  • When real artists make art without tools made by someone else, or knowledge gained form someone else, I'll agree with you.

    We stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before us so we can reach higher than they ever did.

  • There'll be a lot of people with plenty of time on their hands to go have a chat. You think rights are given? Rights are taken and secured with blood. No king gives up their kingdom without a fight.

  • “Why don’t we just automate all jobs” like it’s that easy?

    I'm not, I'm saying jobs will be automated as we can automate them, we have pocket calculators instead of people calculators which were as impossible to comprehend to ancient Egyptians as the general pace of progress seems to be to you. How are you so bad at extrapolating that concept? If you want the world to be fixed and perfect build a time machine. If you want the world to be better, wait a decade. If you want your life to be better, wait a day.

  • I agree, but you don't share a faberge egg with a child, nor a nude with an enemy. Understanding that anything you put into the public sphere is prone to be poked, grabbed, smeared, and stolen is just a natural part of sharing. Even laws can only protect so much and only in retrospect.

  • Haven't yet. Time doesn't end now. we didn't have the car for 2.4 billion years before it was invented either.

    You're literally complaining about them not doing what they're doing because you aren't happy with the results yet.

  • Copyright will be forced to crumble or be enforced with physical force. The fact is we're moving to a society where information recording and reproduction is improving to the point where physical likeness is a contributing factor in the socialisation of all knowledge and information. Anything that can be represented in the physical world can have a visual facsimile created. Our time is temporary but for the first time in human history something as little as having a photo taken of yourself can literally contribute to the advancement of all humanity.

    Don't let the corpos steal the right to your likeness, everyone deserves to see your beauty.

  • New tools new problems new solutions. Identity theft has always existed, it's time for society to realise everything they contribute can now be socialised as knowledge and information for all, including our voices. Other voice actresses, like the one who voiced Lydia for Skyrim, also requested that her voice not be used for mods and facsimiles, this was for the most part respected by the creator community, but can't be enforced, and any person with less clout won't have any control over their exposure any more. Society will have to accept that our physical likenesses are publicly accessible information than can be replicated, this was always going to become the case, recording information is what humans do best. Next up, thoughts and memories.

  • If it was possible to automate all jobs, capitalism would’ve done it by now.

    Capitalism is the halfway point between Feudalism and Socialism, we've got another 4000 years on that social scale. Maybe don't consider capitalism superman when it's actively killing people.

    "If man was supposed to fly we'd be doing it by now!" - Some moron in the past.

  • Here's my take as an artist. Sometimes the things we hold most dear are too delicate to share. Either make art for the public, or make art for private consumption. If you do the former accept that anything you release to the public is owned by the public, consider it advertising, and when you do the latter make sure you keep what is private out of the access of the public. If someone likes what you can do they'll come to you for commissions, if they then release those commissions to the public then that's their choice to socialise that artwork, consider it advertising.

    "Painters can't compete with colour photography!" - 1950's
    "Traditional artists cant compete with Photoshop!" - 2000's
    "Traditional/Digital artists can't compete with AI!" - 2020's

    No one is taking art away, because it's the expression that matters, not the medium. Mass production will always go the way of maximum efficiency, and even then experts in the appropriate skills rise to the top.

  • Then it sounds like you've got something more important to bring up with your representatives than the art you don't have time to make. Get a horse in the race before you start betting.
