Considering I have no fucking idea what a NAFO troll is I feel like it undermines your point a fair bit. Maybe you keep hearing the same thing from others because you need to reconsider your position?
Eh, in all fairness the meat & dairy industry is one thing that we as consumers really do need to take a bulk of responsibility for. I say that as a devout meat eater.
BUT, governments could go a long way by not subsidising dairy and meat and instead subsidising protein alternatives. It's fucking nuts to me that it costs more for me to buy plant protein.
(Before the die hard vegans come at me saying you don't need to eat pseudo (plant) proteins to eat less meat, please remember you're trying to convert people that are familiar and enjoy one diet to another. You're not going to encourage anyone by advocating a cold-turkey or 0% meat approach. I hate that I have to put this disclaimer here, but I'm fed up with arguing with puritanical vegans that overshadow pragmatism.)
Who? Artists, generally or those upset that AI/LLMs have been taught from their work? Not what I'm implying at all, as already highlighted extensively.
People criticising AI/LLM art as 'not art/not creative'? Yes.
If you're not conflating my argument, then you are either being really fucking stupid or deliberately trolling. In either case, I'm done wasting my time on you.
So I read why they dropped out of popularity in Southern Europe following the arrival of the potato. It's because to be actually tasty and sweet, the parsnip plant needs to be hit by a hard frost - which presumably just doesn't happen in Southern Europe, and is probably why I can't very tasty parsnips these days in England - because we get fewer hard frosts.
But by delegating stuff we free up our time for other things.
If you're making an argument that humans are tending towards being less creative, then I'd need to see some evidence to support that assertion. Because from my perspective we get more creative the more free time we have.
I wasn't pointing to a conspiracy, merely the fact that the criticism voiced so far doesn't have any substance to it other than 'I don't like it' and therefore is likely because it's new and different.
Edit:
I just realised you may be conflating my argument here about what constitutes as 'art' with artists making a case they've been ripped off because LLMs have been trained on their work.
Yeah, good quality handwriting is less prevalent now than it has been in the past - but that's not because of a loss of artistry, but because that mode of written communication is less important. But there are still plenty of calligraphy artists out there, and are perhaps more highly prized now than they were before.
Human creativity doesn't stop, we just progress to new tools when the previous ones can be automated. And yet, even then, we still have people that go back to use the old tools for the simple joy of using them.
Ooh. I hope this can be set as the default for 'Copy Link' and then I can just have the tracking when I actually want it.
