Paul McCartney’s opinion:
“We’re the people, you’re the government! You’re supposed to protect us. That’s your job,”

The government’s opinion:
“We are here to steal your money and give favorable treatment to outsiders who did not vote for us and who do not pay taxes.”

[Jamestown1630]

The AI visual ‘art’ I’ve seen has been very bizarre.

If it had kept these freaks from making their “art” it would have been worth it.

For once I agree with the Hippies. There is no doubt in my mind.

All the good art has already been made. Seriously, what else is there to do?

[nickcarraway]

They’ve always said that.

A big problem with his plan if having the government support artist is that as soon as it is passed a million grifters will immediately claim to be artists, song writers or authors and fill out the forms for their subsidies. Then after decades some president will have to bring in his quadrillionaire friend (inflation, don't you know) to cut them all off.

Whenever I hear of AI art, I think of this from 1984:

The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound.

Seriously, what else is there to do?

My land is an artistic medium, and a challenging one at that. It's different everywhere. It changes constantly. It is endlessly complex.

[dfwgator]

So who goes to an art museum to look at any art made after 1940?

[GingisK]

Western Civilization will probably collapse before that becomes a problem.

[Jamestown1630]

'All the good art has already been made.'

I have to assume that's sarcasm.

As long as new human beings come along, good art will be created; but how much depends on the cultivation of the individuals. We've been dumbing down the 'hoomans' for a couple of generations now; so we have a lot of lousy 'art'.

[dfwgator]

But it’s all been done by now, that’s why a lot of modern art is so perverted, you have to push the envelope more and more in that direction.

[crusty old prospector]

Down with AI! Up with People!

NONSENSE and in spades!

And this is not just about paintings, illustrations, etc., but also about music.

And IF you want me to prove that, FRmail me and I'll be able to thoroughly disabuse you of your ridiculous opinion.

[Drew68]

It's getting crazy how good this stuff is getting.

This is an entirely AI song in the tradition of early 70s Motown. Even the 70s-looking pic of the "artist" is AI.

And there's a bunch of this stuff across many genres.

The streamers like Spotify and Pandora are even making their own AI-generated music (complete with ChatGPT artist biographies) and feeding it into their own radio playlists, generating revenue back to themselves.

This is why they're getting sued by the big record companies. All of this AI music was generated from previously recorded music made by actual humans. The key will be proving who was stolen from, and this will be difficult.

[nopardons]

Orwell was spot on!

That happened a long time ago.
