Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists’ permission. And that’s without getting into AI’s negative drag on the environment.

    “I feel like a lot of the anti-AI people just… want there to be less beautiful art in the world,” one Redditor replied in the same thread.

    The beauty of, what, mutations caused by a nuclear accident?

      This was the craziest quote to me:

      “I hope someday being anti-AI is seen as ableist,” another mused.

      WHAT.

      Just…FUCKIN WHAT.
