Assuming they are disabled, which a passerby like myself cannot be expected to know, that does not excuse the deliberate choice to use ethically unsound technology. It’s especially true in this case, as even if a disability limits your potential as a visual artist, you’ll gladly commission somebody if you have any respect for the craft. I know this because I too have such a disability, and it hurts. It hurts knowing I might forever depend on the hands of others to bring some of my ideas to life, but you know what? That only strengthens my appreciation of visual artists and their work. I’d rather commission a talented artist to mix my silly brainwaves with their personal flourishes and create something meaningful, ten times over, then throw some words at an industrialized theft machine to get soulless slop.
Agreed. Also OP is the moderator of PeerTube .wtf which I recently moved away from on account of being told I should waste my time, energy, and (nonexistent) artistic ability creating artwork for someone who already decided to “generate” slop instead of commissioning an actual artist.
Edit: lol I’m stoopid I just realized that I might be the whole reason this post exists hahahaha
TBH I’m not surprised.
You attacked and insulted a disabled person for using AI.
