As I’d just written in another reply here, there is a world of difference in describing an illustration and creating an illustration.

While my thinking is in line with what @TheLobotomist@lemmy.world and @NateNate60@lemmy.ml have already said, why can’t “AI artists” just do what everybody in a profit-seeking situation does and just lie about it? “No your honor, our studies have shown cigarette smoking is not hazardous to your health,” “yes, your honor, OxyContin is completely safe,” or in this case “yes, your honor, I created this illustration.” If your conscience is really bothering you, you could claim it was AI-assisted. I wouldn’t think there’d be a “Big Eyes” prove-you-painted-that courtroom case. Am I wrong?

No, all/most of the cool stuff gets politicized/weaponized and becomes shitty.

You mean like Trump and Twitter?

Why must you politicize/weaponize the Fediverse?
