pointing out that a false statement is false is not semantics.

before any constructive discussion about neural net generated art can take place, you kind of need to have your facts in place. regurgitating lies like "it just collages existing art" is just fanning the flames and yelling very loudly.

you can't shove this back in the bottle once its out, pissing and shitting your pants because it exists (which is what most reddit intellectual ""discussion"" about this devolves to) is an endeavour in futility.

artists have their concerns about usage, and i think they deserve to be heard and considered.

but that doesn't mean they just get to make up shit about the tech and pass it off as a concern lmao.
