I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.

Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art

Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos

Writers use it to illustrate their articles

And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.

None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.

Collaborate ffs.

Stop it.

    Was going to post the same thing. It’s not just the arts either, all branches of academia seem to be suffering from this.

    i don’t know why so many software devs have so little respect for themselves and their work

    A lot of the dev process is tedious as fuck. I’ve never met a developer who enjoys writing tests, for example. That plus Agile/kanban long since totally dehumanized the development process by treating devs as fungible engineering units.

      Also like every 5 minutes there’s a new framework and tool that will become obsolete 5 years later and people don’t want to keep learning all of them while every project does their own thing. Programming slop started long before AI took over (looking at you JavaScript)
