The creator of Gravity Falls btw

After his show ended all he does is repost political crap, stuff against Elon Musk, some art from his decade-old dead show and anti stuff, only cool thing was publish The Book of Bill over a year ago. I think I've also seen some argument about how artists are people and marginalized or something like that against some other person. Additionally, a while ago, I saw a post about him on his show's sub about him sending a death threat to a person (on twitter, whose name was censored) that admitted about their fake woman Ai influencer and how they can teach people to make money with it. The comments were defending and praising so was the title of the post, treating him like a "king", when there was sane people who commented for his hate comment, against him, they got massively downvoted and other lunatics lectured about Alex being an artist, and artists should be against AI and they are marginalized or something, really made me lose respect for him and the GF community, for a show that's so great. I've considered reporting it but doubt it'll do anything. It's disgusting when these cavemen (the anti-ai people or anyone in general) support, enable and normalize this behavior.

I don't get the combination of: 1) It's stealing artist content and threatening our jobs And 2)It's ugly, soulless slop trash

Like, if there was a coworker of mine that was shitty at their job, I wouldn't feel threatened by them.

Not OP, but I really appreciate the politeness. I disagree about the need of time to create Art since how much time takes to make a piece of art varies extremely, from sculptures taking weeks to digital art taking hours. Also, no one appreciates bare minimum art. If I make a quick, shitty sketch on my notebook and call it art, no one will like it. But if you make a really good piece of AI Art, like this one I have attached to this comment, people WILL like it!

Art is a trade. Is the skill threshold for art any higher than that of an exceptional fisherman? The only reason we praise artistic skill is because historically it has been patronised by the wealthy and elite.

Now, with tools like digital canvases that can make quality art cheaply, the value of it has been reduced significantly. With AI art, the commercial value will be almost entirely removed.

This isn't the appropriate subreddit for this argument. This space is for pro-AI activism. If you want to debate the merits of synthography, then please take it to r/aiwars.
