I am starting to get tired of art folks justifying their use of genAI for “things they don’t know how to do”, which is exactly what other folks are complaining about when they justify using it to spew art.
“I only use it for my product descriptions” means "I’m okay wasting a bottle of water to cool processors when it’s for my own personal purposes, but woe to you who is doing it for yours."
“I have too much work if I don’t use it,” and “I can’t keep up” actually mean “I forgot how to do anything before they told me my convenience was more important than the environment & power grid & water table,” or “I must do things faster because they tell me it’s better for them if I help them make money off me and make their investors happy."
It’s still smarmy, whatever your excuse is. You're an artist, you should know better. I’m unsubscribing. If those are your ethics I don’t need your art.
