Employees say they weren’t adequately warned about the brutality of some of the text and images they would be tasked with reviewing, and were offered no or inadequate psychological support. Workers were paid between $1.46 and $3.74 an hour, according to a Sama spokesperson.

    But that’s exactly what’s happening. Bloodsucking capitalists have decided that AI is a cheaper option than paying people a living wage, so creatives are losing their jobs.

    Instead of actually learning how to create art, shitbag grifters claim theyre “taking the power back from creatives” and doing nothing but stealing from actual creatives to make some sort of soulless synthesis, leaving actual creatives high and dry. For just one example, look at how many publishing outlets have stopped taking submissions because of the overwhelming flood of AI spam.

    All the while people are out here trying to make ends meet and are being forced into shitty, low paid jobs or gig work

      I think he/she was referring to the sole purpose of AI being developed is to create an additional subscription model that serves both ads and bullshit, locked to infrastructure of google or metas choice.

      Your complaint here is entirely with capitalism and has nothing to do with AI. It’s a legitimate concern, but it;s fart larger problem than new ways of making pictures. Aim your opprobrium at the correct targets

        No.

        Learn how to actually be a creative person. “Prompt engineering” IS NOT CREATIVITY. Fucking period. You want to paint? Paint. You want to write? Write. You want to draw? Draw. Feeding bullshit into a synthesis machine IS NOT CREATIVITY.

        Fuck off with your AI apologia. AI bullshit IS NOT ART
