    Calling AI generated pictures “art” is insulting to most artists. I agree though, all this hype is driven by short-sighted capitalism

      It’s good enough that people won’t hire artists to do their art. Are you a corporate suit who needs mock ups of a certain idea or product? Have an unpaid intern spend 5 hours prompting Sora AI to produce hundreds of, and sort down to 5, images that you can use on your post-golf lunch meeting tomorrow afternoon

      You seriously think people wouldn’t do for free what others require pay for under any other socio-economic society?

      Oh, right…. Capitalism is to be blamed for…. Everthing ever.

      Don’t get me wrong. Capitalism sucks, but let’s not dilute the water.
