Commissioning individual artists has always been a bourgeois thing. This is about locking proles out of cultural mass production and locking them out entirely.

Selling your labor to bourgeois pigs (the only people that can afford to pay) so that you can eat makes you a prole. Working at a production house makes you a prole. It's like getting mad at an Uber driver.

I don't understand why you're upset that some fields have better working conditions than others when the collective struggle is to improve work conditions for everyone, and the conditions of production artists are already mostly sweatshops in the third world to begin with.

I want to get art for as little as possible and they want to be paid as much as possible.

Any labor is worth what it's worth, obviously considering intensity of work and training required. I don't understand how you can be mad at this.

An hour of your work is worth an equivalent hour of another worker's work.

celebrating is the enormously increased accessibility of art creation.

At the cost of foreclosing art creation as a profession to every prole. Crab bucket mentality.

You should be crying for yourself when every last piece of escapism is bougie liberals jacking themselves off with every Netflix series already being about "the help" homewrecking rich lib families and stealing their houses and every video game gets closer and closer to being "housing encampment demolition simulator".

This is choking out any left influence from the cultural sphere and I can't believe your posts about the crumbs you're getting in return being worth it.

The bourgeoise will dominate AI art too because they don't need to be paid to do it. And on a second note it's not about IP when AI is literally about robbing workers of their means of production and ensuring they'll never be paid for their labor again.

AI automation is stealing labor hours before they haven't even had the opportunity to work them. Robbing people of past and future labor. This isn't IP rent-seeking for work they have already done. It's an attempt to steal all the work they will ever do across all fields requiring human creation and creativity.

Manmade horrors beyond the comprehension of every Soviet painter, writer, composer, musician or anyone else that records human life.

You can use it for whatever you want but it doesn't change the fact that capitalists are absorbing the life's work of human beings into dead capital.
