What AI art can't do. And why maybe that doesn't really matter :-(

[Dire Bare]

But there are countless small-scale projects that might raise a few thousand dollars. In those cases I doubt investing in preliminary work is a wise investment.

I don't care. Big or small or even individual creator . . . if you are using gen-AI, I will not support your project.

Small creators figured out how to do it before gen-AI, so can you.

I don't accept the "this is the only way I can afford to do this project" excuse.

I don't accept the "this is the only way I can afford to do this project" excuse.

Uhhh...that's not what I was saying. It's an efficiency argument, sure, but that's not the same as the above.

Also, in my case (if I were starting crowdfunding campaigns, which I'm not) it wouldn't be "an excuse" because I don't believe there's anything wrong with it. "Rationale" would be more accurate.
