These comments just make me sad, because I have a feeling you are not talking specifically about artists mad at AI art when you say 'some people'. You are letting the voices of a few people convince you to abadon the silence of a majority. And in this current political world, that could result in a lot of people who see eye to eye with you being punished.
It makes me sad too. But the amount of people who just push hate speech for every little thing in left leaning spaces nowadays is too big.
In this case the little thing is just insulting people using an AI tool (not even the big bussiness they are insulting the PEOPLE). But I've seen it more and more with a lot of different examples in the latest years. Another big instance is militant veganism, I'm sick of being called a rapist and a genocidal guy equivalent to Hitler for just eating meat, so they are alone until they got their shit together and start calling out the bigots in their spaces.
And like those two each year that passes there's something new you have to blindly follow the lead or be insulted for doing nothing wrong. It feels like in the left community things are not open to debate anymore, and any dissidence of though is quickly punished. It's almost ironic that the place for diversity does not feel like any diverse thinking is allowed anymore.
This AI thing have not even be debated anywhere, some people decided that it's bad and that's it. No further arguments are allowed, and it's free season for hunting and insulting the PEOPLE that even dares to use a tool that's everywhere to use right now.
I know is a vocal minority, and that's the vocal minority I want to leave out, and I hope we can build spaces where this hateful people are called out. Because right now in the community spaces we have these people are not being called out, quite the contrary they are prone to reach positions of power and take hold of the communities, most probably because people prone to violence and conflict are far more likely to fight and achieve for positions of power. While peaceful people tend to get away from such conflicts.
You're right, we should be more open. You want to do flat earth?
I'll start.
...Uh, what am I supposed to say here...
"I can not see the curve in the horizon."
Use that energy against homeopathy and pseudosciences that are prevalent in liberal spaces.
