Hey there, sometimes I see people say that AI art is stealing real artists’ work, but I also saw someone say that AI doesn’t steal anything, does anyone know for sure? Also here’s a twitter thread by Marxist twitter user ‘Professional hog groomer’ talking about AI art: https://x.com/bidetmarxman/status/1905354832774324356
The problem is that there may continue to be increased resource demands anyway due to increased usage (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-ai-boom-could-use-a-shocking-amount-of-electricity/) Generally, yes, this may be made better but that currently is still the issue I see primarily with AI art in 2025
I mean that’s just Jevons Paradox, it’s not really AI specific problem.
Yes, but it still can be applied to AI
My point is that even if AI art was magically banned tomorrow, the energy demand isn’t going to drop as a result. Instead, we’ll just start using energy for something else. That’s a feature of how our civilization functions.
