I am a little shocked at the lack of solidarity I see between artists working in different mediums wrt genAI.
Musicians who would never use it to make music use it to make cover art
Graphic artists reach for it to make music over their videos
Writers use it to illustrate their articles
And, considering software development an art, many use it to create web sites or apps to host their art.
None of this is necessary. All of this is harmful to the other artists.
Collaborate ffs.
Stop it.

Nah there’s a lot of propaganda going around about LLMs and programmers. There’s some real die-hard advocates who think their own experiences project to the whole industry. It’s fucking awful at specialised domains with large proprietary codebases. Even if you get past needing a complete lack of moral backbone it just doesn’t make any sense to use in a lot of codebases - not that companies aren’t about to learn an expensive lesson about why.
