The problem isn't AI, it is capitalism.

I'd love for those artists to receive a Universal Basic Income so they can keep drawing whatever they want however they want. Don't even need to be paid for it.

Them making creative work is enough of a contribution to society. No need to put a monetary value on it.

I want to upvote harder. When the arts have died, humanity’s soul will follow soon after! Being forced to choose between having food to eat or a place to stay and pursuing creative interests is soul-crushing.

UBI & eating the rich can’t come soon enough.

sticker i made. feel free to use it wherever you'd like.
