Dan Mumford's art used in the Ai art creation?

[airsnares]

Regardless of where I fall on the Ai art discussion, I'm a bit creeped out by how hard the still images mimic the poster artist Dan Mumford's work, like close enough that it looks like his work was specifically scraped for the generation. Am I crazy?

i see where you are coming from. I think so too. Kinda the reality of AI and art. Maybe he could block the AI scrap with a tool or something?

Maybe, maybe not. But anything that can be replaced by technology deserves to be replaced by technology. We don't have horseshoe blacksmiths, candle makers, and codex-copying monks either, do we? And civilization is better off for it.

And if technology suddenly breaks, or people get stranded somewhere without any and we find ourselves in desperate need of horseshoes, candles, iron tools, and new written books, but nobody knows how to do those tasks... then what?

I wonder if people in the Bronze Age said the same thing about stone knapping? "Yeah this Bronze stuff is great but what if we can't source our tin or copper? And the best people who know how to work with stones are gone... and there's a giant Mammoth bearing down upon us... then what?"
