What do the anti-AI people actually want?
Just thought we could have a conversation about this here. First off, i'm sure most of them don't even know themselves, they just jump on it with everyone else.
The biggest real "anti-AI campaign" was on art sites like ArtStation, and the objective was specifically to get these sites to ban art made using AI, which of course is impossible to do entirely, though they have now tried, and it even affected non-AI artists just because their style was too close to "typical AI output". That was a single, clearly defined cause.
However, i'm not sure that's why most of the artists who signed on it and changed their avatar to the anti-AI sign, etc. actually did it. I think many of them just thought it was somehow against the entire existence of AI, and of course it was nothing but slacktivism from people who wouldn't do anything more but change their avatar and make some posts.
It's also worth noting, that the most loudmouthed anti-AI "activists" were from medicore, unoriginal but commercially succesful illustrators in the absolute mainstream, while the rest of the supporters were unsuccesful wannabes from the absolute bottom of the food chain, who were simply fooled into thinking that this cause would somehow benefit them.
If "anti-AI" becomes a bigger and more active movement, what do you see them actually wanting to accomplish, and could they? Some kind of ban on commercial development of AI, or investment by companies / governments etc. , or on mainstream media use or even mention of it?
