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.

Rather than seeing themselves as members of a creative class, they see themselves as free floating individuals in the marketplace of ideas. They don't unite together to gain a stronger bargaining position, they tear each other down for even the slightest edge.
