Holy shit, this is my first time hearing about the "Being anti-A.I is ableist" argument. Fucking how?
Part of me is sad to see this go, I knew a lot of creative people who took NaNoWriMo as a good time to just write something, but holy shit, I hadn't realized how deep down the hole they actually were.
the line of thinking is probably something along the lines of AI being more "inclusive" because all you need is to produce some text for the AI to then generate into art. people who are e.g. quadriplegics would be able to "make art" through AI and speech-to-text that they otherwise couldn't. so being anti-AI would mean you're essentially advocating for the removal of some peoples' capability to participate in creating art.
not a great argument imo, but I'm not physically disabled so I don't really have a skin in this particular game
There are multiple artists who still make art, despite being quadriplegics. They learn to paint and sculpt with their faces.
Marcus Thomas, paralyzed from the neck down after a skiing accident:
Mariam Paré, paralyzed from the neck down after being shot:
Ron Heagy, paralyzed from the neck down after surfing accident:
One of the wealthiest and most well-known artists of the last 50 years, Chuck Close, paralyzed from spinal arterial collapse. He eventually regained limited mobility of his left hand, which he used to paint:
So fuck these AI grifters trying to hide behind disabled people. We don't need them when they're the ones stealing from us lmao
Is your second maybe the Chuck Close? The subject looks like Chuck Close's favorite subject, Chuck Close.
Nope! It's Parè's piece heavily influenced by Close.
