This really disgusts me, and it confounds me. What is he thinking?
Certainly a smart, well-informed writer like Thom Hartmann knows all the problems caused by so-called artificial intelligence. Asking AI to create artwork is a *huge* waste of valuable resources β water and energy β not to mention probable infringement on the rights of original image creators. Plus it feeds right into the hands of thieving capitalist mega-corporations, the kind that a liberal like Hartmann presumably opposes.
Using AI in this way is indefensible. Itβs wrong, and it must be condemned.
Iβve stopped following Hartmann (@ThomHartmann) and I hope you will too.
