I think the ultimate goal is to destroy art in general because it has always been a majour driving factor for progressive social change (at least since the Renaissance), because art is about critically reflecting on our society and our environment.
I’ve got news for them. all they’re doing is removing the monetary viability of art, which actually works against them and their current tax evasion practices.
progressive art doesn’t need a buyer, or a gallery. progressive art only needs an audience, and when everyone is jobless and destitute there will be a large captive audience that is sympathetic to progressive art and its message.
You are right on the money. I’m 90% sure YouTube has been applying postprocessing to give videos an AI sheen as well. If they could all stop, that would be great. Half these games look worse than 5 years ago. The other half look good, but have an unsettling vibe. As for YT, videos of real people don’t need to be AI-ified
They have. Artists noticed it months ago when their art got fucked. Lines got oddly smeared, combined, etc. Lines they’d spent hours meticulously placing.
There was an outcry but not much more than that sadly.
So basically they want everything, real or not, to have that AI sheen to it. Ugh.
If everything looks kinda like AI slop, then you won’t object to the full slop.
Radio stations playing their “push list” so that everyone hears the songs multiple times and eventually begin to like it.

Yeah, I also think this attempt will ultimately fail. They probably think it could work, but these people are not known for being particularly smart.
It could still divert some people from the right “path” (learning to appreciate good art though), which makes me a bit sad.
