Yeah, nothing is more bougie than independent artists, most of whom are struggling to make ends meet even WITH a day job.. ๐
Boo-fucking-hoo they have a "day" job? Wow so do I! It's called having a job and being working class. Newsflash - you don't get paid for hobbies, be they drawing or lounging on a couch.
So you're one of those "art is just a hobby for the indolent" idiots?
art can be a profession, however the demand for art is way lower than the supply of artists leading to most of the artists being "underpaid" and not earning a livable wage.

Whatever you believe I probably disagree.
Fixed. Now fix your attitude towards art.
Yikes. A world without artists would be a dark, dark place. What an incredibly terrible take, unless you're implying that the only art that counts as labor is when it's for a corporation, in which case, even worse take, yikes again.
A world without commercial artists would not be too different to me, because art is something everyone should do for themselves and their community.
All it's led to is commercialisation and enshittification, turning everyone into drooling consumers who don't even have the willpower to stop scrolling the most mind-numbing of content feeds ever devised.
I don't want artists to starve, even the most shallow, talentless fail-upwards hack deserves a living wage and the material safety that a society defined by it's excess could easily provide.
But the reason you don't like people even just aimlessly messing around with AI art is because it demonstrates that you could do something with your life if you gave a shit, and how many have decided to at least try, now that it doesn't take time they don't have to put their ideas into some form, crappy as it may be, instead of only consooming treats and glorifying others in an endless cycle of celebrity worship, while it all just goes over your head.
It's as shallow a reason as there can be, and I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks, I'm an anarchist, I will stand by that anything that erodes the power of corporations and their awful, soulless world, especially of such an absurd notion as intellectual property claimed on the infrastructure of the commons - as this does - is the right thing to do.
And spiritually, emotionally, in my heart of hearts - of-fucking-course actual working class people in their dreary cities hours and hours on end in traffic or the subway getting home to hungry children and being able to partake in art is a fucking good thing, not just us (me, idk about you) post-modern aristocrats chatting on Lemmy at 1AM.
