    comes at the expense of the livelihood of artists and creators

    I’m not that guy, but what livelihood of artists and creators? It’s one dude working alone, where’s the money for that going to come from?

    I sometimes record music and put it on bandcamp, I recorded a signle recently and it needed album art. I could take a picture and put a shitty filter on it, or I could generate an AI art that looks nice and more specific to my idea of what I wanted it to be.

    I don’t have $200 kicking around to comission art for something I did as a hobby.

        1. I’m not that guy

        2. Hence, can’t release my recording as FOSS, since it’s not software.

        3. The music is out there for free (pay tip if you want)

        4. This kind of stuff is what allows people to stop living shitty miserable lives of working shit jobs for low pay. Maybe if we wish on a star, we can be the next Balatro guy.
