AI “artists” be like

#HumanArtists

It's important to know that tech unions could democratically steer the development and usage of ai.

And please do check out my friend's book "The Day the Elves Saved Christmas For Themselves" a funny rhyming book on solidarity, AND it addresses automation amazon.com/Day-Elves-Save…

Oh and I'm available for interviews. As an artist, technophile, and socialist, I've got a pretty clear perspective on tech, art, and displacement or freedom.

Here's an example of how I talk about these things. Featuring crypto!

As an artist, technophile, and socialist I'm in a unique place to talk about this.
"Tech" isn't bad or good. In capitalism, AI accelerates the exploitation and commodification of "the arts", and accelerates the displacement of artist who use their skills for wages. ?/?

In a just world, tech would free us from labor for owner class and allow us to simply create art as expression. AI imagery would be pretty benign. As it is now, it's displacing as owners choose for cheaper, faster, and "Gets the job done."

And with all this discussion, I wanted to do something very human: put brush to paper

I dont do perfect lettering, but my imperfections are additions i think.

If you want to support this #humanartist, this tee is now in the shop. #humanartists
