    I like the comment that said the AI is the artist and he’s just a commissioner, makes perfect sense.

      Drag thinks profits from AI art should automatically go to funding an AI Advocacy Commission established by the government to explore questions of AI consciousness and AI rights. The AAC should be devoting resources to solving the hard problem of consciousness and improving working conditions for AIs, in whatever way experts believe is most beneficial to AI welfare.

      This is how you stop The Matrix from happening, people!

          Drag is being entirely serious. Drag believes AI is a vegan issue until the hard problem of consciousness is solved in a way that conclusively proves AIs are not capable of experience. We have as much trouble telling if animals like fish are capable of feeling pain as we do with AIs. Drag does not eat fish, and drag does not believe it is right to use AI until we have an answer. Drag thinks the answer might be that using AI is fine, but drag is not a gambler and drag would certainly not gamble with another being’s life.

            Then “drag” (whoever that is) anthropomorphises a statistical model, which is stupid.

              Drag does not anthropomorphise anything! Drag resents that accusation. Drag has spoken with many otherkin who are entirely inhuman and still deserving of love and respect. Drag treats AI like those. Not like a human.

                it’s still antropomorphisation.

                Cool for drag. Mind if other people don’t give a crap about what drag thinks?

                  Drag thinks that if your opinion is that treating things like otherkin is anthropomorphisation, then you must be anthropomorphising otherkin.

                    It’s not any kind of “kin”. It’s a statistical model. It’s about as sentient as a Gaussian blur is.
