Yeah I’m a tech artist— I definitely see the commercial appeal and as someone that traversed a pretty smooth gradient from dev to design over a couple of years, I’m very familiar with what the majority of developers think about designers.

But it’s really hard to overstate just how badly these takes misunderstand art as an entity. So much “as a super brain genius developer, I know that true art is [glib definition that excludes nearly all artists] so any true artist must think X about AI, so if you don’t think that, you’re not a true artist and I can feel good about ignoring any reasonable ethical business boundaries.”
