    I dont care about AI art, I set healthy boundaries with technology and find fulfillment elsewhere, and while income inequality sucks I’m grateful for what I have. You could call this gratitude bootlicking but I call this tweet “Moralizing Depression”.

      You can do both.

      You can be grateful for what you have while realizing that the current state of the world is bullshit.

        Yeah, but I unironically believe that being alive in the 21st century is great and fantastic. I’m not sure people here feel that.

      To be fair, the backlash comes from AI being a very real threat to many artistic fields that were already very hard to make a living in. What they have isn’t much, it’s hard to be grateful for less.
