Are we allowed to like AI art?

[Jimjam]

Nottingham is a city famous for its luddites. Prior to that it was famous for its textiles, like fancy lace. At the dawn of the industrial era the locals were worried about technological innovations taking their jobs. They went out and smashed the delicate mechanical looms so textiles mills had no choice other than continuing work by skilled hand.

This is from where the name ‘Framebreaker’ comes.

And so, history comes full circle. Once again technology threatens the livelihood of artisanal creators. Graphic designers at Games Workshop’s Nottingham towering Citadel recoil in horror at the perfidious promises of AI. “No robot could create a Warhammer Old World Map like me” cries a talented artist working on an entirely original and underivative creation.

Once again Nottingham stands defiant in the face of technology, proudly ensuring luxuries remain in the hands of boutique cottage industries and outside the pocket of the common man. Bravo.
