    You won’t get that from artists

    Bullshit. That’s so fucking elitist. Go ask all the people using midjourney to generate slop if they’re artists. They’re artists as much as vibe coders are programmers.

      Unless they have learnt to draw/paint, they’re not artists. Just like people who haven’t learnt how to code are not developers.

        Artists are a very broad group that doesn’t have a specific definition.

        I mean, is someone doodling on their notebook an artist? They are creating handmade art, are they not?

        Creating art is something intrinsically human. Capitalism has destroyed that. Now unless you have skill that you can monetize, you aren’t an artist. When it used to be that anyone who created art, no matter how bad, was an artist.

          Okay, and?

          I can tell you who’s definitely not an artist: the person who tells others to create their idea. They’re a client.

        Then you understand why “actual” developers feel insulted and protest against being part of that ridiculous, malevolent conspiracy theory in the comic.

        This shit is trying to rile up an old, stupid “creative vs tech people” war. It’s completely missing who the real enemy is, instead misrepresenting and putting an easy target on the basic nerds like it’s fucking 1980.

        It stinks. It’s reactionary bullshit, and they should be ashamed of it. If you still can’t see it, I don’t know what to tell you.

          I will still maintain that I have a certain impression from the outside (artists are doing shit about the situation, devs need to get off their asses) which I’d imagine is what others are seeing too.
