    The left? The right?

    Progressiveness is defined by embracing change, sometimes to the fault of change for the sake of change. Conservatism is defined by embracing tradition, sometimes to the fault of rejecting change that benefits society.

    However, some artists are politically left, and they don’t like AI because they say it steals their work.

    I do agree those who take a moral stand against AI are putting themselves at a disadvantage to those who use it. Not everybody who is opposed to AI is in a position that would be improved with AI use, however. So there is that.

    In American politics, I see the president doing dumb shit with AI (such as making himself appear as Jesus and healing Jeffrey Epstein) but we all know it’s AI and most people don’t take it seriously at all.

      The progressive and conservative “movements” in the USA were named the same way Greenland was. By picking a word that would help appeal to low information folk.

      Neither has any actual adherence to either change or tradition for the sake of such.

        I always say; the terms aren’t useful in discussion or debate, but they’re great in a fight!

        This is a great point. They’re vague concepts, used as shorthand to communicate someone’s philosophies in very broad strokes. They’re not philosophies or even true political movements in and of themselves.
