Use of Claude Code for an application used by artists. Just a fundamental misalignment of expectations.

Makes no sense. I don't see physical artists being upset that their pencils were manufactured in a factory instead of hand made.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

We're in a reply chain discussing a mob of digital artists exercising verbal violence against a digital painting software author who used LLM to assist with the code. This is literally an analogous situation.

>verbal violence

Clearly there's hyperbole on both sides

What does verbal violence mean non-hyperbolically to you?

>Verbal abuse (also known as [...] verbal violence [...]) is a type of psychological abuse that involves the use of oral or written language directed to a victim. Verbal abuse can include the act of harassing, labeling, insulting, scolding, rebuking, or excessive yelling towards an individual.

> Verbal abuse can include the act [...] rebuking

I'm sorry for this verbal abuse you'll now receive, as I'm disagreeing with you, but it's really hard to see "rebuking" as verbal abuse, I think that page might need a pass or two to make it a bit more objective.

On the contrary I think that's an apt comparison. Look up the history of e.g. the Luddites. This isn't the first time this sort of thing has happened in human history.
