What does NASA have to do with the creation of art? Art and science are not the same thing. What might be good for progress technologically, like flying to the moon, might not be good for a different field.
Art is all about the time and energy spent. If Clair Obscure came out of an AI machine that took 3 minutes to create it, most people wouldn't play it and it wouldn't have won any awards.
Cutting corners or "saving time and energy" is the opposite of exploring creatively, and these tools are not capable of unique thought or inspiration.
Reread the comment instead of irrationally reacting before you understand the context. Calculators used to be people. Literally. It was a job. I brought up NASA as an example because, very famously, their "calculators" were part of history... So it should have been well known enough for people to see the parallel. But then I guess ever since moving to digital boards for math we can just downplay all subsequent achievments because the scientists didnt work hard enough.
If I'm not mistaken those artists' art was well recieved. I find it interesting that so many people seem intent on defining a world they aren't part of. Wacom tablets are tools, are digital artists not real artists because they don't use paper?
Know any artists? I know quite a few. I wouldn't dare inject my preconceptions on their process. Who the fuck am I to tell somone what is or isn't part of their process. Traditional media, music, ...even architects use tools to help iterate on their ideas - and their lives are easier for it.
But please, explain to the class why your ideals supercede their own.
Speaking for everyone? That's bold. Is that your process or are you just a bobblehead parroting what someone else told you to say?
Oh cool, now I'm an irrational person who reacts quickly. Thats a good start.
Do you even know the point you are trying to make? You make a bunch of preconceptions and then claim you won't do that, so thats fun too.
You can keep writing nonsense arguments all you want, you aren't an artist and should probably do what you said and shutup instead of making a bunch of assumptions.
The full body of your response disregarded the core meaning of what I was saying. You didn't understand something but just powered on through with your opinion. Which if we can appreciate the irony:
You, like many, are looking to burn a company at the stake over what I would clearly describe as a very polished product... Over an asset that they mistakenly left in. Can you comprehend how batshit insane that is?
My response was measured and pretty on the nose I'd say.
Considering the consistency in what I've said in this thread ... I'd say I do. As far as me making preconceptions: again I'd recommend you take a look at what I wrote and read it again. (We have a trend developing) I gave my reasons: and I provided the logic behind it. But if you'd like to drag this out: go ahead and show me what my "preconceptions" were. I'll wait.
I posted facts, I provided commentary on them, and even provided an example as a parallel. You, by your own words: didn't understand the example (and made no attempt to), you ignored the nuance of the commentary, and preceded to put your ignorance on full display here.
And apparently you want to complete this nonsense by implying you know me or what I do. I dont recall knowing anyone as dull as you that suffered a headwound ... But I'll jog your memory:
Staring with the key topic:
I've signed more NDAs and non-competes for multiple, well known, gaming companies ... Than years you've existed on this planet. So let's just say I have "some" industry knowledge.
You mentioned I'm not an artist: another bold claim but... Its broad so let's cover the bases.
I started my career in design. I've worked with 5 color printing presses. I've been paid for my work, although digital art, which has been seen by "roughly a country of people" around '04. Not enough for you? I maintain a circle of artist friends, who - over time have filled my home and consequently one of my closets with their works. I am honored and grateful that I'd be trusted with someone's original blood sweat and tears condensed into a single medium. I'd be forgiven, I think, for speaking on their behalf. If not? They know my handle - they have my number - and know where I live....
They can @ me and tell me to shut up. You can't.
I could go on but I think I've made my point sufficiently in this long post. Go crawl back to the echo chamber from whence you came. If you are capable of critical thought - it has yet to be demonstrated.
Maybe you should just host a blog so we can read your ideas all the time.
Maybe I do. Who's to say - unless you want to tell me what I do again?
Its been rare to see somone so utterly dismantled that their only response is to repeat the observation I made at the end of that thrashing. It is almost comical how you just set yourself up for a callback to the parroting and echo chamber comments.
In closing:
Even if I did have a blog, I think it's apparent, by now, you'd just wait for somone else to read it and tell you what to think.
xoxo
Good for you man.
Cheers. Hopefully you learned something. I'll admit I had a giggle at the situation when I noticed your username.
I didnt read your posts.
That was obvious from the get go. That's exactly why I said you were dull and made the comment "that you let somone else read things and tell you what to think." I appreciate the confirmation.
Maybe you can save even more time by not bothering to post next time too.
I think its funny that you keep talking to yourself. You probably feel like you need the last reply too.
You mean I get an encore for the admission cost of a reply? I'm in if you are.
You've already put on the clown makeup for everyone - might as well dance too!
Yep, all those people laughing at me right now, how embarrassing right?
They do say ignorance is bliss. And, well, you definitely have plenty to spare ;)
Keep the insults coming! Be more creative!
I haven't needed to insult you yet. Why would I? You, by your actions and responses have been more than sufficient. I just pointed it out.
The hope was to drive home that parroting (ey! callbacks) an opinion that isn't yours isn't wanted or useful.
And I know, I know - you don't read much:
So let's use your words to have fun:
I think it's funny knowing how many times you've set yourself up in this thread. See that quote? That's me using your words as bait.
I could just copy and paste your own quote repeatedly and you'd either be compelled to respond - making yourself that exact thing... Or being the one that was forced out of the exchange: beaten with your own words.
So... Polly want a cracker? 🦜
