when non-US folks share things that are supposed to he funny and/or relatable, we usually convert our currencies to dollars as most people know how much that's worth roughly

the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn't make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow

it's not AI "art" itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI "art" itself it's about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it's not art, because it's not individual pieces that "make us think" – it's the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can't be bothered to engage with art at all.

sure it does make you think, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

i'm reading enough into your comment. i literally explained why that wouldn't change much

never mind a canvas, if the guy cared in the slightest about the "art" AI made he'd at least print it on poster paper

this experiment shows how even the "artists" just do not care about those images, and why would they? why would any of us care?

this shows exactly the core of the issue - every piece of art made by a human, no matter how good or bad (whatever that means), is a reflection of the artist. Sometimes they pour their entire soul into a piece, sometimes just a small part of them, but it's always a reflection of them. So the artist will care about what they've made because it's their own self, in a way. And others will care about it too, because we crave to get to know others, understand them, see the world how they see it - and art allows us to glimpse just that.

AI slop elicits none of those emotions, there is no artist to care about, no reflection of the self, no worldview to glimpse, no way of caring about it, nothing – even if it was you who wrote the prompt, you just can't bring yourself to give a shit

i just hope Skyrim Grandma gets to play it :(

wow, it seems like it's printed on printer quality paper. really amplifies how those who use AI for "art" don't give a flying fuck about art

and the third is autism spectrum lisorder!

yeah but there're more -isms and -phobias that are enabled on that website, feels a bit odd to single out one bigotry amongst so many

i could tell you that without burning through a litre of water

i mean, we have the solutions to a lot of problems already

traffic? public trains

hunger? just like, feed people

global warming? reduce fossil fuel usage and stop poisoning the oceans

homeless? literally so many empty homes, put people in them???

and we've had many smart people create step by step plans for all of these!

the thing is... i guess rich people want a solution that doesn't involve them paying for something that's good not just for them but for others? so all those plans fail at step 1 - have empathy

i'm way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don't even know what i'd use them for

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame
