    Aside from when it’s trending (like right now), no you fucking don’t.

    I streamed, for a while. Nobody gave half a shit. Nobody cares about the “art” that I spent days drawing. Nobody cares about the stories that I voice-acted in my closet because I don’t have a studio to do such things in. I’m poor, and I’m not good at making things. If you claim to care about my “art”, I grantee that you’re a liar.

    I don’t do art for you. I do this for me. I will use all available tools to realize my vision. I do not care for your approval.

    Probably an unpopular take, but I think it’s got its uses. My artistic skills is not too great, and I don’t want to spend the time to get better or pay someone to draw a banner or icon for a Lemmy community or D&D character, for example, because it’s not that important to me. I’m cool if an AI can get kinda close to what I want and it’s nothing I consider to be load-bearing. To be clear, I mostly use it as something to fill up the blank spaces.

    Also, I’ve seen AI art really nail some things. It’s probably one in every 500 images I’ve seen, but it actually does knock it out of the park once in a while. It can also be a fucking hilarious toy if you’re bored. I gave Dall-e a picture of my wife and her sisters and asked it to give me an upscaled version of the picture and it basically drew them as the canker sisters. Good times.

      yeah, probably because the person that generated that image actually took time to write a detailed prompt, used appropriate settings on good hardware, generated many images, and maybe even fed it some composition images to base the generated image off, instead of just typing in “shark motorbike”

    Can we just cut the back and forth and accept AI as another tool and let soulless AI content die off naturally. No one listens to music that’s all autotune after we decided that it was shit. The same will be said for AI.

      I will see ai as a tool when it behaves like a tool to help himan creativity and not syphon it to make derivative trash; AI has potential but currebt applications are very dependant on training and mimicking content that was already made. Why waste my life viewing that with so many great artists and writers out there?

            I don’t know any AI artists. Me i gues… I generate a couple… they sucked… but I like the guy anyway.

            Places i would deploy AI:

            -Foggy background scenes

            -Random textures

            -custom shadin

            I could go on but I’m not a professional artist so there could be already great tools for those use cases. I’m sure I could find a use if I spent more time in the space.

      Some people need something to rage and virtue signal against. Those who work in private STEM sectors or took machine learning classes years before the LLM craze already understand the tool is here and are willing to learn to work with it if applicable in their job or daily life.

      Those who don’t understand anything and are angry at the how megacorporations got the first iterations of training data through unconsentually scraping their copyright infringed data off the internet, still get to feel good by calling it ‘hyped autocomplete just as bad as NFTs that will never do what a person can’. Its a win-win for everyone.

      I think that if you can’t make the art without relying on AI then it isn’t art.

        I can’t design a Minecraft house (art) without having access to Minecraft

    1. There is no “AI”.
    2. There’s nothing inherently wrong or bad with generated art. The assumption that generated art is “slop” is literally the inverted assumption that “AI” will save us. But in reality there’s lots of cool pictures and many cool videos that were generated.
    3. If you’re mad about copyright/exploitation, the actual problem has always been capitalism.

      Luddites would be attacking the capitalism that’s exploiting us all, that coerces artists in serving capital, etc.

      These people just think all generated art is bad because it doesn’t have a “soul” or whatever. They’re literally preferring napkins and poop on the walls.

        I think you’ll find that those of us hating on “AI” “”“art”“” mostly are pretty outspoken anticapitalists.

        And I get how people talking about how it’s all “soulless” slop (it is) can make that objection seem completely metaphysical and disconnected from material reality, but fundamentally that point is about how art is an expression of the subjective self, something that machines are not.
        When a human creates art, every line drawn, every brush stroke and every pixel placed is a choice that says something about the artist, but all that gets abstracted and automated away when the only artistic intent is input as a set of brief verbal instructions.
        Fuck it, the reason all this AI bullshit is getting pushed so hard mainly by fascist tech capitalists is precisely because that kind of abstraction of intent functions chiefly to alienate workers from the means of production. GenAI is, in that regard, fundamentally pro-capitalist.

    I would rather…fuck it I don’t care, Chat GPT finish this comment:

    Black holes don’t “suck” things in like some cosmic vacuum cleaner—they warp spacetime so hard that falling in is like rolling down an infinite hill you can never climb back up.

    The event horizon is the point of no return—cross it, and not even light can escape, meaning you’re officially part of the “never gonna see your mom again” club.

    Time slows down near a black hole—so if you watched someone fall in, they’d appear to freeze in place forever while they, from their own perspective, are getting spaghetti-fied into an infinite death noodle.

    The closest known black hole to Earth is about 1,000 light-years away, which is reassuring until you remember the universe is constantly in motion, and cosmic surprises are a thing.

    Some black holes are so massive they can contain billions of suns—like Ton 618, which is 66 billion times the mass of our Sun and makes everything we know feel pathetic by comparison.

    If you replaced the Sun with a black hole of the same mass, Earth would just keep orbiting like nothing happened—except for the minor issue of all life instantly freezing to death.

        I’ll be pedantic and point out that only a robot would fill a glass of wine to the brim. Asides from that it looks legit, though I wonder how well it would handle generating a glass of wine that is being held out drank from…

          If this is a reference to Asimov’s novels, kudos! Though I believe in his books, humans would fill the glass to the brim to test if someone was a robot, because only a machine wouldn’t spill a drop.

          You didn’t even draw it on a napkin, you used a computer. Real Artists don’t use digital tools.

      That’s actually pretty good depiction of a chunk of roast beef with a revolving rotor attached to it and flying upwards.
