we gave all the kids updoot buttons that give a dopamine hit whenever they just post “slop” in response to anything. What would we expect to happen? What if we treated the idiots who were like “FIRST” in every thread back in 2003 like they were geniuses analyzing the dead sea scrolls?

Eh. I just jumped back into a project and felt kinda like a fish getting back into water.

did you not hear about her prodigious buttcheeks? Follow the thread.

Wait til this guy discovers that ‘Rock’ in song titles is usually code for fucking too.

seriously was coming in here to comment that this is one of the best comics I’ve seen here on lemmy

Prediction

maybe more like when they took away social media in nepal and they burned that fucker down

This comic is routinely terrible trash.

Sure it has every color but does it have our specific color?

I’ve worked with so many people like this, they are afraid of code (I used to be afraid of code too)

Worry that the US will become a North Korea-like Kim-ocracy with his shit offspring carrying on for him while he stays “eternal president”. Kim Il Sung has been dead for 30 years and we’re still dealing with his horrible crotch spawn.

even god is divisible

It’s okay I’m a private corporation.

He also does the things that many of them do. Trump isn’t the only (child) rapist predator, he’s just the most powerful one.

yeah now we have fetterman and oz is still in government.

“I was just living paycheck to paycheck” won’t be a valid defense either :P

Sure but it gets back to “Nobody wants to see anyone’s shit art”. No one wants to see anyone’s shit photos either. If it didn’t take like 5 minutes for a photo I bet most early photos would have been of tits, too. It doesn’t mean the tech can’t have a purpose and couldn’t be used in a flourishing, artistic way. It just means we need to do what we’ve always done and tell people with bad art to fuck off. :)

Yeah fair enough, I don’t disagree with you. I think for AI artists of the future it’ll be more about them asserting their subjectivity through the lens of each model (if that’s possible). Sort of in the same way that each camera has a character to it that is palpable across multiple people.

For example, take Adolf Hitler. He was a terrible artist. He had no understanding of proportion. His paintings don’t make logical sense. And you know what? That suits the man. Hitler was an idiot who couldn’t make logical sense of the world. His paintings reflect his terrible mind. There is that much value in them as an endeavour of self-expression. I can look at a painting by Hitler and say “that’s a Hitler”.

But I do disagree with this, though. Hitler may have been a terrible artist but he might be an equivalent artist in skill level to any number of other humans who might or might not have a “logical sense of the world”, “no understanding of proportion” etc. I don’t think Hitler’s art is good enough to even be able to tell anything about him other than that he doesn’t have an original voice yet.

I don’t think most (any?) AI artists have an original voice yet. Can they make one, even though the instrument makes most of (much of?) the music? I’m not bearish on the idea that humans can use this tool to make something useful I guess.

Any idiot with a pencil is an artist. The pencil only does what you tell it. You don’t have to work to make it yours.

I don’t like that we’ve settled here in defense of “human art” because that’s simply not true. No one, in the course of human history, has ever sat behind some kid doodling stupid pictures and clapped for them unless it was their mom. It’s a trope that real human artists are generally ignored through their lifetimes. Let’s stop pretending we’re all patrons of the arts and love everything that comes out of a person with a paint brush.

That said, you’re totally right, there’s 99% of people who don’t do shit with AI art, and don’t know what to do with it. There’s still an infinite capacity for a thing that makes whatever you can imagine to actually make something useful, I do truly believe that. If you haven’t seen “great AI art” it’s probably because there hasn’t been a great AI artist yet. Likening it back to photography, which was mostly a carnival trick and a thing for bored rich people, it took a long time before anyone ever identified a photographer who they thought actually showed them something that showed their subjectivity. We’re in the “old people staring at a camera looking bored” phase of this.
