We were talking about accessibility, and you still haven’t actually demonstrated how chatbots make art more accessible.
The fact is, they don’t. Anyone can make art.
Creating chairs isn’t accessible to your uncle because he just wants somewhere to sit. A chair is functional first, so, a chair must be able to serve that function. Not everyone can do that or have the tools to do that. There’s a firm limitation on access for making furniture.
Art isn’t functional like that, or if it is, function comes second. You don’t paint merely to create a picture, you paint to express yourself. The point of art isn’t merely the end product, it’s the journey of creation and the feeling of “I did that!” Everyone can do that and everyone can get the tools to do that, even if they aren’t good at it - and everyone can get better!
The question of accessibility is firmly against chatbots.
I wasn’t talking about accessibility, that’s just what you latched onto out of all of it. I’m not sure why, other than it being a part of the comment, but it was never the primary subject of the comment.
I’m not arguing. I’m expressing my internal responses.
I’m not trying to convince anyone, change any minds, and I’ve said so at least twice.
I’m just talking about the general subject matter. It applies to the OP concept, but isn’t exclusively so, or directed at that as a primary goal.
I mean, you get that it’s okay to be tangential, right? A post can be a springboard rather than the sole topic of discussion or expression. Hell, every response to a post is at least a tiny degree off since it’s filtered through a human brain before being responded to. It’s a matter of how far, or how broad.
The OP image even purely about accessibility of art, it includes capitalist motivations for ai generators, which I did directly address.
Not every comment has to be a debate. People can just talk, say their little thing and that be that.
Buildings and chairs can be artistic, obviously, but they are art second and they don’t even need to be artistic at all.
In contrast, art doesn’t even need to be functional to be art. Architecture and furniture without function aren’t actually architecture or furniture. In fact, once you take away function, art is the only thing that remains. After all, a chair no one can sit in or a building no one can enter may not be furniture or architecture, but they can still be sculptures.

That’s the primary subject of the OP! Did you even look at it or did you just jump into arguing?

So you’re just derailing the thread. Cool.
If that’s how you want to interpret it, feel free.
It’s annoying for you to derail a thread with tangents, but whatever, I’m not a mod.
But don’t fucking talk down to me because I was trying to stay on topic.
It’s pretty fucking obvious why I was talking about accessibility, because that’s what the thread is about.
I’m so fucking mad now holy shit.
Damn, certain historical artistic architects and furniture makers would strangle you with a 2×4 for that statement.
Imagine being that much if an art purist asshole.
