It was an ok read for me, but mostly because I enjoyed the art rather than relating to the entirety of the sentiment.

I’m an artist and I find AI art evocative and illustrating things in a way that I wish that I could illustrate, but feel that is only because it comes from real human artists. I agree that it is a void in terms of difficulty to process, but there is still skill involved in both using search engines and describing something to an llm. A minute amount of skill, but still a skill.

I hate AI art because it is stealing from artists, not because it doesn’t feel right. It can have a million iterations and only needs to get it right once to count as feeling right to me. The relationship between the content and their artists to the ultimate product is removed, this to me is the wrongfulness of claiming new art from it. It is just stealing in a more wind-about manor. This isn’t like generating fractal art or something.

After all these years of corporations fucking up the literal social fabric and and how we communicate over IP law, for them to turn around and steal everything and just get a pass is an extra slap in face. Stealing only gets allowed2 one way in our society, and AI is just another example of that.

I’m honestly surprised to not see this take more from others and felt like i needed to mention it.

edit: emphasized that by making AI art taking skill, I only mean just a minute amount.

I kept trying to think of a name for that guy, and this sounds like the perfect name for him!

as a fellow artist that posts on lemmy, I see your work here often and I love it! You really flow with your work and it shows! You have made me laugh on many occasions, and I hope to produce more and share with lemmy because of your work. :)

My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind’s eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called “Faces of Death” and a movie called “Pink Flamingos”. Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn’t seem as bad as I remembered, but it’s not a great scene to have stuck in your head…

Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.

I heard they’re going on tour soon!

Good point! The word commodity isn’t the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that ‘I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist’s attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the “generated” art possible.’

please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.

These are great pieces, thanks for sharing. I encourage you to make more. Real human made art is a hot commodity!

I used to like that movie as a kid, but I’ve had a different perspective on it, and other films, since coming across this video about the “born sexy yesterday” trope

it’s an older video, but still relevant and edited very well.

Fuck Luc Besson, and fuck his creations (I don’t believe in separating the artist from the art).

“Read The Fucking Manual” (sometimes seen as “Read the Fscking Manual”) I remember saying it back in the day when I was annoyed that the answer could be found in the documentation while someone is asking others what something means, how it works, or having a common problem.

I now see it as quite pretentious of a reply and I now don’t reply if I can’t also be helpful.

I recently finished playing Breath of the Wild and declared it as one of my favorite games ever played. I just started Tears of the Kingdom, and it feels like I may not go back to BOTW, which is crazy that I could consider it one the best experiences ever, and also feel like I may never play it again so shortly after beating it. TotK seems to have everything in BotW and more, with quality of life changes on top of it all.

Bright green for unvisited, and light purple for visited. Everything on dark backgrounds. I love nightmode on every website, way nicer on the eyes.

As someone that always customizes their hyperlink colors, it took me a moment to remember that the default was blue and purple to get the joke. If it wasn’t for the other comments, I might still be confused.

I hate ai slop, but slop in a shitpost? im not sure how much i care. i expect a shitpost to be be shitty. there was more work in your shitpost than one of those communities that serve automated slop, so i won’t fault a shitposter for using ai here.
