A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The Patron Saint of Fuck AI
Just squirt out more "art," it's not like the original meant anything anyway
Once it’s through his digestive tract it’ll be more art than it was before.
Man is a hero,lol
Serious Chad move. Props to him!
As an artist and deep admirer of art I agree with how he explains AI's involvement in the artistic space.
No matter how great AI gets at mimicry. The major part of art, to me, is you see the emotions of another human being. Craft is important but secondary. To illicit a feeling is what transcends a piece.
I've seen works that gave such a strong sense of awe they were probably as close as I'll get to a religious experience of seeing a God. A force so string that it pulls you beyond your understanding of what it is to be human.
I have a piece I purchased made of clay that feels otherworldly and practically radiates those powerful feelings every time I stare at it. On the back are subtle thumbprints. AI will never scratch that feeling or leave marks of humanity.
right, even on the classic "tabloid newspaper misses the point" type art like neo-plasticism - where the point was to suggest that simple compositions of lines and squares are essentially the same thing as realistic portraits (in that they are both arranging shapes made of paint on the canvas) - has a message. AI art has none.
Dwyer tried to make art, but Grainger turned it into a movement.
No. Dwyer tried to laze his way into being an artist.
Grainger turned it into art.
Do the USA always arrest people and put them in a prison cell for a few hours/days? Even if the crime is some trivial property damage of $50 or whatever it costs to print 57 images? I feel where I'm from, police wouldn't really bother to get such a criminal in their car. They'd just charge them with property damage, write down their name and be done with it?!
The arrest and processing is your minimum punishment for being accused
No, it's weird that he was arrested for this, that is why there's multiple news stories about it
fucking based, bro is a real artist
Was he eating art, or was the eating art?
Joke's on him: you are what you eat
How does one put a price on stolen or destroyed "art"?
If the "artist" saved the prompt they can just crank out another one, down to the pixel.
I did a mashed-potato eating contest at a renaissance fair back in Georgia.
So good at troughing slop
