In support of your comment; do you know how tired I am of "loss"?
Used to see Kilroy everywhere, too.

stamets goodbye thread
Got worried for a sec. Thought I'd missed Stamets saying goodbye somewhere.
The viewpoint you're responding to also disregards all the art made by elephants.
People are so desperate to hate on AI art that they will justify it a billion ways, but as an artist, let me tell you that art exists in nature. Art exists in a vacuum. Art can be found anywhere, made of anything, and it's not just the creator who imbues it with meaning. Ultimately, the lens through which the consumer is engaging the art is the final measure of it's meaning.
I wholly subscribe to the idea that it doesn't matter if an artist or an author or a musician meant to evoke a feeling- whatever feeling invoked is valid.
It's one thing for a bunch of people to say that AI art is meaningless because it's same-y or because it elicits no feeling in them or whatever. To dismiss the entirety of it because it had no connection to something as ephemeral as a human soul during it's creation is, at best, ignorant, and at worst, the kind of close-minded nonsense I'd expect from reactionaries who have no actual artistic experience.
To take it a step further- if a person has a reaction, any kind of reaction, to AI art, their feelings are not invalidated because of who or what generated that art.
db0 woke up today and chose violence again.
I keep screaming it and all the fucking liberals come out of the woodwork to shit on AI- they can virtue signal all they want but I survived on selling my art for years and me and all the other artists I know can't say it loud enough:
If you aren't paying for art now then why the fuck are you mad about AI "stealing jobs"? And if you don't make art for a living I promise you, no one is mad at not having to draw somebody's Sonic OC or latex fetish to live! Uncouple the need to sell art to live and people don't stop making art, they make more of what they want to make!!
AI gives the power to make things to people who can't. It doesn't take away my ability at all. Stop the capitalist system that enslaves artists, and we will make more, and better!
I wanted to be surprised that these people didn't do the least bit to protect themselves... but there was no surprise to be found.
100%. This is the writing on the wall.
Only went from pretending we were defending IP laws to claiming it was a joke when we weren't buying it.
"Why is Jeffrey Combs in every show?"
Don't equate pretending that Elon Musk is an anarchist is at all the same as defending IP laws.
Came to say this!
Thick, curly waist-length hair requires that I be in there. God help me if I want to do a second pass at it.
That is a very fun fact.
