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.

Art is inherent in us. Just like the need to put boobs on mythical lizard creatures.

Drawing boobs is second only to the instinct to draw cocks.

If that Heavy Metal episode of South Park has taught me anything, it's that everything looks better with boobs.

“Nothing will stop real artists from making art.”

Exactly. AI images are not going to eliminate art. They just make it more difficult for artists to compete under capitalism.

The solution is to abandon capitalism. Not stop tech development.

Wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.

Relevant Oglaf (NSFW but not nearly as NSFW as this comic often gets): Dimorphism

i say this as nicely as I can, you dont need expensive and exploitative algorithms to make art. i dont really care if you say you cant make anything, put a pen to paper and draw. your terrible scribble has infinitely more value than anything a tech company's software can generate using stolen data. and after you crumple that up and throw it away, get another sheet of paper and do it again, and again, until your wrist snaps apart, and I guarantee you will not only have learned something about yourself but you will be more of an artist than any tech bro using chatgpt

People use AI for making “art” not because of their lack of ability to create art per se, but they use it rather as a way to cut costs in their commercial projects and skip contracting real artists. This is why it's malicious. I wouldn't care if somoeone uses it for pure, private leisure.

Archaeologists:

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Archaeologists will just call it a ritualistic artifact. Like they already do with every piece of ancient porn they find.

Around the 2000's a new pagan religion emerged, by the name of Furry. The believers of Furry followed human-animal hybrid spirits, often honoring them through depictions in the arts and even some costumes. A lot of these spirits might have been fertility gods.

Furries: "I would like to purchase this rock."

[–] Orangutanion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't purchase this without nipples at least

I've always been confused about this train of thought, because it seems to justify the opposite of what it's trying to say.

I mean, if the argument is people will use whatever garbage they have on hand to make art... presumably that includes generative AI? Look, I lived through four decades of people making art out of ASCII. My bar for acceptance for this stuff is really low. You give people a thing that makes pictures in any way and you'll get a) pictures of dicks and b) pictures of other things.

I don't think GenAI will kill human art for the same reasons I don't think AI art is even in competition with human art. I may be moved or impressed by a generated image, but it'll be for different reasons and in different scales than I'm... eh... moved and impressed by hot dragon rock lady here. Just like I can be impressed by the artistry in a photo but not for the same reasons I'm impressed by an oil painting. Different media, different forms of expression, different skill sets.

The future is approaching. When society will collapse a new Furry-Stone age will begin...
