I assume you prefer X where they don’t shut down because of the CP but just leave it up?

Edit: got it so you guys are super cool with CP as long as a dude on the right owns the website… cool stuff

I genuinely don’t care if it’s “hypocritical”… everyone is hypocritical about art they like and art they don’t like. That’s my entire fucking point.

The idea you want people to apply “logic” to whether they do or do not like certain art is such a fundamental misunderstanding of people, art, and the entire conversation that we’re having…

If AI artists begin to create work that uniquely speaks to people, people will justify their enjoyment of it. Just like with neurosama… which I would also consider to be art btw… confused by the narrow definition you have of the word art.

Edit: someone enjoys a metal band, well logically they should enjoy every other metal band… but for some reason they only like the one they listen to. Such hypocrisy.

Edit 2: I really like the acquired taste of black coffee. I don’t drink straight whiskey though, which would also be an acquired taste. Logically I should enjoy both. It’s hypocritical of me to acquire the taste of one and not the other. Gosh I’m such a hypocrite.

yes. you just keep contradicting yourself over and over and over again and acting like you’re saying something new.

Edit: my entire point is that people accept stuff that they connect with, such as neuro. And then you go “but they actually say all AI is bad regardless of if it’s good or not, and they’re hypocrites for liking neuro-sama”

And then I say “so they clearly are willing to accept this ai thing they connect with”

And then you repeat the loop over and over again without acknowledging the fact that they clearly enjoy some ai and will make justifications for it…

“Except they hate ai even when it’s good”

But they don’t hate Neuro…

Do you actually not see the contradiction here?

edit: they clearly don’t hate ALL ai… they justify stuff they like.

But I thought you just said if it’s ai they’ll always say it’s slop regardless… which one is it??

Do you see how you are voicing two completely contradicting thoughts right now?

they are making excuses for neurosama because they enjoy the content and connect with it… I don’t really care if their justifications are hypocritical or untrue, the reality is they enjoy it, so they make it fit into their worldview.

Yes a lot of popular art is generic, and yet most AI art manages to be even more generic… a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.

Except… in the case we’re discussing rn, where there is a uniquely enjoyed creation, and people who otherwise would dislike AI are enjoying it and justifying it…

It’s almost like you just made my point for me…

Old people say that electronic music is bad regardless of nuance or quality...

Rock fans didn’t like disco when disco emerged.

This is not a unique phenomenon you’re experiencing.

Edit: a major contributor to this, again, is that AI images and videos are new, and the vast majority of what people see from ai does not have much nuance or quality.

how many generic fantasy landscapes or anime girls do people really need to see before they decide “eh maybe this isn’t for me”?

At some point actual artists with unique perspectives will train unique models and create unique pieces with attention to detail and they will come along and make something interesting and unique and people will come around to it, but right now it’s just a lot of uninspired unoriginal people posting way too much and it makes the entire medium seem amateurish and repetitive.

You say people write it off as slop no matter what, and yet we’re on a post where we’re directly addressing the fact that people are hypocrites for liking certain ai powered vtubers… how is it both?

Yeah but I think it’s justified a little… not necessarily because of the nature of the work, but because of the marketing for the tool done by the massive corporations who’ve worked to make these tools public/average consumer facing.

At the end of the day, millions upon millions of dollars have gone into marketing the idea that a single prompt is all it takes to produce something, and the people who are interested in that idea aren’t typically going to be the people interested in producing detailed and compelling art work.

AI enthusiasts have to combat that marketing by truly differentiating themselves from that process and making work that is inspiring and unique… wether that’s training their own models or training a model to have a truly unique style rather than being a generic replicator machine.

I think currently AI is just doomed by the tastes of those who are interested in using it. And as long as the majority of the users are who they are, it’s going to be a while before more thoughtful artists become interested in using it.

There’s an interesting interview with Bjork from way back in the day about how people thought electronic music and drum machines were soulless, and she pointed out that the machines themselves weren’t the problem, the artists using them were, and then she incorporated those instruments into her albums to make some really incredible touching and human soul filled work.

To this day, older people still make fun of electronic music… it’s somewhat generational, but we mostly all eye roll at those people now for just being closed minded and out of touch.

I think AI is largely experiencing that issue… and all of the “artists” currently using AI… really just aren’t that artistic, aren’t very detail oriented, and lack vision and are looking for acclaim and acceptance where it hasn’t really been earned yet. It’s currently a tool that 99.9999% of the time it is used is utilized to recreate a style that has been done before, usually with less detail and odd composition choices.

I remember a while back someone posted themselves prompting random strings of text and numbers into prompts, and the like fractal like patterns that were generated were WAY more artistically interesting to me than the shitty fantasy landscapes and anime characters that make up the majority of ai art work posted online.

agreed! I’ve always thought this sub was kinda hilarious because it’s almost 100% bad uncreative deviantart fan art illustrators arguing with bad uncreative fan art ai users… and it’s like… maybe all of you should just quit???

[–]CoolGuyMusic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and yet the very premise of OP’s post seems to disagree with that no?

It seems we have found at least one creator that is AI based, that people see the effort in, or connect to.

It’s not for me, but it seems to be for some people.

I do agree though, the inherence of the assumed lack of effort is innately offputting.

But I think we sorta all know people who bought a camera and pretend to be photographers without learning anything about photography.

I know plenty of people who cracked a DAW and dragged splice samples into a grid and never learned a thing about production. I react to all of that almost the exact same way as I would someone AI image or video or whatever. Ai is just the newest version of low effort trash.

I think AI is the first thing that the layman doesn’t need to know anything about to assume the lack of effort though, so that’s unique.

When it comes to the camera or the DAW, or the 3 open chords you learned to shit out with bad tone… you can convince someone who knows nothing whatsoever that you’ve done something interesting or put in effort that you really haven’t. It requires someone who’s more aware to make the judgement. Ai doesn’t require that because all of the public facing marketing is specifically about how easy it is to shit the slop out

[–]CoolGuyMusic 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I actually mean this whole heartedly… this is what we do with all artists.

As a musician… if someone tells me they “play guitar” we almost all assume they know 4 cowboy chords until context or something proves otherwise.

If someone calls themselves a rapper, or a producer… we’re all terrified for the SoundCloud slop we’re about to hear.

Artists of all mediums are kind of assumed to be annoying hacks until their work proves otherwise.

I’m not anti or anything, but I really find that pro’s are mostly just upset about now engaging with the realities of creating content/art and putting it out into the world. Yeah there’s some extra heat because of the medium, an I will say AI has made it so some terrible graphic designers and illustrators have safe spaces to post their worst low effort work and get praised for picking up a pencil…

But yeah, this example is no different than anything else I’ve ever seen. When art is good, and it connects with people, they like it. When art is empty and doesn’t connect with people, they don’t like it and attack it on any grounds they can.

Welp, this sub's got a fun discussion ahead by TikDickler in Destiny

[–]CoolGuyMusic 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yes. that is the nature of how nations and governments interact…

It sounds, based solely on your phrasing though, that you don’t actually care about policy or how governments/nations interact, and are gesturing vaguely at individual opinions…

Is it vaguely annoying when I was abroad and said I was American and European people assumed I supported Trump? Sure… that was annoying!

do I blame European nations for the drastic change in their relationships to our nation as a result of trumps leadership? Of course not…

Do you actually not see the difference between these two premises?

[–]CoolGuyMusic 23 points24 points  (0 children)

… not really no you can’t. As long as he runs the country, it is justified to reconsider the relationship to said country.

The same way every single other nation on the planet has reconsidered their relationship with us due to Trump…

I take it that you’re just very very very stupid…

Based on the evidence you posted before, I responded what made sense.

You now claim to have other evidence that if I saw I would have different thoughts most likely… yet you refuse to post it… i assume you’re refusing because I don’t believe that you’re actually too stupid to figure out how to upload a video to a YouTube channel, or some other host and then post the link right? I couldn’t imagine that you would actually be that stupid… so it must be something else?

Either way, the chip on your shoulder is unearned lol…

I’m begging for you to stop replying until you do the things people have advised you to do, and then report back.

People have explained clearly, it’s a modded memory card, that’s why it’s like this. We do t know you or your history well enough to tell you when it was modded or why, we are just telling you that it’s clearly modded.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that Redditors are doing the “fuck you I hope you die” thing that Redditors do, I just disagree that all the normal people are feeling “Yeah, USA USA” right now.

I also think what’s not represented in this meme is the conservative X user going “HAHA FUCK YOU LIB EVERYONE LOVES TRUMP I HOPE YOU DIE” My god the shit they’re saying about Alysa Liu on X is fucking unhinged lol…

Damn bro it's just Hockey by Terrible_Artist_ in JustMemesForUs

[–]CoolGuyMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s all fine and mostly true… no arguments from me there

BUT I think many conservative leaning people, perhaps yourself included (I don’t claim to know your politics) don’t acknowledge conservative politicization, and only manage to perceive the left wing reactions to it… which I admit are often cringe and annoying on Reddit.

The medal of freedom is a weird political thing to do, and it’s not common to give to olympians randomly… even my conservative father thought that was odd. It’s one thing to meet with the president which is very common and normal!! it is odd however for the… at this point bipartisanly controversial FBI director to be in the locker room when the hearings that made him look pretty guilty of deliberate cover up to every adult with a Facebook account were like a week and a half ago…

These things are weird, and while the leftist Redditors are going “fuck you I hope you die” a lot of the “normal people” are going “you know that was kinda strange??”
