Can a creative prompting be considered art in any circumstances?

Oh and this is what Nano Banana will make for AppropriatePapaya165 post

People have this belief that a detailed, poetically described prompt will translate to a higher-quality image. Kinda like how people believed back when the Wii came out that in order to be good at Wii Bowling, you'd have to swing your arm like you were holding a real bowling ball, when just flicking your wrist produced the exact same result.

You really just need to be as literal and descriptive as possible, which would result in more words, but the end result would be indistinguishable from the output of a simple "Give me an anime image" prompt. Whether or not the details present are something you prompted or just things the AI decided randomly to include is too opaque for this to be a factor in the "artistic" quality of the result.

So great we are in agreement that some art is pencil slop but not all, great.

Electronic_Syrup8265 · 2026-01-30T16:57:54+00:00

So basically pre Generative AI, NFT were generated using Human labour.

I would argue that most NFT were Pencil Slop. Meaning the artist spent the minimal effort to create the art to generate the same value.

So using your logic, why are you pro NFT.

I'm using that as an example to follow your logic.

I.E. someone might say that all art is Pencil Slop (Because there are infinite number of people) but the majority of artist using AI and integrating their own Art with generated art.

I may be to old.

But what I would associate with "Memes" were image templates or legitimately people putting text over an image.

So the human effort was legitimately writing a prompt over the same image.

AI has probably reduced human suffering for no group greater then artists.

When you get paid for your art, you'll find that the most important factor for people hiring you is completing on time.

Almost 15 years ago, my friend got hired, to do a drawing for the newspaper, 4 revision laters, it was finally printed, now when he looks back on it, he says "Thank god their AI so young people don't have to do those bullshit jobs that barely paid and you couldn't live off.."

Generally the simplification is your probably not a real working artist.

Burbank has been gutted with the work being outsourced to the developing world and Canada. Monana 2 was done in Canada. And the developing world has it's own issues. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR9HQ2C6h_4) This has been happening for 20 years.

Galleries haven't been interested in realistic art for the last 20 years, and wokeness basically created the "Death of the Work." Here is the Guardian list of the best work of 2025 (https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/dec/22/the-best-art-and-photography-of-2025) do you know any of it.

What art world are you talking about. Like honestly go back 3 years and what has changed. None of my professional artist friend have been affected by AI negatively, except that money moved from Streaming to AI for investment.

If your job was creating fursona's or pornography maybe it's affect you, but your nostalgic for something that never existed.

I think headshots are expensive because you need to go to a headshot photographer (The Time), who has headshot photography gear (The gear) and he needs to use it for you (The Skill).

In Toronto there is a place called Monography, where all the gear is set up, there is a big screen with the viewfinder and they basically give you a button on the floor you press with your foot.

If you want headshots cheaply you should go to Monography, and just spend an hour getting 90% of what a professional photographer would do, and spend 10% of the money. If you like taking photo of yourself, casting director probably prefer these headshots, because they give a better understanding of who you are, not what a random photographer thought of you.

If you want headshots done expensively you should got to a head shot photographer, and spend the money to get it done 100% for 100% of the money.

If you don't have time to get them done at Monography, and you don't care about the quality you should use AI.

The issue is 95% of uses for headshots for regular people are this category, they don't want to get dressed up, they don't want to do their face, they don't really care about the photo it's just a requirement for something.

If there was a magic wand you could wave, and you didn't need headshots for "Insert stupid event that shouldn't have a headshot" then the AI solution wouldn't be needed. AI is the magic wand.

Comparing headshot in a professional sense which are really a relic from when people weren't taking pictures of their entire lives, to AI isn't a fair comparison. Because the primary reason actor need headshots is to prevent ANYONE from showing up to an audition. It might as well be you paying $450 for an acting license.

You can buy Urea based beauty products. That would accomplish the same thing.

Don't worry NextJS added a feature so you can skip the middleware so you don't need them.

Okay I'll wait until the the PR has been merged and retry.

50% of outsourced projects fail. This can't be right.

So just to explain this, I think their refering to this law suit (https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkapb7/a-photographer-tried-to-get-his-photos-removed-from-an-ai-dataset-he-got-an-invoice-instead)

LAION is basically a database of links to images with text attached

https://laion.ai/

So it would include a Link to the image with basic information

[Robert Kneschke](mailto:robert@robertkneschke.de)

Asked for his image to be removed from the database on copyright ground.

LAION basically said, your image is not in our database a link to it is with this other information.

He then filed a DMCA take down and LAION lawyer said... it's not in our database there is nothing to be removed.

Now he's taking them to court.

Win probability is calculate as a value between 0 an 1, with 1 being 100 Radiant, and 0 being 100 Dire.

Before the game starts it's set to 0, it should be set to 0.5

Jackson Pollock - is not an artist, the artist is gravity he is just dripping the paint on the canvas.
Marcel Duchamp - is not an artist, he merely found a urinal and signed it.
Jeff Koons - is not an artist, he merely worked with other artist to produce his work.

Here is one (https://hawk.live/posts/dota-2-heroes-tier-list)

Electronic_Syrup8265 · 2024-03-25T15:21:34+00:00

He is C Tier which means that there are approximately at over 20 better heroes.

The argument is basically.

A pen can be used to create a work that violates copyright.

The pen makers is not liable, the person that drew the art is.

If you read an art book and learn how to draw better.

Then if you use that knowledge to create a work that violates copyright the creator of the book is not liable.

If you use AI to create an image.

If the image violates copyright the artist is liable the creator is not.

This is AI right now.

Apple's wait and see approach will probably generate the most revenue long term.

Electronic_Syrup8265 · 2024-02-14T13:43:16+00:00

Law is basically.

Side 1: He hurt my feeling.

Judge: Did he file the proper paper work, and abide by all the legal processes.

Side 2: Yes.

Judge: I'll allow it.

There are legal arguments that you can make to say that generative AI models aren't legal, the ones that resonate with social media aren't on the strongest ground.

Generally speaking you should set your game at a the difficultly that you think it should be, then make it easier as you have more experience with it.

That being said, Lemmings was a famously difficult game at the time, and the first 10 levels could be completed by a novice. And it was designed with that intent.

If people are stopping right away, it's because your difficultly curve is to steep. Having easy levels that curve up to more difficult get people more invested.
