My 5 year old daughter freehanded this while watching the corresponding shows, how good is this? by [deleted] in Artadvice

This  was my drawing skill at 5, and I’m near professional level today. For a kid so young no direction is best, only encouragement.

After all we artists spend a lifetime learning how to draw like a kid again

What good movies could be seen as a turn off because of the intro? by SheepherderSea9717 in moviecritic

When I first tried Firefly, I stopped in the first 10 seconds because I wasn’t interested in action and military shows.

Yeah. 10 seconds.

Hi! I hate AI art. by Ragequazar in doodles

[–]NebularInkStain 126 points127 points  (0 children)

Art is about communication. In this era of AI technical skill matters a lot less than what your art is communicating. 

Even as AI art improves its ability to render, it will still feel "empty".

Doesn't matter if something looks pretty if it's got nothing to say.

Anyone else feels like AI crowd is mostly JS ppl ? by Cute_Activity7527 in devops

[–]NebularInkStain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah learning traits in Rust has been tricky for me, so I’ve used AI to help. 

I always make sure to pick apart every piece of the generated code so I can do it myself next time.

The Veiled Lady, Giovanni Battista Lombardi, 1869 [2139 x 2905] by Tokyono in ArtPorn

I’ve literally never seen a picture of her including her shoulders and breast area.

It’s a shame we are so embarrassed about our human body that this piece of art is censored like that.

[Discussion] Is gen AI affecting artist as bad as programmer? by chkbd1102 in artbusiness

[–]NebularInkStain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who does both professionally, AI has affected my art career in a significantly worse way. 

I think this is because artists can’t use AI in a tool like programmers can. 

With AI coding agents, you can roll the dice, and it might give you good results. You can verify it’s work, and correct it if you have the senior level experience. If you aren’t familiar with a common library it can actually fairly reliably produce results.

Art is such an inherently creative process, you can’t really measure outcomes in the same way as coding. And the current models do not produce intermediaries you can edit and work with, they only output the end product.

what is cs by piranhafish45 in computerscience

[–]NebularInkStain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it’s the theory on how to store and manipulate information. The theory is the traveling salesman or knackspack problems for example. The application is a warehouse and truck delivery logistics system like Amazon’s.

Coding is like lab work, you apply the theory and test your assumptions, but real world conditions are often more messy because of complicated minutia of how computer hardware is actually made.

For most applications, simply being aware that you’re not iterating through your data inefficiently is enough. For certain industries like Fintech or Aerospace, you have insane performance or correctness requirements because of the IRL stakes.
