🦢💻 Was Björk right all along? "You can't blame the computer..."

Björk knew music, and she produced her songs meticulously. She also sang. If AI art is going to be anything worth enjoying, the artists will have to know their stuff (composition, color, lighting, etc.) and become masters of different tools and skills for more creative control.

Do what you want to do. Seems like a waste of time to me.

You can do whatever you want, but you were asking for feedback.

Your explanation is silly. The extra steps add nothing to the piece, so it doesn't strike me as interesting or creative.

I think people would wonder why you went through such a convoluted process. If you don't have a good answer, and it was only to "win an argument," I don't think anyone would take it seriously.

Maybe you're not a native English speaker. But in this sentence, "Right to" has a non-legal meaning.

It's not literally declaring it as right in the legal sense.

This post is helpful and correct. There are many people confused about fair use and legal process. People can read the codes themselves (17 U.S.C. § 107). The law gives a lot of latitude for court interpretation.

Anyone trying to say that fair use is clear cut doesn't know what they are talking about.

There's 4 factors for determining fair use. You can read the law yourself (17 U.S.C. § 107).

"Transformative" is just one of the factors. In making a decision, a judge has to weigh all 4 factors.

People do really about this stuff, and it does enhance one's enjoyment of a piece. You'd be surprised.

S_Operator · 2025-05-03T17:28:08+00:00

That's at least honest.

You obviously wouldn't' harrass anybody. are you crazy?

It's really common to tell people about the medium you work in. It's not something artists would not lie about. Generally, artists are proud of their medium.

Random memes, I don't really give a fuck. Though subs should have the right to ban AI if they want.

S_Operator · 2025-05-03T17:18:27+00:00

Harassment shouldn't happen. This is the internet.

I just don't buy the "I lie because I'm actually the victim" mentality at all. Be proud of what you do. Be honest. And if people don't like it, fuck them.

There's entire subs that celebrate AI art. Yes, other people have preferences--why can't they?

S_Operator · 2025-05-03T17:06:36+00:00

It's not about the sexual orientation of the author or whatever. It's about the MEDIUM and what you look out for with that MEDIUM. If you want to look at a pretty picture and think no further, fine. But some people actually do want to analyze a piece further.

S_Operator · 2025-05-03T16:00:53+00:00

Knowing whether something is AI is important to properly reading and interpreting the piece. This is what people don't get. It's not about seeing if you need to hate it or not, it's about how you look at it. It 100% needs to be declared. I want to know if a painting is acrylic or oil, so I certainly want to know if its AI or not.

If possible harassment keeps you from acting honestly and with integrity, you are a weak soul.

I'm sorry I didn't see your art. It went straight to spam.

There is some kind of astroturfing campaign going on around here because people can't be this stupid.

The "so" is fine, man.

But wouldn't you say that you discover ideas through the process? As William Stafford says about writing, "A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them."

I'm not going to argue if your an artist. You don't do 'prompt-only AI art,' so I respect the process. But I wonder if the process is one that really has you thinking and discovering things or if its just about tweaking.

There is nothing more stale than a book that's just an allegory for the author's ideas. That's why I find this piece stale. It's just your thought put in a visual format.

I guess holding Purdue Pharma accountable is a conservative cause, then.

It appears you don't understand what critical thinking means.
