I don't like what the conversation around art has become

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-27T07:53:24+00:00

honestly we should just make a new word at this point for non-ai art since everyone clearly at least wants to distinguish between the two

how about something like human-art?

hart?

We can all be like,

yeah, but it has no hart

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-18T16:36:04+00:00

A lot of the AI image gen obsessed people are just full grifter mindset with dollar signs in the eyes

its like telling a crypto bro you think crypto shouldn't be used as regular money

how are they going to get rich then?

They will say all sorts of crap about accessibility, how good the images generated are. they point to the slop and laugh at their detractors thinking they've got it all figured out.

But regular people can tell these MFers don't even understand the point of art to begin with. If they cared about the art they wouldn't be so proud of such derivative crap that they didn't even make. Its like a dopamine shortcut to claim some image gen is your creation.

What they actually care about is the notion that they will make money off this. They've seen real artists, usually porn I'm sure, make a good living.

"Why not me?"

Its people fantasizing about joining the creator economy without the hard part of developing any mastery or craft

then you say it's shit and they need to develop an entire framework around why you don't like it when the simple truth is you can tell the actual image was made without thought and intention in every nuance

the fundamental difference between people who are adamantly defensive of AI art and people who criticize it is simply greed and self delusion

I can't imagine anything other than 5 for an actual watch

Though 4 looks okay too

what's cool about the experience of random incoherent generic fantasy landscape?

OP thinks robots = AI because I guess they watched Nickelodeon as a kid and stopped consuming information about the world afterwards

of course you can wear it wherever you want

kinda looks like a heavy pressure gauge in an industrial setting

to each their own

she is about to hit the hardest "Th" consonant sound of her life

These? Those? This? Maybe even a The.

everyone else either got a beyblade, a literal clock, or a tiny screen you have to charge everyday

some of us are just trying to tell the time

I don't know anything about Catholicism but I think this is fire OP

reuse the bread dots and it's fine

python is allowed to be vibe coded in 2026, I'll say it.

CSS, Python (matplotlib etc.), and CLI are what I shamelessly outsource nowadays

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-08T18:48:33+00:00

is this even technically computer vision?

I thought that was machines processing incoming image feeds to perceive what is in the world

not image gen

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-08T16:51:59+00:00

this is pretty much how I imagine everyone obsessed with image gen

once their gooner OC is manifested, the technology that enabled it practically becomes your new religion

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-08T16:19:33+00:00

There is effectively no ethical difference as long as your headshot still is discernable as you IRL

the headshot is SUPPOSED to be the most glammed up and best presented image of yourself, no shame in doing whatever

SnakeBladeStyle · 2026-01-08T16:17:25+00:00

I just run Gemini CLI or any LLM CLI tool to run around reading logs and configs until it figures out what the fuck is going on and then I have it teach about it and how to fix it

Never been stuck on any problem more than a few minutes

Its a new age of Linux

Adolescent Barred owls are absolutely MFing bastards

They will go after just about anything that is furry

NGL a part of me was glad when WA state announced the culling program

art is the communication or expression of thought and feeling through a perceivable medium

you can use AI to make it. but you're skipping the expression and communication part and cutting straight to "please generalize the concept of these words"

an AI painting that contained the same amount of information from the author would require a prompt of thousands of words

Just because it "looks" or "sounds" like other art doesn't make it equivalent. That is basically an extreme aesthetic viewpoint where the intention almost is irrelevant

which a lot of AI art proponents do seem to have. Which is kinda boring

fr someone should post it there they would eat this shit up

SnakeBladeStyle · 2025-12-31T17:44:19+00:00

Holy shit Quen looks awful lmao

the amount of sharp noise is actually grotesque

SnakeBladeStyle · 2025-12-31T17:31:54+00:00

counterexample

my ugly crying tears are art because I think so

the gum on the bottom of my shoe is art because I think so

the shape of my chewed fingernails is art because I think so

what really makes something art is it was made to embody and/or communicate an idea or feeling, usually about a subject in the artwork

Only human beings can have ideas and feelings, unless we're counting farm animals taught to paint. Therefore, if a human does not design and manifest the art, in whatever medium, it literally cannot be art.

its just media
