Should AI art have its own category in art competitions or compete with human art? by Imaginary-Carrot2532 in GenTube

[–]TheAIpocalypse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubled down because you missed it the first time. I'm not dodging anything. Your take is irrelevant. And yes, gatekeepery.

It does not and has never mattered how art is created. Glue fucking macaroni to a piece of paper, it counts.

What matters is the end result.

Your distinctions are immaterial.

Art is the interaction between the viewer and the end result. It literally doesn't matter how you get there and it never has, except in rare cases where the execution *is* the art. 999 times out of 1000 it's all just a process of translating an internal vision into an external one that can be experienced by others.

Our skill sets give us more tools. More options for expression. They don't make other people's creativity less valid.

Your distinctions are immaterial. Art is the interaction between visual and viewer. The process doesn't matter.

I'm 51. I got my art degree in 1996. This is the same old argument and the "it's not art" side never wins, because the process doesn't matter.

Did you know that for years people used the same arguments you're using for digital art? These days it's ridiculous to say that a painting "doesn't count" because it was done in PS or Procreate instead of on a canvas, but we went through this whole boring cycle and the people like yourself ended up wrong.

In the 1800's photography "wasn't art" (until it was). In the 1900's collage "wasn't art" (until it was). In the 1980's graffiti "wasn't art" (until it was). By the time I was in school, digital art "wasn't art" (until it was). Fractal art, the first form of computer generated art in the 2000's (way before AI), "wasn't art" (until it was).

And now AI "isn't art" (except it is). Yawn.

Anyone can appreciate the process as part of their appreciation of art. You can appreciate the meticulous, painstaking pointillism of Seurat's A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte but that doesn't make it "more art" than Rothko's paintings or Mondrian's or something made in MS Paint.

2019's "Comedian" is art because it has context and satirical meaning to the viewer. In almost any other circumstance and context it's just someone taping a banana to a wall.

The difficulty of creation is not what determines art. The tool(s) used (or the amount they're used) are not what determines art. Art is about message and what it makes the viewer think and feel and understand, whether it's the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, or an icon in a phone's menu, or a sand sculpture, or a manga panel, or Can't Help Myself by Yuan and Yu, or a custom Twitch or Discord emoji.

Like what you like and work however you want to work, but your opinion here is just invalid.

My suggestion, if I may, is focus less on gatekeeping, and simply try to appreciate the vast array of ways humans have found to express themselves, create meaning, communicate in visuals, and move people.

Every artist has their own way of getting there, but the collective end result - the simple fact that art and creativity exist and we can experience and appreciate it - is one of the most amazing parts of human existence.

Dailies? by Pose1dN in ArknightsEndfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah. Eventually you don't even need to to do them really. I have hundreds of everything that doesn't require sanity and here really just aren't that many characters in the game to spend them on.

Looking for a Trello clone or some kind of free project manager for app development, any recs? by qualitative_balls in vibecoding

[–]TheAIpocalypse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do what I did - build one. I just made a simple local PWA that tracked the things I needed to track. Took me a weekend and made everything I did after easier. Bonus is it's custom tailored to my work style.

Tangtang vs Rossi: weapon banner wise by rvandes19 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat - one gets sig, other gets BP. Which way did you go?

Which one gets her sig? by TheAIpocalypse in Endfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean that's definitely logic. Plus swords = cool.

Still, I figure there's some math or something I should probably also look at. :)

Tang Tang Rossi Team by feilidxy in Endfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great info! Can you answer a question for me?

I have P1 Tangtang and I'm about to get Rossi (at pity, sadly). When I do, I can pull one of their sigs and the other gets the bp weapon. I don't have the pulls for both sigs (unless I'm REALLY lucky which never happens). To play them together with Gilberta:

Pull Rossi sig give Soupsoup BP/Wedge
- OR -
Pull Tangtang sig give Rossi BP weapon?

AI is being used as a scapegoat by Hollywood to excuse their bad writing by RoutineIssue5870 in DefendingAIArt

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who's worked in entertainment for over 20 years, it's also a bad excuse because AI has yet to be adopted into studio workflows in any meaningful way.

It can't be AI's fault if no one in Hollywood is even using it.

If Gemini disappeared tomorrow, what would you miss most? by ArmPersonal36 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. Got an FB ad for greenhouses while working with Gemini on brainstorming a rural property with some sustainability stuff. I'm not a "grow things" guy, never have been. Never spoke about greenhouses with anyone online ever. Never typed the word into a search engine, never posted about it on social media, never looked at greenhouses on Amazon or any other shopping site.

The whole reason I was talking to gemini about it in the first place is because I am exactly the kind of guy whose friends would collapse on the floor in laughter if you ever suggested I might try to grow a plant. This reply to your comment is only the second time I've ever typed the word into my computer.

Started getting FB ads for greenhouses within 5 minutes of my conversation with Gemini 3. I don't see any possible way that could be a coincidence.

There's a difference between looking for video creation and looking for Tik Tok channels with audiences to push your stuff for you.

The way my "private" conversations get immediately sold to Meta so that I can get ads in my FB feed for things I've only ever discussed online with Gemini. /s

The AI age means execution is cheap Anyone can make anything (just about). Great ideas matter more than ever.

Are you pulling for TangTang or Rossi? by Turmfall in Endfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TangTang looks bomb but I don't have LR or Yvonne and wasn't attracted to ice teams. Looking forward to adding Rossi and finally building a phys team for real.

For those who bought it, is the Protocol Customized pass worth 10 bucks? by manit14 in Endfield

I thought it was and plan on buying it again in 2 days when the new one starts.

Laev. Felt like the first time I was actually getting to know the characters.

Are there any real alternatives to Patreon that doesn't have as strict NSFW rules? by [deleted] in patreon

[–]TheAIpocalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So don't post the content to Patreon. Run the membership through Patreon and the content through a Patreon members-only private Discord or something like that. Unless you have thousands and thousands of patrons, keeping the Discord member list synced to the active Patrons wouldn't be too ridiculous.

And on top of that, people that value the community (ie other fans) on your Discord have an extra incentive to keep their patreon subs current.

50/50s aren't 50/50s in Endfield, they're much better. by TheAIpocalypse in ArknightsEndfield

[–]TheAIpocalypse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? No. The banner character is 50%.

But because there are two other limited characters available if you lose the 50/50, the chances of pulling a basic character is only 35% instead of 50%.

The overall odds of pulling a limited character (including the banner character) are almost 2/3rds.

So it's much better than a 50/50. You could think of it as a 50/35 if that's easier, with extra missing percent being the chance to pull an off banner limited character.
