I agree. Matter of fact; I agree so violently, that I can’t help but rage at what is rolling out within the AI space, and that the mere mention of AI annoys my day! It hurts to see art and media be the first thing to get brutalized in this way - because it’ll only become a norm, and then it’ll just be a lazy thing that gets farted out imperfectly… that we don’t pursue the joy and sacrifice of making our forms of art. It’s like the notion of having something think for us, which leaves us the freedom to not think at all.

Sorry, that is a damn long comment. I should have put it through Chat GPT and asked for it to shorten it.

Oh I love this comment. And totally agree. Of all the things to ruin, why art?

EXACTLY! Lately; I came across how AI is being used to view across X-rays, Cat scans and other medical procedures and point out cancers or developing cancers - cutting time out from doctors who would spend heaps of time looking for these things. That, right there, is a practical and wonderful execution of AI as an aid to humanity.

No, roll out the Gibli filter.

I sew clothes and am seeing a similar shifting of values towards handmade (despite the slightly uneven hems and imperfect buttonholes) and away from the soulless, prolific, imitation-driven, planet destroying force that is fast fashion. Love that there's a quiet rebellion going on in the form of traditionally female-associated, chronically undervalued crafts of pottery, drawing, textiles etc

OOH. That’s interesting.

I reckon there’s going to be an aesthetic backlash to perfection. Too many filters, too much symmetry. It’s just so dull.

This is a truly important piece in this latest revolution the world finds itself in. From society’s chaos comes great art. And with the market being flooded with so much AI, I’m wondering if there will soon be tested audiences getting challenged if a book was illustrated by humans or computer, much like how unknowing coffee drinkers were “Gotcha’d!” into admitting that the instant coffee they were just served wasn’t actually pure chemical shit from a butt. I think that while this AI snake creates opportunity for lots of companies, it will eventually eat its own tail and then the THUMBPRINTS WILL REIGN SUPREME! Cower at my opposable tool of greatness you robot fucks!

“You robot fucks” - hahahahhahahahahahahahhahaah.

Seriously though. Fuck anyone who was involved in this abomination. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Be less evil.
