by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn’t make something art

i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too

the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn’t make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow

it’s not AI “art” itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI “art” itself it’s about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it’s not art, because it’s not individual pieces that “make us think” – it’s the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can’t be bothered to engage with art at all.

sure it does make you think, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

i’m reading enough into your comment. i literally explained why that wouldn’t change much

never mind a canvas, if the guy cared in the slightest about the “art” AI made he’d at least print it on poster paper

this experiment shows how even the “artists” just do not care about those images, and why would they? why would any of us care?

this shows exactly the core of the issue - every piece of art made by a human, no matter how good or bad (whatever that means), is a reflection of the artist. Sometimes they pour their entire soul into a piece, sometimes just a small part of them, but it’s always a reflection of them. So the artist will care about what they’ve made because it’s their own self, in a way. And others will care about it too, because we crave to get to know others, understand them, see the world how they see it - and art allows us to glimpse just that.

AI slop elicits none of those emotions, there is no artist to care about, no reflection of the self, no worldview to glimpse, no way of caring about it, nothing – even if it was you who wrote the prompt, you just can’t bring yourself to give a shit

wow, it seems like it’s printed on printer quality paper. really amplifies how those who use AI for “art” don’t give a flying fuck about art

i thought it was just a thicc ass orca, added an eye to show my vision

i could tell you that without burning through a litre of water

i’m way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don’t even know what i’d use them for

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

i’m next in queue

fair enough

because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me

where /s?

i agree SatansMaggotyCumFart, consent is very important

bro, if we could edit the genes of foods to make them grow into huge sizes, i think we would hear from some scientific source that that’s now a possibility

to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -

if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in

honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly

recently i found a comedian who does sketches that give me strong llamas with hats vibes.

she has a youtube channel, instagram, and tiktok so pick your poison - It’s a me, Silvia

here’s a link to the one sketch that just radiates with Carl’s energy

on one hand if you take the character of jesus as an individual with opinions he was very based

but on the other hand in the context of the bible - he is the incarnation-ish-thingy of the one who created and perpetuates a binary system of good and evil, and as a narcissistic judge, jury, and executioner to him being “good” includes in major part worshipping him and only him. which is not very based

so i pick hell out of spite
