    Then they're a pretty bad writer.

    Why are you looking for these very specific cases? If overall you're wrong, just accept the loss. I don't know how you can be satisfied with a win that relies upon unusual circumstances.

    They’re probably getting sued or fired then lol

    I do not get this incredibly bleak and depressing world AI people want to live in where art is just watered down gobbledegook spit out from a computer. It’s so depressing.

    People just want to live in the Matrix, man.

    You’re mistaking my point. I’m not pro AI. I sympathize with feeling that the eventual extreme is bleak & not something I want to see.

    But that doesn’t mean that this equation still makes sense to me:

    human input + use of technology = art

    To paraphrase something someone posted at me recently, you don't have to try to justify the things that people do if you yourself don't believe them.

    If you think that the future is bleak if we keep down this path, then you don't have to come up with reasons for people to stay on the path.

    I’m not trying to justify it. It’s truly how I feel.

    If a musician uses auto tune to change their voice, it’s fine. I love Bon Iver.

    If a photographer uses software to change their pictures, it’s fine. I love album covers.

    If someone who can’t paint or draw uses a screen printing machine, it’s fine. I love concert posters.

    lol we already said fuck off!

    but, to answer your question, I’m going off of this basic understanding.

    human prompt (input) + AI model = product.

    I meant how AI “creates”’ what you’re inputting but I don’t really want to keep discussing this so

    Same here. But for the record, yes. I know it just mass consumes human generated content after being “trained” and regurgitates impressions when prompted.
     
  13. is this post art then? i don't think so

    what if it was part of a larger “bit” though?

    Wait, do we have a “what is art?” type thread somewhere or something?

    I genuinely enjoy discussing this but don’t want to sacrifice this thread anymore.
     
  16. we can just do it in the politics thread so i can be rude about it
