Just like video games don't make someone a school shooter, tiktok does not make people have ADHD. Both can exacerbate existing problems and people need to be aware of this and look at WHY kids in particular seem to spend a lot of time gaming / scrolling brainless videos. But the causes are more complex and inconvenient so society jumps on easy answers.

... is... is this loss?

Ask your parents to take you to a psychiatrist and have you tested for ADHD. Throw things at them until they say yes.

Ah yes, I should've figured.

Any explanation why the elk did that? (Other than "because he can", of course)

You may have seen it by now, but just in case: there's a bunch of us in the comments whose experience of their ADHD is exactly like yours :)

So, uh, hey, that's one aspect in which you AREN'T weird ;D

In German, it's "plastische Kunst". The adjective "plastisch" basically means "three dimensional", as in "not flat".

Plastische Chirurgie is plastic surgery - it's not primarily putting "plastic" into bodies ;) but sculpting a three dimensional form.

The thing, even with human-made art, is that what's "moving" is highly personal. Maybe accept that their experience is different from yours?

If that's the case, it's a language barrier thing. The equivalent to "plastic art" in my native language excludes paintings.

That presumes you can read the author's mind. It's impossible to tell with 100% certainty what an author meant to say. You can make assumptions and some can be more plausible than others and people can agree that one interpretation seems more valid than another but that's it. When a work of art is released into the world, the author has no authority over its meaning.

A good artist of course can make certain intentions very obvious and control, to a certain degree, what the recipient feels. That's what you're perceiving as missing in AI generated pictures.

Plastic arts is sculptures, three dimensional things like statues. Nothing to do with plastic, the material. It just so happens that 3D printing is a type of plastic art that uses types of plastic as its medium.

Exactly. I have no intention of selling my art and I object strongly to it being used by some company for their own profit. That's mine, wtf makes them think they can use it, regardless of its current monetisation status?

What difference does the medium make? The people who think AI pictures are good enough or even better than art made by humans will be perfectly fine with generating 3D models and printing them if they want any kind of sculpture.

Oh oh oh I know what that expression means! 😀 What bad movie did Penny watch then that made her angry?

The fuck are you on about? Where is any of this in your original post? What does it have to do with anything?

"Meme" is not another word for "joke".

Physical artists won't, especially those doing plastic art.

Why would they be safe with 3D printers being a thing?

Who uses the Death of the Author to justify media illiteracy? I think you may be misunderstanding what the term means?

When people say "the author is dead", what they mean is that, when interpreting a piece of art, it doesn't matter what the original artist meant to say with it - for the purpose of the interpretation they are dead and you cannot ask them what they meant.

It's always a personal matter what you see in art, any interpretation that makes sense to you is valid, even if it may not be what the artist intended. (That does not mean you can bullshit your way through poem analysis in school, different situation)

Edit: lolshit wall of text about ADHD of all things. Sorry!

Attention DEFICIT is a misleading term. It's more an issue of not being able to willingly direct your attention.

That's why ADHD brains hyperfixate on something and we're are unable to switch to something else, even though we KNOW we should/want to/have to do the other thing - we can't direct our attention away from the thing our brains are hyperfixating on.

What sometimes looks like rapid "task switching" is again the inability to direct our attention so it flips around uncontrolled.

This also often leads to a weird state of paralysis where we're doing absolutely fuck all because we can't activate our attention properly but we're yelling at ourselves on the inside to DO THE FUCKING THING YOU FUCKING LAZY SHIT.

For ADHD brains to be able to consciously, actively direct attention, there needs to be some immediate reward. It can't be some vague reward that might come in the future, like "you won't have back pain when you're old (so exercise!)". That doesn't work.

For me (and others, I hear), it's often the thought that others are depending on me doing The Thing. That's why I was absolutely insanely good at organising shit in my last job - my coworkers depended on me having prepared all kinds of data. Without this reward, I am completely useless at organising stuff.

Unless it's interesting, of course, which is again an immediate reward.

Does this sound in any way like you?

Edit: and did you have trouble directing your attention to get through this text? :D

"I am very self-reflected and think carefully about everything." (x_X)

If I said I'm good at switching tasks, that would be a total lie.
