I miss the era of the internet with random games on every website

  • Like, the online hellscape of endless Flash applets and browser shovelware games is retro now?

    The next balatro (at least in terms of game being played into the ground by Northernlion) is nubby's number factory.

    Almost every asset has a gradient, or is a low poly model.

    EDIT : Overwhelmingly Positive (4,480 reviews)

    2000s are back baby. The only thing that sucks is that I don't feel 90s retro really took off, the 80s just had a double helping.

  • It's a gambit, he sacrificed himself for us, but the compensation is saving everyone from sin.

    Although the way humans are playing, it's dubious compensation.

  • They paint nothing but enter painter’s competitions.

    Yeah, so that's a stupid thing that individual humans are doing. If you "hand made" a 3d model in Blender and printed it out and submitted it to a painting competition, you are not doing something right.

    You get credit for the things you do, and not for the things you don’t.

    So the banana guy doesn't get credit for making the piece. what did they actually do then? This is my point: Either the banana guy is doing nothing and getting paid shitloads, in which case, not art, (lots of ) humans make trash, here's an example, which means the AI guy is also not an artist, so fine.

    Or Banana guy is an artist because he came up with the concept and is an artist, and so is the AI guy because he also came up with the concept.

    I'm fine with either. I'm not fine with "banana guy is an artist, AI guy is not"

  • the vast majority of human art lacks the real nuance and emotional impact real art carries.

    It by-definition does not. The fact that you can’t see this I think makes you an inhuman monster.

    The top 40 charts of music? 35 out of the 40 are pure crap, manufactured by people that are playing it by the numbers based on market studies, all in the pursuit of money. Now on top of that, imagine the majority of amateur fluff that people produce that are just low quality, or things that people make that aren't full of gravitas, nuance and actually emotionally impactful.

  • No man, that doesn't mean that. I'm saying the artist for the banana piece is depending on the curator to do the actual creation of the piece, just like the guy writing the prompts for the AI is depending on the AI to create the piece.

  • What’s the excuse of the banana guy for making a shitty piece with no effort?

    You’re talking like there’s some rule about the effort required in order for something to qualify as “art,” as if the time-saving aspect of AI-generation is what disqualifies its images. That’s not how art works, and that’s not the issue with AI.

    The banana art resembles something made by someone who has no hand-eye coordination or technical skill required to make visual art, and also lacks the passion and training that allows them to connect emotionally with an audience.

    And unless the human takes great control in the generation of that image, other humans may feel something lacking in the result. At best, AI art resembles something made by someone who has the hand-eye coordination and technical skill required to make visual art, but who lacks the passion and training that allows them to connect emotionally with an audience.

    Yeah, and that's because the people using AI art generators are just expressing base shitty things, and the AI haters don't see the pieces with effort put into them. This also goes against your other statement of

    The message might be, “Fuck your idea of art,” but that’s still a message being sent from one human to other humans, through the medium of art.

    An AI can’t do that. An AI can’t understand the emotions underlying the concept of protest art.

    AI art can do that, since it's still a human generating the message in the end.

    EDIT : Can you meaningfully differenciate between a person writing a "plan" for a curator to tape a banana to a wall , and a person writing a "prompt" for a computer to generate an image that has a certain composition, lighting, colour, etc?

  • A human uses art to satirize the way other humans use art. A message is being conveyed. The message might be, “Fuck your idea of art,” but that’s still a message being sent from one human to other humans, through the medium of art.

    An AI can’t do that. An AI can’t understand the emotions underlying the concept of protest art.

    The AI art doesn't appear out of nothing. Someone sets the actual content of the art in motion, and it's not the fault of the AI that the stupid human controlling it typed in "big titty goth gf" instead of something that illustrates a better concept.
