I have been referring to LLMs and image generators as "Plagiarism Engines" for some time. Even SI seems too generous.

fair enough, i guess it depends on how fast you call back

at least it wouldn’t wet your socks. i think capillary action relies on surface tension

probably moving on to the next task in my to do list. my phone is not attached to my hand

This is fundamentally different, though. I remember when some reactionaries thought digital instruments somehow invalidated the work. But Daft Punk were still people. They took human ideas and transformed them into reality, creating something new. Buttons and knobs can be instruments in the hands of an artist. With AI, it is the plagiarism engine that is doing the creation. Tape two AIs together and they can create “art” all day. None of it will be anything more than a sad imitation of what humans made.

There is a limit, of course. If someone paints a huge mural with a single hair brush, it doesn’t automatically make it better than a 2-minute sketch by a master. Aesthetics are huge, and so is creativity.

The effort involved is also sometimes behind-the-scenes: for the 2min sketch, the master prepared by honing their art for thousands of hours.

I agree with you that AI images often lack aesthetics, and i believe they necessarily lack creativity. Prompts can be inventive, but not creative - when you write a clever prompt, the result is still a surprise to the user. Creativity is the realization of an inner vision unique to the artist.

But i still think the effort is important to the value of the piece. If Michaelangelo had a scanner and a 3d printer, he could have produced a plastic David in a couple of days. I don’t believe, though, that the detail he achieved would be as impressive if it weren’t cut from a chunk of stone.

thanks!

I said this in another thread, but i think that a lot of the value of art comes from the effort. That’s why people get so upset about some modern and postmodern art that looks ‘easy’.

Many things that we do are only worthwhile because of the difficulty. If you just want to put a ball in a hole, you can walk over and drop it in with your hand. Add clubs, sand and water traps, and terrain - now you have a game.

Nope, it reflects my views as well! :)

The guy who killed himself, did nothing wrong, and never existed?

Bondi said in a hidden camera recording that there were videos depicting CSA among the files - the supposed blackmail material. Now that material is in the possession of Trump et al. If they publish the videos, they become useless as blackmail material.

For tumblr, that username is cute. For LinkedIn, it would be brilliant.

That was America BT (before Trump). America TE is like a whole new country. They get a reset.

Just don’t cave. Once you start down the bitch path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Always remember: TACO.

NGL, this is hot.

Well that's ok, Donny LOVES fraud.

Trump is like darth vader without the skills, charm, cool suit, nice voice, brains, and epic backstory.

“i am altering the deal…”

Now, you don't have to:

Bring it, bitch.

I will never visit the us again. i cancelled netflix, prime, apple music. i use crave, cbc gem, and qobuz now. i installed ubuntu on my old surface pro and it works beautifully. switched to libre office. my next phone will be a fairphone.

when i go to the grocery store, if an item i want is a product of the usa, i eat something else.

That’s it. We found the most 21st century thing ever:

A GoFundMe for a political assassination.
