Holding a pencil over a piece of paper don't make you a master of graphite on canvas.

But it does make you an artist.

The only reason you care about the wikipedia article you linked me is because it is a technical defense of the modern thing people are obviously pissed about.

So you're right, I don't really care; it has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

Well, it's a shame that chatgpt through sheer corporate momentum has completely erased whatever branch of artistic expression this is.

You should be pissed at Sam Altman for appropriating your culture.

People using AI also choose what they want to create.

No, they do not. That is, in fact, the point of having a decision engine make decisions for you. I would know, I've used it.

So collages are not art? Taking a picture of something not made by you is not art? Fan art is not art? Cover songs are not art?

None of these apply here. All of these are transformative.

You know what's interesting?

A collage made by a person? Yeah, that's art.

A collage made by my apple photo album? Nah, that's stupid. Don't really want to see it. I think it'd be weird if someone insisted I look at the collage their phone made.

You people never seem to grasp the personality and intimacy that makes art what it is. Yes, even when you flick your brush at a canvas like pollack.

So generative art is not art?

The public has largely decided that it's not. That's why it's controversial to use. Don't waste my time.

and any dissidence of though is quickly punished.

You're right, we should be more open. You want to do flat earth?

I'll start.

...Uh, what am I supposed to say here...

"I can not see the curve in the horizon."

People with cameras choose what they take photos of.

Dr. Moose, you can sneer all you want, but you're still on the Auschwitz train.

You realize that costing more does satiate the greed a little bit, right?

Like, yeah, we all know that line-goes-up capitalism isn't sustainable, but there are still other reasons call of duty has loot boxes and battle passes now.

We're still talking about ~3 mil to ~150 mil. If the software dev costs for Mario 64 were closer to ~1.5 mil, what does that have to do with the argument being made?

Why not?

I mean, I know she wouldn't. But seriously, think about it, why not? People wanted her to, so why not? People don't want milquetoast policy changes that improve such and such by 2%, they want a hero, so why not? People don't want palestinians to die, so why not?

She was either: an awful candidate because she wouldn't promise anything, or, an awful candidate because she couldn't promise anything.

And yeah, I wanted her to win, but the problems that fucked the last election up still plague the party. If they don't learn, we're all going straight to Trump's gulag.

Your genome also shapes your scoliosis, but I don't see anyone keeping you away from the whirligig inversion table.

Okay, account with three comments: what do you think the point of saying this was? How did saying this make someone's day better? Explain it to me.

If you think that Chuck Schumer selling us out to the Republican double-hitler funding bill this week isn't on some level indicative of the DNC putting a ball-gag in our mouth and bending us over, I really don't know what to tell you.

Man, what if we abolished copyright, but also banned gen AI completely. I think that would be the funniest answer.

It's friday and I'm going to have plenty of drinks, there will be no soda in sight.

Um... congratulations?

Human beings have a soul you can appeal to?
Not every single one, but enough.

Ha ha! We got this one for free!

To be fair, the nazis were pretty fucking stupid too. The evil-cool, machine-like, storm trooper aesthetic they're known for is cultivated, at least by a significant portion, by nazis overseas that wanted them to be likeable.

Some of it is cultural momentum, for sure. I also like Storm Troopers. But nazis really like Storm Troopers.
