A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I'm a digital chef, I prompt the dish I want into doordash and it shows up in my home in 45 minutes.

Hey, you forgot to say "using AI"

If you aren't using more water to process the transaction then you are to grow the food, then can you even call yourself a modern food delivery company?

5000 years later:

"And here we see a fertility figure, commonly worshipped in the late Microplastic era".

"And this one is the goddess of youthfulness in adults. According to remaining Tweets, while she looks like she's a 10 year old, she's actually a 9000 year old dragon, who chooses to have this form, and is actually able to give consent to sexual encounters, and is so promisculous she needs frequent corrections. This cult seems to be widely persecuted according to other tweets, in the form of what they called as "cancel culture", since many outsiders thought it would encourage the harm of actual children, and some participants of this cult unfortunately had such occurences."

Once our society collapses we will produce way less plastic.

By coincidence, a friend just posted this elsewhere:

"Nothing will stop real artists from making art."

I think this is kinda an empty sentiment. Nobody is trying to stop artists from making art. They're just trying to stop paying a lot of them for their art.

They didn’t claim anyone was trying to stop them from making art. In the context of the rest of the post, that is about how a lack of a specific tool or software won’t stop artists from creating art.

You’re spot on about them trying to stop paying people for art, though.

It's the one rock actually

If you really understand what your tools do (not how tools do it), you are a true professional (in this case, an artist). You use some tools to achieve a certain effect and you know what it will be like. AI "artists" don't know what AI will do for them in the next moment. At least something like that.

You could absolutely use AI to make art. Almost all AI content you find online isn't that though

There was a neat video where a math youtuber alternated the goal prompt for an AI image generator between two different sentences, while rearranging the pieces of the image, to generate images that were jigsaw puzzles that could be put together one way to make the image for the first prompt and a different way to make the image for the second. I think it was on Numberphile

Being good at prompting AI to generate art is like being good at using a search engine to find a specific picture.

~~Search engine~~ AI artists!

[–] [email protected] -4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You’re being facetious but searching is a skill too. A simple skill but still a skill.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Nobody said it wasn't a skill, just that it isn't the same thing as creating art. You know, the thing that artists do.
