Look at the Words on the Slop, it is Not Even Close (Art by Kelly McKernan) : fuck

The oddest thing is that a lot of ai people seem to fail that understanding that not every piece from an artist is their best work. Sometimes it is a casual fun drawing to e.g. join a trend.

That is the only way the "better" ai version shit makes sense. The perspective that every piece needs to have a "clean" style and preferably photorealistic. And obviously photorealistic or "clean" Styles require attention to detail and a more serious commitment to the piece.

I have always loved art, and one of my favourite pieces is Nu descendant un escalier n° 2, because it represents an artist struggling to come to terms with ideas like photography, moving pictures, quantum physics in their early days, while trying to both show and hide the humanity being depicted

AI has none of that. AI doesn't even have the soul of a child's doodle pinned to the fridge.

I think there's an angle for people who wish they could take part in the good drawing too.

It's like that kid in school that would trace a really good drawing and then change the color a bit and say they did it themselves, but for adults. 'Aren't you happy i made it better?' Just equates to me as 'i want attention for the art too'

The sad part of course being that instead of even having the guile to pick up a utensil and trace it themselves, they just copy paste it to a program and become a middle man for downloading and uploading an image.

Setting aside the 'soul' of the drawing or how it appears visually, it's just sad to watch someone make a cheap facsimile of the thing you made at the cost of a few mouse clicks and making the climate a tiny bit worse.

All that just for 'siel'

There’s joy and personality in imperfection.

They were just trolling her, sadly. That's all they needed to prove. That it would get her reaction

Thanks for the two new artists to follow on Bsky OP. Been slowly switching over because I don't use either this or Twitter much, but it's kind of needed when you follow furry art and stuff.

Look at the posts in [email protected], most of them are from bluesky.

Let me know if you want the ones I follow.

This trend just yells peak capitalism to me. What are people meaning by posting themselves as toys, are they finding it fun to he seen as collectibles, consumer products? Out of every setting one could picture themselves, this is what they enjoy? Being broken down to their marketable parts?

"what is your personal brand?" type sociopaths. Overall it's emphasis on reduction of a human into 2 or 3 recognizable consumer groups or products or traits.

oh wow, so that's what it looks like... when the "I'm a totally unique individual who can't be labeled" youth dies, and is replaced by "nope I was wrong, this is my label, these are my products".

Ah yes a bottle of ABRE BARD (?) and a book of SıEL my favourite :3

I thought the AI pic was an action figure made from the drawing at first...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Thats kinda what I thought at first. Now I am laying in bed wanting an action figure of myself. A small Tungsten5, maybe call him Tungsten3 since he would be tiny (compared to me, but will still have back muscles bigger than your mom). I bet someone could make some decent money selling custom action figured of their customers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 17 hours ago

Lots of people do that, custom action figures made on demand are very much a thing.

it sucks and lacks any personality 🤔

[+] [email protected] -8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

There are tons of problems with AI.

This drawing "lacking personality" is not one of them. And if I were to choose which one I like most, it would be the right one. The left looks too smudged.

This is my opinion as an artist myself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago

The left one looks like all AI slop does: soulless. The same font every time, the same expression every time, the same pencil strokes every time. It looks shit.

Fuck AI
