    I’m tired.

    Anyone can make art if they want. I’ll just keep saying it. Look at Hyperbole comics, Cyanide and Happiness, folk art—you already know the spiel. There are classist traditions in some art spaces but you don’t have to participate in them. We have outsider art. We have fringe subcultures and movements.

    I’ll be honest, it’s hard to tell if anything is a joke anymore. I thought Trump was a joke and he’s in the White House now… blame the autism.

    “Anarchist” lololol

    Yeah, using the corporate product that stole all individuals’ work to regurgitate abortions from billionaire oligarch’s algorithms is totally “anarchist.”

      Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.

      Obviously /s

      It’s like these mentally lazy ignorant people look all around themselves, see how the horizon is basically at the same distance all around them, therefore conclude that they must be the center of the universe, then sprinkle in a few fashionable internet soundbites and catchphrases to “make themselves sound interesting” and “with it”.

        There are rules. But rich people don’t have to follow them. It’s domination. Not anarchy/anarchism.

      Uhhh I will get downvoted but I have to say, anarchy capitalism is still anarchism. And obviously disrespecting property rights is a very anarchist thing to do, so.

      And many AI models you can run completely on your own hardware, no billionaire oligarchies have a say in what you do.

        anarchocapitalism is still anarchism

        Sounds more like people who want to have luxuries and comforts and money but don’t want to have anyone telling them what they can and can’t do.

        Sounds about right for the current fascist techbro community.

        Most anarcho-capitalists, especially the Curtis Yarvin types, just want fascism, but with Inc. at the end, and call their dictator “Chief Executive Officer”.

        The impact per work of AI vs, say, a set of pighair brushes is massively higher.

        Which is the fairest way of comparing them, per artwork.

          There’s probably a bigger impact when you consider how paint and brushes are manufactured and the fact that it’s most likely shipped here from other countries.

          It’s also laughable how little actual energy one picture takes to generate.

          It’s a non starter when you actual compare it to something physical. It’s like saying sending a normal letter is better for the environment then an email.

            The issue is the infrastructure and scale. Hundreds of thousands of these images are created every day.

            I don’t know your workflow but it usually takes quite a few iterations before someone gets the image they want. It’s the literal definition of inefficiency because its rebuilding the diffusion every time, be that from cached memory or a new vector path.

          Both of those things have a really small impact, to the point that it doesn’t matter. Generating one picture using AI takes like 30 seconds of your GPU running at full power. Besides, I don’t think that’s a fair comparison in the first place. Pighair brushes are not the main animal product people consume and generating something using AI models isn’t what’s using the majority of the energy but training the models is. The metric that’s actually important is what both industries as a whole are contributing to climate change, otherwise we can just keep picking examples that prove the other one wrong.

            Lololololololololol. No. Unless you have a massively expensive GPU, no. The image is not being generated by your device. It’s being generated by a mile wide server bank that churns through petrochemicals like a city all on its own. That’s the part of AI people are talking about when they reference it being bad for the environment. And if you do own a massively expensive GPU and generate AI images offline, you are not part of the conversation because your activities are an ounce in an ocean.

    I notice they used an actual photograph for their post… isn’t photography “traditional” artwork? Why not generate a person with weirdly smooth features, 6 and a half fingers on one hand, a pencil that looks vaguely like a bunch of dry spaghetti, and a sports team jersey with a garbled illegible logo? It’s so much faster, more accessible and less misogynistic.

      It truly does get hard to tell after a certain point, though. People get mentally fatigued when “it’s just a joke bro” has been said the millionth time. And when crazy awful oligarchs with too much money are backing that joke. I’m tired.

      Obviously. I mean, even when AI could not do fingers (and today they are mostly fine), you could simply recreate the picture until you had something usable.

      Having a picture like this and the over the top “negative/positive points” is done deliberately.

      I’m not sure, in its early days, generative AI slop was kind of promoted like that. Then anyone left of Margaret Thatcher rejected it, and almost only the Curtis Yarvin type techbros embraced it, so it slowly became the “anti-woke” alternative to real art.

    I asked an AI to draw me a group friends celebrating a birthday. The result was all blond white dudes. Then I asked it to make a diverse group of friends instead. The result was all black women.

      Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky now and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.

        Next up is music. It’ll start with jingles and the background music for commercials, then background music for movies and eventually most of the beats you hear on the radio will be made by AI.

        I think the industry will still want to have real singers, so they can still make money on concerts. But the AI will be writing a lot of the lyrics for many of the big pop hits.

        Your kids will be fed this garbage all throughout their childhood, and when they’re old enough to develop a critical sense they will just be used to it.

          I mean have you seen the slop the music industry is already putting out? Top 40 pop stars have been overproduced manufactured garbage for literal decades, what difference does it make if its one producer writing all the shitty samples and lyrics for 100 pop stars or if its AI. Real music will still exist and the true art will be confined to the fringes, as it already mostly is. Soulless music is soulless regardles of if its being made by a machine or a hack.
