Did you really use AI for this?!
This looks more like MSPaint than AI.
Yeah looks to me like scaling artifacts from shrinking the image. AFAIK AI isn’t that consistent especially with high contrast shapes.
lol I just found it, I have no idea what was used to make it, why does it matter even?
Because Lemmy is full smash-the-looms luddite about AI art.
lol seems like it
God damn you’re salty and it’s awesome.
Thanks?
“AI” “art” which is neither
AI being appropriated for neural nets which might even do things unrelated to what we think of as intelligence is annoying, I’ll give you that.
What art is is kind of a huge can of worms, though. In any case, it’s pretty clear they can satisfy potential clients a lot better than human digital artists, and that’s where at least part of the butthurt comes from.

that’s true but i’m passing positive that if you asked a hundred thousand people to define art not a single one would say something like
[art is when an algorithm is able to] satisfy potential clients a lot better than human digital artists
Agreed. The point being that people aren’t really upset about whether it’s art or not. They’re mad about money.
And that’s not exactly dumb either, making bread is important. It’d just be nice if it was admitted to.
Good

Yes, it’s not a good argument totally unsupported. You can live in a society and still criticise it, if there’s no reasonable choice to do otherwise.
The thing is, I really like not having to weave my own clothes, or do whatever trade was made obsolete by all the technologies since. I’m guessing OP does too, and there’s no good reason to place a cutoff on that at 2020.
If OP thought things would genuinely be better if we went back to medieval tech, this would be a different, and actually much more interesting conversation. As it is, they just didn’t know the history.
Is this an assumption that my problem with AI art is its environmental impact followed by an insistence that I can’t be upset about that because the clothing industry is also bad for the environment and I wear clothes? Because if so that’s hilarious
No. The luddites were against the move away from manual weaving, and literally did break into factories to smash looms.
Ah, okay. I mean, they weren’t doing that for its own sake. It was about the impact the looms were having on workers. I’m not just a loom hater
Do you think the Luddites were wrong?
If we did what they wanted, I couldn’t afford the clothes I’m wearing. Or probably a lot of other things - shit tons has improved since the late 1700’s.
Sure, there’s less weaver jobs now, and there will be less digital artist jobs in the future. Arguably, the past few centuries have shown that if there’s other things that we can do instead, it’s still for the best. (If there’s not, a whole new conversation opens up)
As they say
Reduce, reuse, recycle!
especially for memes. lol
