a language might be a tool we use, but it absolutely shapes the way we see the world itself to a significant degree, even to the point where speakers of different languages might disagree on basic physical facts

eg: if you ask an english speaker how many fingers they have - they’ll answer 10. but if you answer a polish speaker - they’ll answer 20. polish makes little linguistic distinction between fingers, and how we call them, foot fingers

this is one example of many. i find it deeply fascinating and quite scary. it feels weird to realise that my understanding of the world is broadened and structured better thanks to the fact i use a language to describe it, but there might be things i’ll never notice, or will always confuse, simply because the tool i use is not perfect, and yet, that is the basis through which i perceive the world

i’m european though

i’m 3.5

similar tone

the same way racism ended in 1964?

big difference between someone using a tool to polish an already complete piece of music and someone using a tool to make a piece of music for them

any and all UI changes will make people angry

steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless

doesn’t seem like any polish food to me but perhaps i’m uncultured (i’m polish, but bad at it), more like a freestyle beef wellington

but it feels to me like Aziraphael would have a panic attack of Crowley started bratting to him. i couldddd see a soft dom potential but a fragile one

no way, Aziraphale is definitely the bottom, he wouldn’t be able to top to save the world (except that one time when he terrified everyone in hell)

I’d like to purchase some PORNOGRAPHY :)

it doesn’t know what it was doing, it just writes something vaguely plausible

am i AI?

do you think workers got rights by asking nicely?

if factories didn’t get set on fire with the owner inside people would still be breaking their backs working 16h a day in conditions that shorten their lives by a year every month spent working, every day going deeper in dept to the company store. Oh and they asked for better conditions, they protested, they demanded, they went on strikes, but there was no way out.

violance isn’t the answer - violance is what happens when you take away someon’s hope. And this is not a new relevation:

Sun Tzu said ‘When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard’

because a desperate, hopeless foe will fight to the death

this didn’t happen because of computers, this style just got popularised faster through them - like pretty much everything else. breaking the rules to create a specific style is just a thing prople do

some people point to e.e. cummings but tbf, even without him we’d start typing like that eventually. it’s normal to want to fuck with the rules and make it a style

by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn’t make something art

i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too

the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn’t make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow

it’s not AI “art” itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI “art” itself it’s about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it’s not art, because it’s not individual pieces that “make us think” – it’s the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can’t be bothered to engage with art at all.

sure it does make you think, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

i’m reading enough into your comment. i literally explained why that wouldn’t change much

never mind a canvas, if the guy cared in the slightest about the “art” AI made he’d at least print it on poster paper

this experiment shows how even the “artists” just do not care about those images, and why would they? why would any of us care?

this shows exactly the core of the issue - every piece of art made by a human, no matter how good or bad (whatever that means), is a reflection of the artist. Sometimes they pour their entire soul into a piece, sometimes just a small part of them, but it’s always a reflection of them. So the artist will care about what they’ve made because it’s their own self, in a way. And others will care about it too, because we crave to get to know others, understand them, see the world how they see it - and art allows us to glimpse just that.

AI slop elicits none of those emotions, there is no artist to care about, no reflection of the self, no worldview to glimpse, no way of caring about it, nothing – even if it was you who wrote the prompt, you just can’t bring yourself to give a shit
