Let’s indulge, shall we? Let’s delve into a nonexistent fantasy world where #AI Generated imagery was NOT plagiarism and theft (my chief complaint about it)… Let’s go there for a hot minute… (Magical portal whisks us away) I breathe a sigh of relief at not feeling obligated to point out that AI generated imagery is obviously creative larceny… Then I look at all of the stuff you AI bros have been creating… and guess what? IT’S STILL DOG SHIT!!! 😂 None of you know anything about storytelling , composition, balance, or any of the disciplines that artists use. These are tools only a sentient, cognitive MIND can wield. It’s the trickiest part of being an artist and that’s why you twits hand it over to something else to tackle. Consequently, any actual ideas you conjured that may have merit are robbed of it entirely by the thing you filtered it through. Art isn’t made with a pencil, or pen, or paints, or camera, or any other tool… Art is created with genuine intelligence and actual cognition. This is why all of your stuff looks like shit. You haven’t spent years cultivating this part of your mind… It’s why you don’t appreciate or understand what Art really is the way most people do. Most people appreciate Art for reasons they can’t even articulate because it touches something elusive and ethereal. Somewhere along the line, you rejected those deeper feelings, and that’s why you’re so bitter against everyone else. Something in you died a long time ago, and you want to get it back, but you’re going about it in precisely the wrong way. As a result, this stuff you generate and call “art” is not only not art, it’s just waste made manifest. It’s sad to look at. But I can’t pity you, because you’re just so narcissistic and hateful. I sincerely hope you find a way to turn this around someday. #NoToGenerativeAI
