What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?
High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show.
Not so much the piss scene, but still.Yes the story is so fun. After the anime I also ready on in the Manga, which is also good. It’s so sad that Daisuke Satō died so soon. Now it will remain unfinished.
What piss scene? I Must have pushed it out of my Brain…
I know this is late, but when the main character was rescuing the little girl, he holds her on his back. Like, a minute into the escape, she says she has to go to the bathroom and pees on the guy’s back. Like, he gave her permission, but why was that one of her first scenes?
Omfg I remember 💀
Ohh people are aren’t going to like this
AI coding, “vibe coding”
AI coding, “vibe coding”
We call it ‘slopping’
No we don’t
Vibe coding has a niche, which is people who can read, understand, and debug code, but can’t remember the syntax or can’t be arsed to write everything manually. It’s good for blocking in right now, basically, and that’s an entirely valid use of the technology
AI art (and AI in general). The amount of misinformed and outright wrong bullshit that gets levelled at me when I defend AI or point out something false is ludicrous. Almost every single argument against it was levelled at photography a century ago, much of that was levelled at pre-mixed paints before that, and what’s left is either flat out wrong, or levelled at the wrong place
Agreed. Obviously mega corporations suck, but AI as a technology does not NEED to be unethical. It sucks that because people want to hate on mega corps (rightfully so) they feel justified in tacking on any flawed argument they want to against AI.
People have issues separating out complex bundles of issues into their separate threads and dealing with them individually. It’s much easier to keep it all jumbled together and pass judgement on the whole lot. It’s lazy thinking, which is ironically contrary to the virtues so frequently espoused in these arguments.
Furthermore, like you said, many people have strong opinions on the issue despite not really having any understanding of the philosophy of art, history of art, or the technology itself. It boils down to the same sort of layperson’s gibberish that gives us other bad takes like “abstract art isn’t art, my dog could paint that!” or “this performance art is just a tax evasion scheme!”. It reveals the tastelessness of the accuser. It’s extremely frustrating that these people always present themselves as true art enjoyers, when in fact they are not.
It reminds me of a time I was at the symphony, and the opening piece was a very avant garde one. It displayed wonderful chromaticism, really emotional chaotic passages, clever balancing of orchestral timbres…I study and compose classical music, I know music theory quite deeply, and for me it was a lovely piece. When it was over, this old lady next to me, all dressed up, complained that “that was just noise, not even music”, and got all indignant about the bastardization of art. I’m sure she would have said the same thing at the debut of Rite of Spring, which she now undoubtedly “admires” and upholds as a masterwork. I would be surprised if she could name the notes of the key of C major. Yet it is precisely her lack of knowledge which gives her such a narrow view of the art she imagines herself to be a connoisseur of.
Same exact phenomenon as I’ve complained about before on Reddit, with its endless art-boner for any realistic “impressive” pencil sketch, over something that is equally technically impressive and more emotional, but in a way they are too unknowledgeable to appreciate.
It’s just the way of art, I suppose.
Yeah, spot on. Also The Rite Of Spring is one of my favourite pieces of music ever
Wait but why would someone defend ai art…
Like the only reason I can think of is it maybe makes someone who is lazy feel good about themselves because they make a computer generated picture with zero effort (while stealing from real artists and feeding the megacorp machine) ?
Sorry, this is on the same level of saying “well they denied electricity at first and this is just like that!” Braindead take.
Carry on. (Yes im reinforcing your comment by even replying here, ha!!)
Wait but why would someone defend ai art…
For the same reason that we defended computer-aided art back in the day after people had the exact same reaction to it.
And photography before that, and pre-mixed paints before that (the media dragged J. M. W Turner of all people for it!). I imagine many of the same arguments were used against pencils and brushes when they were first invented too!
Yeah that’s a damn fine example of a really stupid take. Thank you.
Lets start with the amount of effort it takes not being related to artistic value, otherwise your pictures would be worth more than Picasso’s doodles, wh9ich is clearly bullshit. Plus the fact that’s ableist as fuck - I recently suffered nerve damage and so can’t actually control a pencil properly, and trying get painful, soi are you really saying disabled people can’t and shouldn’t create art?
Now theft - it; not theft. No artist is denied their work, no copies are made, and it can’t reproduce their work. It can mimic a style but most of the people who complain about that are the most derivative anime-style furry porn artists (no offence to furry porn, but what they create is no high art!)
Oh, and I agree that the best ai, like most software, is run locally and is open source. Disliking megacorps is not a criticism of ai
So yeah, thanks again for illustrating my point
