BAR OWNER: “You’re OK at making drinks, but are you good at changing the channel on a TV?”
BARTENDER INTERVIEWEE: “I am the literal worst channel changer of all time.”
BAR OWNER: “You start tomorrow.”
No one believes me when I say this, but the decline in reading is already having dire consequences for art & culture. The media you loved in your youth—shows, albums, films—was made by artists who were widely read. You will not have that quality of art in a post-literate world.
AI art is so annoying because back in the day if you saw something cool you could just be like “oh man that is cool, what a talented artist” but now you gotta do a twenty point inspection to determine whether its authentic before you can vibe with it or not
I hate this shit
