@ctdonath@NaughtalieStone@SHL0MS I think this is a willful misunderstanding of where art gets its value. First off, “better” is entirely subjective and has no material basis, secondly, the answer to your question is this: why do you think the painting is worth millions but a high quality print worth hundreds
@ctdonath@NaughtalieStone@SHL0MS I mean, yes, because at that point you’re engaging in some kind of pseudo forgery. The interesting thing happening here is that it’s on our phones, that’s the contextual game. Otherwise the question you’re posing is: “what do people think of my fake Monet that I didn’t paint?”
@ranavain@hecubian_devil I don’t think LLMs substantively add anything to the creative process. The point is the process is the process, whatever inefficiencies there are in the creative process are responsible for the vision and idiosyncrasies of the result. It helps learning in a more tangible way
@NeoDogmaX@hecubian_devil I would probably argue it’s more often than not right wingers who say “it’s here and it’s not going away, learn to use it, etc etc” leftists are more likely to engage with things like long form/difficult artworks, which aren’t sports but reward process and journey in the same way
@DeanLearner@hecubian_devil That’s actually part of my equation: AI is going to compound existing internet related brain damage etc. it’s why I don’t buy the “it’s just a tool, we don’t grieve the loss of x or y arcane skill”
Most things can be answered by reading like a single article all the way through, but I understand this is the equivalent of reading the Bible back to front for most of us
@u_m_a_m_i All artists are salesman to some degree but beeple is more of a salesman than an artist. His work is basically memes, which would be interesting if the guy behind them had a thought in his head outside of ingratiating himself to wealthy tech people
