    wow, it seems like it’s printed on printer quality paper. really amplifies how those who use AI for “art” don’t give a flying fuck about art

      Would have been far more interesting as an experiment if he had done a better job on better media. Doesn’t usually look so hot, but printing on canvas isn’t some rare thing.

      How long would it have stayed up? How would people react?

        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

          You are reading way too much into my comment. I just thought it would be a more interesting experiment if the guy had put a tiny bit of effort into making it look at least plausibly real.

          Maybe he made it awful on purpose? 🤷🏻

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