What AI art reveals

MemesI actually closed my eyes and took a moment to prepare myself after reading the first sentence because I knew I was about to read the most brain-dead take imaginable.
I understand the OOP's sentiment. There are plenty of us who have visually detailed and complex ideas, but are unable to fully express them via conventional media, due to lack of skill or disability. Not everyone can practise their way into being a master painter. It doesn't mean I think of it as art, and I can't understand why some people are fine with passing off something generated from others' work as their own creativity.
is the accumulation of one's youtube feed truly the deepest gaze into the soul?
My Youtube feed is utter shit. I watch one One Piece theory video, and that is all Youtube starts recommending. I watch one trauma video and that is all my feed shows. Youtube is so annoying nowadays, more akin to dementia addled mind with ADHD.
I browsed some music on youtube on a fresh, logged out device a few days ago and it was so refreshing to get recommendations based the video I'm currently watching. Like 15 years ago. Now, if I'm logged in, the recommendations next to the playing video are the same ones as on the landing page, utterly useless.
It is when a person's depth is measured in teaspoons.
Naaah. Nowadays YouTube just represents the pinnacle of enshittification. Not something I’d admit publicly to using.
If someone wants to know the weird shit people have on their minds you just have to find their social media timeline, especially Reddit, Tumblr or Fedi. Or, like, talk to them.
Given the flavour of weird shit in someone's head most AI wouldn't even slop anything like that. Like, I'm thinking of three shrimps having a raging threesome right now with Jim Carrey's head in the background watching one shrimp-dick explode. The AI would probably refuse or just make Carrey sit in front of a meal.
I challenge any AI to come up with a comment like this.
Thank you for that vibrant mental image
This is what traditional art reveals. And quite well.
Couple of years ago I was at a cannabis painting event (get stoned whilst painting), with my friend. I've got some experience drawing and sketching, very little with painting. My friend has very little experience in anything art related, yet whilst I was struggling to figure out what to paint he manages to make a lovely blend of colours and themes, in ways I never could. I was looking at it for a good while, and it had so many lovely elements. He kept thinking his wasn't good!
He would've never been able to make that with AI, it would have missed all that nuance.
I chose to believe this happened. Jaden Smith has at least one friend and they were impressed with the art their friend made.
I will carry this story in my heart and retell it at the next paint and sip I go to.
If you've had very little experience with painting, how do you know how good you would be at it? Your friend might have a natural talent, but that doesn't mean that you couldn't learn how.
This is true. I'll be going to Amsterdam again soon, and I'm hoping there's another event at the time.
