Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.

But people were bad at assessing whether images were made by artificial intelligence or an artist.

I don't care whether or not you call it art, but calling it 'just throwing some text in a computer' is just factually incorrect.

It’s exactly what it is to me. It’s an unskilled effort for a barely mediocre result. If programming a robot to throw a football doesn’t make someone an athlete, than it’s not artistry to type a sentence.

It's not subjective, there is more to the process than just writing prompts. Are 3d modelers unskilled because all they do is move a mouse and occasionally type on a keyboard? 2d digital artists are just moving around a fake pen on a plastic tablet. Programmers type words into a text file. You're horribly oversimplifying. Of course someone could just do a basic prompt and post their raw gens, but that also happens all the time with sketches, story ideas, and just newer artists in general. There is a lot of pre and post processing that goes into making something worth looking at.

It’s my opinion, and I’m keeping it. No amount of whataboutism is going to change that- so just walk away from this.

It's not an opinion you're just wrong ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

No, it’s an opinion. You really should learn what opinions are, and how they work. Because considering AI is capable of making art is ALSO an opinion.

Do you also struggle with reading comprehension? That's not what I was saying.

We’re done here. Have a good day.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So instead of actually responding to what I said this whole time you ran with an assumption. Huh, almost like it's exactly what my initial comment was about!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I don’t exercise futility. You are upset that I have an opinion that challenges yours. It’s not that big of a deal. I’m not bothered that you disagree.

Maybe try following my lead. You’ll be a lot happier. Trust me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What makes you think I'm bothered when you also keep responding? Sounds like you could stop at any time too and admit you misread what I initially wrote?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Ahh… I see what’s happening here. You’re a troll that thinks that as long as I keep responding you you, you win.

Blocking you now, so…. I guess you win? lol!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

You were correct to block the rage-bait account haha. Go look at his comments, what a dweeb.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Anyone who points out my errors is a troll apparently, got it. Enjoy your microcosm of the internet that you leave unblocked
