yeah exactly, we don’t need someone to have a different skin colour to be racist, that’s a simple man’s racism. us europeans only do the finest of racisms - normal people with normal white skin (my village) vs the weird people with a similar skin but their accents are kinda weird and scary (all the other villages, and especially that one village over there)

(huge /j in case that wasn’t obvious)

the same way racism ended in 1964?

why stop there! toss it into a pottery kiln at 2100°F and have it ready in less than 7min :)

guessing it’s a recepie blog/person

i’m also guessing Sharon there substituted eggs for diet mayonnaise and baked in 350°C instead of 350°F

edit: turns out it’s even dumber. i reverse image searched and Marie Callander’s is a shop that sells frozen meals… so this pie was ready, literally all it needed was to visit an oven of a certain temperature for some time

any and all UI changes will make people angry

steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless

that is a- strange way to describe a global pandemic

most people were stuck at homes worrying about their income or health

of course there was going to be regression, the world was frozen, events stopped, some places had heavy restrictions on leaving home to go anywhere, thousands were dying every day - not exactly a situation that nurtures progress or positive growth in a society

i have adhd so i’m allowed to cheat here

my hobby shelf (fully stocked up), and a laptop.

for the 18+ version instead of a laptop there’s a set of BDSM gear

yeah instead he’d be crossing the street to buy bread or eggs. as much as religion sucks - ot was the drunk driver

i think in this case it was the drunk driver actually, unless they were also a priest

by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn’t make something art

i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too

the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn’t make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow

it’s not AI “art” itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI “art” itself it’s about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it’s not art, because it’s not individual pieces that “make us think” – it’s the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can’t be bothered to engage with art at all.

sure it does make you think, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

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

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

i just hope Skyrim Grandma gets to play it :(

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

not really! the wikipedia page is a good source information about what we know about it, for the unknowns looking around online for like “how does anesthesia work exactly” leads you to experts just going “idk, but it does work so”

it could’ve been “like” it could’ve been for real! we actually have no idea how exactly anesthesia works, we just found a substance that knocks us out and probably makes it so we can’t feel anything, and we mastered using it, but nobody really knows the exact mechanism of how it works :)

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

i mean, they still do that anyway, for all we know the “disagree” button does fuck all. but at least now we know that they do it, hooray?
