With Pollock, he was exploring the process. The end result looks like splatters but it's actually really hard to make a fake. Also sometimes those splatters are because he was doing shit like throwing the paint into a jet engine, which is cool.

Andy Warhol can fuck himself, his whole gimmick was people will buy the dumbest stuff if you call it art, the whole thing was a gaff and a grift at the same time and everyone knew it but bought into it anyway.

However they are both superior to slop makers. Because art is about choice. Each color splatted onto a canvas and each color chosen to repeat on a silkscreen by those two was a choice they made. Bots don't make those choices, it's just stolen pictures turned to static turned to numbers and then covering words into numbers into static into an image. The prompter doesn't make a choice about the image and neither does the bot.

    Yeah I dig that sort of process used for art, its interesting !!

    But what about when it comes to pixel art or anything like that? A bot can spit out the exact same pixel art a human can (probably better) and no one could ever tell. So basically we need to revert to paint on canvas and acoustic instruments only now? Because the bots can perfectly replicate every instrument and people can't tell at all.

    I'm just saying we are old man yelling at cloud. We're completely fucked and its not going to change, because have you seen the normies that still use google and amazon? Yeah, theyre the dumbasses pulling us all down into the slop and they love using botslop themselves.

    I guess art shows and concerts will still exist IRL. But everything else will be bot slop, so may as well get off the internet now.

    Kinda shitty of you to be that dismissive over pixel art. That's something that still involves choices.

    Ai still can't replicate things perfectly, people can spot it.

    And they don't like it.

    The point isn't to have an image made, the point is to make something, which I feel some people don't get

    Even if we reach the day when AI could replicate everything perfectly, I imagine people will still get annoyed at being showered with sneaky Turing tests everytime they wanted to interact with other people.

    And I say that as someone who doesn't hate AI.

    I was just using it as an example because a computer can replicate it exactly (its not oil on canvas, let's be honest, some things are different skills than others)

    If it can replicate it perfectly it won't be spotted. I guarantee ai is used in every new (big name)movie today and people can't spot it.

    You know a lot of art isn't digital, right?

    Yes, but 98% of the world experiences art (music and visual) all digitally. Thats why it sucks so hard that bot slop poisoned everything.

    When did you last see a kid slap on a reel to reel? They dont even know what CDs are now (which are obv digital but at least physical).

    Unless youre going to hand made art shows and buying cassettes at local shows of bands. So that's what, 34 people out of 7 billion? 🫠

    What a shit take. People interact with art way more in person than you're giving credit for. Plus there's entire art mediums that can't be experienced digitally. Ceramics, fiber arts, sewing, fireworks, cooking, just off the top of my head. Seeing a painting IRL is a very different experience than online. Reading a physical book even hits different.

    And again, the point isn't the end result. The point is making it. If people didn't want to make art there would be no craft supply stores, no one would buy instruments and learn to play, people wouldn't bother.

    Saying "oh we should give up" is ignoring that people want to make and decorate stuff.
