people create some really awesome stuff. i saw a vid talked about the sublime in art, and it's like these grand sceneries that make you feel small as a human. and i've felt that in nature. in movies. like how long do you gotta really sink into that to be able to put it on paper or a screen? and then i get it when i see it? it's not just words.

I usually consider myself pretty media literate, but I haven't got a clue what you're trying to say, sorry.

    it's awesome what we can create, like art. but then we live in this culture that's all about creating "content" and consuming it, really hungrily. Like yay, we get to create more but people appreciate it less.

    I don't think you have to inherently get into the line of "content creation" to create. Create for yourself, not others. Only share publicly if you think others would appreciate it, but sharing shouldn't ever be the sole reason. If it is then you're "doing art wrong".

    If you mean: in a constant stream of content, people rarely stop to appreciate the tremendous work, that went into the creation of good pieces. I agree, and it's especially offensive when quickly washed away, with low effort garbage like AI "content".
