The fucking chiblee bit threw me for a loop because the audio changed abruptly and I was like WHAT IS LIBRARIAN ACTUALLY PLAYING THE VIDEO

[@FirstLast-gm9nu]

I'm a big old nerd for this, but nl talks about how people don't have a sudden moment of clarity as they die, and George Saunders has a short story related to this concept called The End of Firpo in The World. I highly recommend the story, it illustrates the idea that nl describes in a way that only a story can but I warn you it is extremely sad. I will now summarize the story below. Beware of spoilers. A cognitively impaired child is abused and belittled by those closest to them before getting hit by a car. The driver rushes out of the car and tries to comfort the child telling them that they are beautiful and that God loves them. The dying child is annoyed by the kind words that the man is saying because the child does not believe them, and thinks the man must be an imbecile to say such things. While the story may sound like a slog in the way I described it, it is written entirely from the inner monologue of the child, which makes each page far more interesting to read

[@Altobrun]

I like playing around with AI art. The quality is noticeably worse than paying an artist for commissions (which I've done), and you lose out on the really cool styles many artists have developed honing their craft; but I'm a poor student and I like being able to make portraits for NPC's for the campaigns I DM, and build cool fantasy cities I can show my players. I also clean up the art afterwards in photoshop, which is at least half the fun. Edit: That ponytail guy goes hard, good on him

[@aBlackMage]

Yeah, I agree with the anti-AI stance when it comes to any commercial applications that put creatives out of their jobs. But how does making memes or "dragon holding sword" for fun impact those creatives negatively? I never would've hired anyone for that anyway because I frankly don't have that kind of disposable income. It sucks that people are unable to separate the cool technology/using AI for entertainment or personal productivity from all the grifters exclusively trying to use it to make bank

[@Storse]

​@@aBlackMageAI image generators are fundamentally built on unethically sourced datasets. It's not just about commercial vs personal use it's also just how the tech is built, I would be more okay with the use of AI Image generators if the datasets were ethically sourced with consent from the people it takes from and was built on public domain works from the very start. But the people that made the most popular stuff just don't care about artists and their rights to their own work. Not to mention there has been cp and private medical photos found in one of the biggest datasets used for training data.

[@self.construction.day1]

I just dont see the appeal of AI visual art unless it serves a practical function. Art that took time and labour to make one complex message about the world deserves some appreciation even if its not for me. A png of a guy who told a computer to make something he cannot visualize is just a sad thing to picture.

[@Xenomnipotent]

Exactly this, the basis of art is that it’s a communication between the artist and the viewer to deliver a message. An algorithm that randomly generates an image based on metadata of other artists to generate a “frankenstein art piece” has absolutely no substance other than the most superficial-level of quality. It’s just… soulless.
