Seeing people go gaga over all this AI trash kind of makes me convinced that most people just… do not see? Not that something is physically wrong with their vision but it’s like most of it doesn’t even register, even more so than what I thought was the normal baseline of inattention to details.

Are people just constantly distracted and not really engaging with media? Only watching or looking at things on small screens? The result of decades of cuts and devaluation of art education? Literally just being happy with whatever garbage is in front of them? It’s a mystery to me.

The ooohs is mostly about how fucking far it has come so quickly. You must see how this technology is a pretty fucking big deal

[–] burliman@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They don’t see and don’t really want to see. Typical technophobe responses rooted in fear and insecurities.

I’d rather be a technophobe than a Philistine. 🤷‍♂️

You wouldn't have to be a fool at all if you don't want to?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

A bigger fool is the one who thinks they’re making art when they type “big titty goth gf” into the plagiarism machine, lol.

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

They aren't making the art.

The AI is drawing the big titty goth gfs.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 0 points 6 months ago

No, the bigger fool is the aggressor

Both you fuck yourself and try to fuck others

People that exist and use new tools

Even if the tool is bad to you

Are not the fools here

I am sure you see that

I see how far it’s come and I fucking hate it. It creates nothing, it wholly brings down the quality of art in the world and destroys countless people’s lives. There are no benefits

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu -2 points 6 months ago

A very childish take

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, if you reread what I wrote you might notice I said absolutely nothing about the technical side of it.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What a condescending view point while bringing nothing to the table but insults.

I see a technology that will break the barriers necessary to get into animation and movie production, finally paving way for indie companies in the domain. It will elevate art in all domains, bringing us more interesting products and features.

God I want some large projects by independent teams. It's impossible to do anything without a sponsor, but this might be what we need for smaller groups to create wonderful complex works of art, instead of cookiecutter boardroom content machines that currently flood almost all available commercial artistic spaces.

Can't wait to see how the tech develops. It's be curious to do VR experience recreations of my dreams through AI dictation.

Modelling, rigging, animation and the like are all coming. Imagine walking around a world being crafted and changed as you describe each element to be exactly what you are looking for.

I think it would capture more artist intent than the unnecessary interface of archaic tools that create an artificial interface and challenge between you and your vision.

Especially if you've damaged your digits, or otherwise lack digital dexterity.

But change scares people. Especially ones who have put in effort to conform to the current economic system corporate art creators.

If I'm happy with something, it's not garbage.
