Back when I was in art school, we believed in this with all our hearts.
Bonus panel
AI can make a picture, it can’t make value. I have seen some decent looking AI generated images, but there is absolutely no value to them.
Like copying a jpg and calling yourself an artist.
One of my core memories is the shy girl in my photography class at community college complementing the pictures I took of my cat.
…need to impress the shy girl…
For some, sure. Creating art means many different things to many different people, but it always means something. Generated content has no meaning. It’s just output.
AI will never want to be fucked, therefore AI can never create art.
To be fair, AI managed to fuck me today with Microslop’s GPU availability being rubbish. Not every GPU needs to be used for forcing copilot on random office workers ffs, some people need them for things that aren’t LLMs.
What about ace people?
I think a much more universial example would be that AI will never desire garlic bread

Wait, what did you say?
How about AI will never want to be loved?
The key is needing to impress people to convince them to feel a certain way about you, something that garlic bread does not capture.
People make art for themselves all the time.
Self love
Observes art from an arm’s length.
Nope, I’m still a piece of shit.
Welp, maybe you strive for self love?
Yes. I sometimes make negative comments as a way of laughing at myself. Basing your self worth on any skill is a trap a lot of people fall into, are sometimes pushed into.
What about porn chatbots you prompted to really want to be fucked? 🤔
They’re faking it.
Literally
Not really. They would need to have consciousness and drives to be faking it. The models are predicting what words would have the highest likelihood of being used in response to you telling them to tell you they want to be fucked.
Also if they were capable of evolving into something thinking, they’d probably actually be the robot version of horny
Heck yeah they would
As we all know, nobody finds any value in things made by robots.
Now excuse me while I go drive my human manufactured car on the hand-paved streets into fantasyland.
Ah yes, we use cars and therefore AI slop is art.

Remember, AI cannot hold a copyright. That AI art you created? No you didn’t, AI did and it’s basically public domain.
Well, its “skill” was built on public domain or via piracy, so its result should be public domain too.
Hell, my interpretation of the “derivative works” clause of GPL stipulates that all llm and genai products should also be gpl.
Hell, my interpretation of the “derivative works” clause of GPL stipulates that all llm and genai products should also be gpl.
…an interpretation broad enough to cover that would also mean that anyone who has ever seen GPL code before would only ever be able to write GPL code ever again. The idea of which I imagine would give Richard Stallman an erection you could see from space,
That’s close to the actual intention. Most MIT rewrites of GPL projects don’t accept contributions from people familiar with the original codebase.
It’s different when a human does it accident than when companies build a licence laundering machine
I’m still convinced that being unable to copyright its output was always part of idea of laundering the stolen data fed in. This way it effectively self sabotages the copyrights of every company and individual using it.
So if I could convince a model to do a frame-by-frame recreation of a specific movie, maybe change a detail here or there, then I could distribute that movie without violating copyright?
I would suspect it would end in a similar manner to reverse engineering code, if you get a description of the whole film without specific products or actors, then recreate from that, then yes. But if you directly compare the scenes and make corrections to the output to make them closer, then no.
But you’ll have to do it and get sued anyway so the courts can rule on it.
So what? What if i just want to create and share
Art is about creating emotion. AI art does create emotions/feelings (hate, anger, nausea, etc).
So does posting a giant pile of diarrhea.
Or installing a urinal as an exhibit in an art museum? That one was pretty famous.
It also had commentary behind it with more depth than “press button to receive art”.
There have in fact been very successful art installations involving human waste and feces.
Cow bingo is art.
The standard to qualify as art is very low. The standard to qualify as worth looking at is much higher.
most of the anti AI people are just as annoying as that.
No, no, you see AI artists do have intent to impress.
It’s just that instead of impressing the girl in art class and maybe bumping genitals, they want to impress the 4chan mob and maybe get up votes.
Considering how 4chan is, a more likely outcome is that you’re getting called at least 3 different slurs because someone will either hate the slop, or perceive your insecurity about being unable to do art and decide to attack you.
Prose: Art
Prose ran through a machine : NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT’S NOT HECKING ART!Fuck the AI companies but come on man.
That’s not the same thing at all though? When you provide a prompt to an AI, you’re basically just feeding it instructions on what to make. I don’t think anyone would ever refer to an instruction manual as art.
AI doesn’t “make” anything. It steals. All you get when you prompt an AI, is a poor copy of an original piece that it was trained on. Otherwise, you’re completely correct.

Grandma’s cookbook?
“Fuck the AI companies but…”
Love it when shills try to make their take seem reasonable.
That’s right, I’m Mr OpenAI and I’m here to say, having your privacy violated through backdoors is A-OK!
Color does not matter, said the blind man.
Go listen to Skullgrid
What is it and can I have a link?
It’s an album by the prog-metal band “Behold the Arctopus”
And listening to it (or more realistically, reading the lyrics) will convince me of what exactly?
No idea. The guy who suggested you listen to it, seems to think it’s the best album ever, tho- considering he named himself after it.
So I will learn about this user at least, but I’m struggling to find the motivation.
Power of boners.
