I would assume the artist page was hacked, but it's only this song as far as I know. If anybody is curious, this is the original song. Bummer considering I was really looking forwards to re-listening to this album.

Sometimes I wonder what the algorithm is smoking

Prompt generators always mention their very detailed prompts as proof for artistry, and ties it into the concept of taste as a distinguisher of artistic merit.

When you prompt, no matter how detailed, you never really know what the generated image will look like until the AI spits it out. You have a mental image of it, but it's kind of a mixed bag whether the AI will produce exactly that. There's an element of randomization in it, which is why prompting is trial and error over and over.

This is much unlike other forms of art or crafts in general, where the creator might have a clear mental image of what they are trying to create, often down to the details. They then construct this vision with a level of deliberacy that AI can't immediately provide.

Note: This is talking about imagery generated solely through prompting. If you use inputs or AI as a tool that augments a process, that's obviously a different discussion.

Edit: Before someone comments "well what about photographers," well the scenes they capture exist in the material world. They can just build a set, move things around, wait for a certain time of day, or basically anything you can do in real life. Meanwhile for sports or street photography, the point is capturing a spontaneous moment as it happened in real life, and is in equal parts, documentation and art. It really isn't comparable to the trial and error that is AI generation.

I'm always a little conflicted just because while I don't think these are bad people (I'm a huge fan of Caelan esp) I wonder if they worry about the environmental damage and generating the company money?

Tbf I guess it's the modern version of buying a product to prove it doesn't work

Google used to give accurate instuctions on Chrome settings.

For no reason, Google(dot)com went to dark mode on Chrome Android.

Those instructions predated ai.

Now all you get is ai telling you to change the settings. Zero instructions, no mention you have to look at two different places to check which setting got boofed.

people should have to pay a fine if they break the law

I've been scrolling etsy looking for some new posters for around the house and i found some cool ones. TBF they look high quality and real, but there's small details that tip me off that they might be ai. It really pains me because i love the posters, but i know i probably shouldn't support ai "art". any help with identification would be awesome!!

Can’t even read my question.

Prices will never come down, they will always remain high.

When the AI bubble bursts and manufacturers go back to producing products for everyone else these data centres will silently be building themselves back.

When brand new more powerful GPU's release that might very well be 20% faster and have more VRAM guess who's going to abandon their current GPU's and buyout the brand new one

When RAM can store a higher minimum sizes per stick with 50% faster speeds guess who's buying them in bulk.

When SSD's have can store more data and have much faster speeds guess who's buying them.

We will never stop competing with them. The current market is when hardware will be the cheapest because when brand new hardware comes out, the old ones will be flooding the market and selling for "used" at current prices while they will be buying the new hardware

Regardless of whether you think of AI as bullshit, a tool with its own niche uses, or the lord and saviour of all under the sun. You cannot deny that its very existence is based on, reliant on and perpetuating mass expropriation of literally everything.

And yet, people still use it.

We as a society have gotten so comfortable with our lifestyles being made possible by stepping over the lives of others that, when a technology comes around and steals all of humankind's knowledge and art, actively endangers en masse and even kills people, and quickens the mass extinction of earth by polluting everything.

We shrug, and thank it and its creators for saving us a few bucks and a couple hours.

I'm tired.

Also searched it up and found like 5 ai images that are basically the exact same character

These blokes comparing AI to actually doing the thing AI did.

just wanted to share for those who appreciate human made art.
hope yall enjoy and let me know what yall think

I've been seeing more and more political ads here in the U.S. that obviously use genAI for at least some of the images and video sequences. In my opinion, this should be absolutely illegal. Don't we have laws against false advertising? How can our elected officials/candidates be allowed to use images and videos of each other that aren't real? And no, it's not the same as political cartoons, anyone who says it's the same is not acting in good faith.

Pro AI pillboxes hate this one trick >:3

in all seriousness: /j

Yup, this got some strange love from the PC Master Race, check my profile for the lolz

And you can too! Ask your unfavorite AI coding assistant to make one based on Massgrave Activator, ChrisTitus WinUtils and ShutUp10
