"Anarchist" lololol
Yeah, using the corporate product that stole all individuals' work to regurgitate abortions from billionaire oligarch's algorithms is totally "anarchist."
Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.
Obviously /s
He would say that to lure more people into his North Pole workshop
It's not stealing if there are no rules whatsoever, which is exactly what anarchy is!
/S
There are rules. But rich people don't have to follow them. It's domination. Not anarchy/anarchism.
Edit: Okay now I see the /S. Not deleting though lol.
Uhhh I will get downvoted but I have to say, anarchocapitalism is still anarchism. And obviously disrespecting property rights is a very anarchist thing to do, so.
And many AI models you can run completely on your own hardware, no billionaire oligarchies have a say in what you do.
anarchocapitalism is still anarchism
Sounds more like people who want to have luxuries and comforts and money but don't want to have anyone telling them what they can and can't do.
Sounds about right for the current fascist techbro community.

It's like these mentally lazy ignorant people look all around themselves, see how the horizon is basically at the same distance all around them, therefore conclude that they must be the center of the universe, then sprinkle in a few fashionable internet soundbites and catchphrases to "make themselves sound interesting" and "with it".
Anyone who claims "AI = anarchy" deserves to have a canvas broken on its head cartoon style
What classic art is transphobic. Lots of renaissance artists were LGB, the T came out when many of them painted themselves into biblical characters of different genders. It gets written off as because using themselves as models was more available than models, or vanity, but transphobic is far from the first description I’d come up with for the art history I learned.
This is cartoonishly obvious bait.
Engaging with bait like this is 90% of why the world is in the mess it’s currently in.
Counterpoint, but CREATING content like this is 90% of the reason, and these people should be remembered in history as the cockroaches they are. I can at least understand people who get mad at bait.
So much of modern life feels like ‘internet troll’ became a personality affectation.
Our brains were never meant to be so over-exposed to so many conflicting messages all day, every day, and a lot of powerful people are exploiting this fact to an absurd degree.
Obviously. I mean, even when AI could not do fingers (and today they are mostly fine), you could simply recreate the picture until you had something usable.
Having a picture like this and the over the top "negative/positive points" is done deliberately.
I'm not sure, in its early days, generative AI slop was kind of promoted like that. Then anyone left of Margaret Thatcher rejected it, and almost only the Curtis Yarvin type techbros embraced it, so it slowly became the "anti-woke" alternative to real art.
I hate how misogynistic traditional art is! Just last week, when I was drawing, my pencil started ranting about "feeeeemales."
I tried to draw a bunny rabbit for Easter and instead I drew Harvey Weinstein! shakes fists Aaaaaart!
Hate when this happens
Please tell me you gave him the bunny ears and if so where I can purchase this masterpiece.
And transphobic! My baby blue and light pink pencils never draw straight lines!!!
Oof, you must have gotten a shipment of Ferengi pencils, they can be a little.... "Eccentric"
Don't create or spread bait.
Most people are too stupid to know the difference. Not you of course. You know what is up.
sorry consider the bait spread i personally have the opinion that bait inoculation is possible
Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky now and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.
This feels just like the twitter men roleplaying as women saying that they love misogyny.
They're using "woke" language to promote anti-woke subjects.
good way to put it
I'm building a house in the middle of nowhere without internet. Anyone want to join me?
Omg yes how do I throw money at you.
there's a website called like "land of text" or something which is basically an infinite .txt where people can edit stuff in real time. You should build a house there
This is also my plan, but for real.
We can go 50/50
this is obviously satire
The title assured me that this was not satire. Since I have no critical thinking skills I'm not sure who to believe.
That's a pretty long pencil
also sharpened by some wacky sharpener that leaves an off-center tip
I mean, the shorter an object is, the harder it is to snap.
theres no thumb just another index finger ...
Digglet thumbs
Please make me a wine glass filled to the brim with wine, almost spilling over.
I to have no talent and am unable to create traditional art.
But what about getting likes without any effort or personal involvement??! /s
To be fair, sourcing vegan-friendly art supplies is often significantly more frustrating than finding vegan food. But as others have said, doing - do I call it 'traditional digital' art? - is going to have a much smaller environmental impact than AI generation systems that are dependent on servers. A used Thinkpad x230 > Midjourney?
Also wanna add that in theory I'm not against AI art generation, only the way it's usually implemented. All creativity is derivative, and as long as the user is remixing free and public domain content, I think the gained accessibility for far more people to bring their expressions to life where they otherwise would not have been able to, is worth far more than the perceived threats felt by a stagnant copy monopolist industry.
But the key thing here is proper implementation. It's like every time we get a new toy, we forget all over again that software freedom is a moral imperative in all forms of software.
if traditional art is transphobic how are drag queens a thing
(i know drag !== trans but still)
I notice they used an actual photograph for their post... isn't photography "traditional" artwork? Why not generate a person with weirdly smooth features, 6 and a half fingers on one hand, a pencil that looks vaguely like a bunch of dry spaghetti, and a sports team jersey with a garbled illegible logo? It's so much faster, more accessible and less misogynistic.
look again. subject's right hand has 5 fingers plus a thumb
Stop making fun of that poor AI artist's disability, you monster.
What art are they looking out? Artists have been making powerful pieces with hidden messages and symbols since forever. Even graffiti can be used to disrupt and inform. Yes, there is garbage, but there's garbage everywhere.
How much you bet on that this very same person is now part of the "dark enlightement" after the progressives almost unanimusly rejected generative AI slop?
I asked an AI to draw me a group friends celebrating a birthday. The result was all blond white dudes. Then I asked it to make a diverse group of friends instead. The result was all black women.
just did the very same, inspired by your post. the image does not load but it looks better...
Meaningless. Soulless. Dead.
inclusive
accessible
make some stuff with disabled people and people of color featured and see what happens
Take an older model and you'll get nothing but disabled people
Because of the mangled hands? Like the ones in OPs image?
🎣
What a dumb asshole.
All that person is gonna do with that grip is rip the eraser off.
AI could make this less pixelated...but so could whatever humans and/or bots took the screenshot and shared it everywhere.
I'm kinda done trying to have some sort of anti-stance with this. AI reminds me too much of smartphones, where anybody who didn't have one was an asshole, ignorant stupid old person blah. I held out on a smartphone for something like ten years, just because they were pricey, I had my dumbphone and PC, I didn't need one. Eventually you just couldn't do adult business effectively without one and there I stood with an iPhone 4 when 3G was getting ready to disappear.
Everyone does nothing but piss and moan about their phones, now, all the "normal" people have been sucked into the vortex that created the "neckbeard", and we live in a dystopia where everyone can't seem to leave the house without their government tracking device. It didn't matter at all back when they were hot and new, every kid had to have one and now we're fucked.
It's the same with AI. People jumped on that shit scary fast, I think GenZ was desperate to have something that felt like "their" technology. Once I heard the scientists acting like people were stupid for being anti-AI, then I knew it was over. The upper-middle-class has spoken, all you can do now is decide to get treated like crap. Capital wants AI, and what baby wants, baby gets. They have learned to whip you with your own children to make you obey.
My favorite use for Copilot is using it to translate normal declarative sentences into that awful passive-aggressive language they use in offices because they just can't have the terrifying confrontation of, "I put all that information in the last email, please read it again." It's really good at that because it's been trained on everything you've probably ever sent though Outlook.
That shit's an arbitrary class barrier, so it's good that you can use Copilot to translate sentences into White Woman to learn office talk the way I can use SpanishDict to translate my English into Spanish and back. There wasn't really a way to do that before, and now you can study it and learn it so you can deal with the fucked up social requirements that go into a job that pays above the median wage.
Otherwise I have no profitable use for it. I desperately need to learn one.
So yeah, start using the shit out of it or get kicked out the airlock. Sucks for the artists but capital wants change and you've already lost. Yeah, I don't really want to get good at anything, either, if this thing's just gonna suck it up, take my skills and make me go work at McDonald's anyway after decades of dedication. Love how technology empowers like 2/10ths of the people and throws most of us under the bus, again and again.
