this right here is why i love punk. so many punk bands with shitty technique, but damn if they don't tend to leave it all onstage
blink-182 have always been the lousiest performers (minus travis obviously) yet they still sell out arenas because they bring a good time with good laughs. and i dont care they arent "punk enough" inb4 anyone says that
"not punk enough" people don't get that music genres are pretty artificial and there have always been bands that straddle genres. doesn't make them any less of either.
or they are just looking for an excuse to complain. complaining's fun, i get it.
I’ve been inspired to do more art that’s just ok because of souless AI
Hell yeah, space
I think that is the way to go anyway. Time is a circle, which means after the ai trend hits its peak, people will want genuine art.
This is the time to practice and share with like minded people to hone your skills so you are ready when you needed.
BTW there is a artshare community. Post your stuff there.
There is something especially charming about genuine amateur art.
When you can tell exactly what they intended to depict, but couldn't quite get there skill-wise adds something to the piece as a whole.
I love when people want to express some idea they had, so much that they're willing to put themselves out there, even though they know that the final work is not as good as it could be. To say nothing of the separate joy of following an artist and watching their work improve with time.
Oh yes you can have an amazing original idea, but lack the skills or the time to make it a timeless art work. A piece of the artist's soul is in there since the first doodle, and it's a privilege to get to peek at it.
We've been doing it a long time (this one's at least 40,000 years old):
It's like a perfect opposite of slop from the garbage dispenser we made to murder truth with.
Like, you can sort of know a person through it, reverse engineer relationships between ideas that existed in the artist's mind, even if it sucks.
The slop is usually blandly pretty and barowue as fuck, and it's way easier to add tits, but...
Sometimes the skill is drawing something that looks low effor but it's actually complex. Like these pilotredsun animation. Dude actually uses paint and photoshop and he gets some surreal results that are impossible to replicate.
My short stories may not be amazing, but at least I wrote them.
Dude. People are playing solo D&D with goddamn AI.
Fucking depressed the hell out of my night, so I had to scream it into some void.
Some expect this to results in a return of the third place. As the internet will get filled up with bots and slop, every movie is heavily written and produced with AI, people will look for something more genuine and go back to just hanging out offline.
Of course it would be D&D. Playing something more interesting would require commitment to a perspective.
Paranoia would be more thematically appropriate, of course.
Fuuuck. I'm so sorry you had to see that.
I feel this. I'm making a shitty web comic, but at least I care.
would you mind linking me your webcomic? i love webcomics and bet i'd love yours

It needs a lot of context. It happens in the world from !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org
Yeah. i absolutely suck at art. I don't have the imagination, the skills, nor the perseverance to do it.
But using "AI" to do that? It would make me feel even worse because I wouldn't even make anything
Factual tho
