I didn’t know that site was still around. That was my reddit before reddit.

That’s a good argument. I get this. The problem that I see is that you aren’t very present in the art. The AI is 100% leading you with what it knows. AI is essentially helping you create a collage of all the styles and bits of image content on the Internet. How are we going to develope new styles? A human can use their imagination and skill to create something groundbreaking and pioneering (artists had to break ground and fill the world with this art for AI to be even able to do this). AI is just going to continue to remix remixes of remixes. It’s sad to me. That’s not really what art is about. I’m not saying AI art isn’t useful. It’s a remix machine.

Right now, a game, an album, and um… oil painted MTG Myr Tokens?

I don’t think that is a fair comparison. Electronic musicians don’t outsource song construction to an algorithm that copies all the other songs on the Internet. Even though they can use midi instruments, sequencers, and samples (which do carry a known risk of copyright violation) they’re still composing or performing.

Thank you for describing your process in such detail. I’m sorry if this is going to come off as overtly contrary; that’s such an impersonal convoluted way to make an image. There are good illustrators out there that can sketch roughs and make a beautiful finished painting in a night, all right out of their head. Frank Frazetta would be laughing in his grave at AI art.

And the word ‘aesthetic’ … please add that to the list.

“Oh no! My blue check!!” It’s not real and it’s not a display of power like he thinks.

During class. You made up “study time”. No one cares if your on your phone studying during “study time” in the library. But if someone is lecturing you shouldn’t be on your phone or have earbuds in.

Wrong. Get off the phone.

Yes, but how is that not a legitimate explanation. There’s enough Americans on lemmy to see a few posts with English title capitalization.

I have two Jabras, low and high end. I really have no complaints. I listen to music at work and switch over to calls on Teams seamlessly. Good battery capacity. “Hear Through” at the click of a button. The bass is too high but that can be easily adjusted in the companion app.

My 2019 Jetta has a 100% digital instrument cluster. It’s currently broken…just a black screen. It’s neat how reliable analogue instruments are.

This is 100% real for young people. It’s sad and stupid. At least they can easily figure out who will be a crappy friend.

I have a feeling the concept of separate instances here on Lemmy with throw off a lot of non-techy people. When they can’t figure out how to sign up or why they need to pick a server you’ve lost the huge majority of the population. Maybe it’s a good thing.

“Rat” insinuates that they are always there and can’t get rid of them. A gym rat is someone who is always at the gym.
