I’m not sure I’d call Larry David a piece of art, but he is pretty cool, so sure.

The best part about being a mediocre artist is that my art is bad in ways that only a human could screw up 😎

To be fair, you could never trust art you saw online with the amount of forgeries, photoshop, etc. Historically they would do it by hand, but the time computers were involved things got complicated. Then it would seem Hollywood/governments/the news found out they could just fake stuff to get people riled up. AI just leveled the playing field and in a strange way so people should slowly start only trusting what they see in person now. Human crafted art will likely be worth more as time passes

Great point. Noticed this when dating apps and filters became a heavily used thing. Could tell if a picture was legit if there was a flaw.

Yeah you could never trust 100% of all art you saw online, but in my experience you could trust a good 75-80% at least. Now it’s more like 15%, MAYBE 20%

I just keep having instances where, for the first 5 or so seconds that I look at an unfamiliar piece, I’m in awe at the composition, the color palette, the line work, etc, only to find out soon after that it was ai generated. It’s literally forcing me to hold back my admiration for almost all new art I see online just so I don’t have to face that disappointment for the millionth time. I hate that it’s done this to my experiencing of art

So if you’re in awe of the art why do you care when you find out ai was used to generate it? Sounds like a bias that prevents you from enjoying it art that you otherwise like just because you have a stick up your arse. Replace “ai” with computer and you’ll have the sentiment of artists pre 2000

I am biased against ai art because it is not real art. It’s an amalgamation a computer put together of all art it’s scraped that it thinks will satisfy the user’s needs. Art is human. It is inherently an expression of humans, whether that be a minor or major expression. Ai art just copies what it sees with none of the intentionality of a human. Furthermore, digital art is still made by a human, you still need basically all of the skills and knowledge to make good digital art that you need to-

-make good traditional art. Ai “artists” aren’t artists using a tool like digital artists, they’re more comparable to a commissioner. Even more, generative ai is awful for the environment due to how much water it needs to cool the computers that run the ai programs.

Larry David was named in a class-action lawsuit for promoting the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, which later collapsed due to fraud. While the lawsuit accused him of potentially defrauding investors, a court has since ruled that he and other celebrity endorsers were not liable because they lacked knowledge of the company's fraud. However, some aspects of the lawsuit regarding the promotion of unregistered securities may still be active.

Look man, I picked this image because I thought it represented how I felt about this in a kinda funny way. I can’t tell if you responded like that as a way of intentionally missing the point or not, but the image choice is not that deep
