We will soon miss the times when we were able to identify the use of #aiart
@harriorrihar Do you miss the times when you were able to identify the difference between a mcdonalds cheeseburger and a gourmet homemade one?
If human artists really can't bring anything to the table that a machine can't, then they deserve to be replaced. But I don't think that'll be a problem.
If I work at McDonald's, and they fire me from work because a robotic arm makes them, I doubtfully will eat at Gourmet restaurants, in fact I don't remember having eaten at any, so I literally don't know how they taste.
@harriorrihar That's why I said "homemade".
But ignoring that for a second, in your example, you've just escaped from a shitty job that was so tedious and repetitive that a mindless robot could replace you. In a functional economy, that's a good thing. Move on to bigger and better jobs.
@harriorrihar Honestly, why?
I've done shitty jobs and I've done rich and fulfilling jobs and I honestly cannot comprehend why anyone would choose the former over the latter.
In fact, I would use AI to change CEOs who think my work is tedious and repetitive.
@harriorrihar It doesn't matter what the CEOs think. Either your job is tedious and repetitive and the work you do can be replaced by a machine, or it's fulfilling and expressive and no machine could ever do it.
AI "art" is a great replacement for placeholders and stock images, but it will never replace true art that, at its core, invokes a human connection. Just as a mcdonalds cheeseburger will never hold a candle to a handmade one cooked for you by a close friend or loved one.
I don't make art, I am a worker who enjoys his work, in fact I don't care who is going to consume it later. I don't need that transcendence to have fun with what I do.
@LouisIngenthron
I like my shitty job.
