Hehe “borrowed”
If what you need is a constant stream of ever-changing imagery that you don’t glance at for more than a second or two before moving on, I’m sure AI is great for that. So are jangling keys and those slime ASMR videos. But if that’s what you want from viewing or making art, you are an alien to me.
What does that phrase even mean? Asking something else to make something for you is not artistic, so it can’t be that. People who commission other humans to make things aren’t suddenly artists. If they literally just mean consumption of images, it’s not as if web searching for images has been difficult for the last couple decades at this point. If you don’t care about art at all and just want content, there are lifetimes of things you could look for readily available to indulge. Just start typing and away you go! Literally the only thing that has changed is that now you are accelerating dead internet theory and removing human interaction from what you consume. Of course, if you don’t care about art that is a moot point, since human self-expression and communication never meant anything to you in the first place.
At best, the phrase should be specialized, on demand consumption of niche content is more accessible, not art.
Artists understand that art is primarily about self-expression. Non-artists often instead think art is about producing nice pictures. When all nice pictures come with self-expression baked in, the two groups seem to be on the same page, but when a computer makes nice pictures that are completely devoid of self-expression, we find out they’re not on the same page at all.
I wholeheartedly agree with you, OOP is mocking the supposed barriers to art that AI users will bring up as an excuse to use AI.

but you can definetly make it into self expression if you know how to express yourself.

But it’s your “mistake” (remember, we don’t make those), not something implanted into your head from the outside.

No, sorry, you don’t see my point. You’re presented by AI with an image that isn’t yours and it overwrites the one that was in your head because it’s vaguely similar. It’s killing your own imagination in favour of an inferior “version”. The one with your “mistake” is yours only, it came from your head and nowhere else and it might lead to something so much better than anything by an AI that you settle for because it’s “good enough”.
Oh yeah, I forgot everyone is born with inmate talent, time and privilege.
I forgot every artist had all of those things in spades
“innate talent” is a pervasive idea that undercuts years of work and practice. art is HARD and most people just don’t find the doing part to be fulfilling.
everyone wants to make a masterpiece, but no one is born with some kinda artist-gene that gives them the ability to do so as if by magic. outside of savants at least, but that’s a whole other thing lmao
wrong, you’re just too much of a coward to make shitty art and say it’s yours. it’s a hurdle that all of us had to get over

why are you assuming that someone who wants to make art would have a phone anyway? some people are poor
deleted by creator
keep in mind that 40% of the global population doesn’t own a smartphone.
that’s billions of people that you’re leaving out of your analysis which doesn’t sound very fair to them. you don’t understand poverty because you’re assuming your living conditions will be the same as theirs.

you have to consider whether the points you make reflect the reality of billions of people on earth. i don’t know what’s so hard about it
You could run it on your own PC instead
Then instead of a subscription, you’re paying for a gpu and power. Not everyone has the money for a computer, but pretty much anyone can afford a pencil and paper.
Forgot the
Disability
Part
Society thinks everyone is able-bodied. Until a machine is made so I can draw directly with my mind, creating art is a pipe dream. I need something that doesn’t require any type of force, so no pencils, pens, mice, etc. I always associate the word “accessible” with disabled people so this meme was funny to me.
I mean, pen plotters allow you to draw anything even if you can only type and they are definitely used to make some beautiful art. And if you can’t afford that, you can probably create algorithmic art on the device you are reading this comment from!
Thanks for the suggestion, but after looking into this it would not work out for my disabilities.

😮💨 Sorry but I am not looking for suggestions that I have to explain why I’m too disabled for it to work. Speech to text will not work.

I am going to try to say this as polite as possible. You should never compare people’s disabilities, especially in an attempt to invalidate them. No one has insulted disabled artists, however you are being offensive. I see you have been led astray by the second person, but this is just … off-putting. Yes there are people in wheelchairs who can work, and those who can’t. The first group does not make the second group lazy. Some disabled people will have certain activities they cannot do and no amount of individual practice/hard work/effort will change it. Being a member of a group does not exclude them from being offensive (women can be misogynists, etc.). The second person is literally using their status as a disabled person to put down other disabled people, I mean wtf.
People can have opinions about AI or dislike it, the problem is that a lot of Anti-AI people don’t understand that facts must be based on and supported by reality. Something that isn’t the case with this argument considering that:
- There are open-source volunteer run services that are in fact free, and open-source (@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com already mentioned the AIhorde in the other thread), and to add to that…
- There are low power models that can run on a standard GPU and cooling, if one has a gaming PC they can run it themselves for the price and energy usage of a gaming session.
You can dislike that people use AI software, but the things you say need to align with reality otherwise it’s lying and it costs you credibility. Strawman arguments and ad-homeim aren’t going to fix that or make you seem more right. At the end of the day people are entitled to their own opinions. However facts rarely care about people’s feelings, and in this case they don’t care about yours. I await the logical fallacies that people will spit out to try and combat this.
