Marcel Duchamp is not working on video games.
Marcel Duchamp does fit my definition.

I’m certainly more interested in his work than yours.

Okay, well if you’re going to be like that, I’ll talk to someone else:

An artist’s job is to pull together research, resources, history, knowledge, opinions, their own fluency in the language of the medium they’re using, and a bit of inspiration, and turn that into something interesting, or cool, or flashy, or thought provoking.

AI generation, even for the concept phase, skips 90% of that effort.

You can’t fabricate something with AI and then re-make it by hand later because these are two halves of the same process. By the time the hands are involved, there is very little left for them to do.

You don’t see the use in an artist viewing an approximation of the finished product

I don’t because that’s not what artists do.

Artists are not people who bring nearly finished projects over the finish line. And if your finished project does not look anything like your nearly-finished AI assets, what are you actually using them for?

Fuck! You’re right

Wow, this is really poetic.

It might be because I’m already reading something that’s ultimately about trusting other people and fermenting a strong belief in human kindness and compassion, but this is really doing something to me.

This is why I love airlines that double or triple book their seats.

Mmm, ehhhh, uhhhh, ahhh, I mean yeah, pretty much. I want more options and they can be pretty hard to find unless you really know where to look.

How is it Mean Girls-esque if they think they’re being nice?

Anyway, no, I’ve seen your other comments, you clearly have a bone to pick here. Honestly, it’s funny that you’re the one telling me about being the rudeness police.

I’m sure Katana is old enough to handle whatever problem may be here on their own.

Dude, you gotta chill.

Sigh, I knew you didn’t actually care.

Look, I love insulting people, but in not going to sit here and do this nuh-uh, yuh-uh, nuh-uh thing that you seem to want to.

Okay, what you’re describing is identical to everyone’s proverbial grandpa claiming that the gay man in front of him is dressed flamboyantly “just for attention.” I don’t believe that being a young, hot, American woman who is ‘based’ is worthy of pointing out. As far as I’m concerned, it’s immaterial.

You immediately know what type of person that user is trying to portray

What kind of person would that be?

I’m not asking as a personal attack, by the way; I am aware you don’t care that she’s horny.

Posting a news article is foundationally tied to which articles you’ve seen and which you find interesting.

It’s really besides the point, though. Violet being horny is no more notable than me being very loudly anti AI.

Everyone posts from their point of view. I’m doing it right now.

violet makes all of violet’s posts about violet.

No… she doesn’t…?

Oh thank god it kept the titties.

God, this is cringe. Like, it’s embarrassing to be on the same team as them.

To be fair, the nazis were pretty fucking stupid too. The evil-cool, machine-like, storm trooper aesthetic they’re known for is cultivated, at least by a significant portion, by nazis overseas that wanted them to be likeable.

Some of it is cultural momentum, for sure. I also like Storm Troopers. But nazis really like Storm Troopers.
