Why Does "AI" "Art" Suck So Much? - EARLY ACCESS, AD-FREE, AND UNCENSORED
Added 2025-01-07 23:53:51 +0000 UTCHi. Today we're looking at AI-generated images, why they look like that, why fascists love them, and how corporations want to use them to cheapen the valuable work of creatives.
Comments
on the topic of what is art / the fascist disdain of art this older video essay (https://youtu.be/v5DqmTtCPiQ?si=V5eMp_gewWp-Ws5r) on the topic ties in some threads that I felt were very relevant.

2025-01-14 12:09:39 +0000 UTCJust finished the rough cut for my reaction video. It is absolutely brutal. You were incorrect so often that it took most of the full 4 hours to rip you several new ones. Mostly adding information rather than cutting scenes. I'd pity you if you weren't currently misusing your sphere of influence so thoroughly in this episode.

2025-01-10 20:20:26 +0000 UTCStranger in a Strange Land is a book full of left-leaning philosophies, and Elon is clearly a fan who didn't learn the correct lessons from it. I'd like to point out right here, since I forgot to say it in my video: Tom Hanks is also a huge fan of Stranger in a Strange Land. He has been trying to write, produce, direct, and star in it since the 1980's. I think his current goal is to age into the role of my favorite character, who is about 90 in the book.

2025-01-10 19:20:15 +0000 UTCI use AI art for D&D tokens to play in my games, real low level stuff. I wish I had the artistic talent to draw my characters myself, but I don't. I am not trying to sell these things at all. I also use AI to write official letters and to get some descriptors and such for my games. I will edit both as necessary, but I do not think that AI is the answer to everything and I think that AI does definitely perpetrate perjury. I think that it is a matter of knowing the balance of where and how to use AI. Are you using it for advertising/making money? Are you using it for personal use? Are you using it to write school papers and not editing anything you "write" with it?

2025-01-09 15:21:22 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this, I’ll be sharing the public episode far and wide. I retired from Software Engineering at Apple after 20 years in August in part because there was an artificially-enthusiastic push—driven very clearly by the demands of the financial markets—to “catch up to the rest of the industry” and shove generative AI into everything, including the developer tools that I spent the past decades working on. While the company’s implementations are more ethical than most (only training on things explicitly licensed, doing some very hard work to preserve privacy guarantees, etc.) there was no apparent thought among senior management about the fundamental ethical problem of whether these features should exist at all. So I gave my notice, stayed on for several months to aid in the transition, and am now out because I won’t have anything to do with that shit. I’ve been sharing Ed Zitron’s articles on this same topic and theme for several months now with my colleagues across the industry. Now I’m glad to have something to share with everyone outside the industry. Thank you, team. I’m proud to support your work in this fight.

2025-01-09 07:14:23 +0000 UTCThe keytar analogy is a pretty spot on comparison to the artificial hype around AI - it reminds me of the debut of the Segway, when people (who coincidentally had invested millions in it's development) were unironically saying that it was going to change transportation so fundamentally that we needed to think about how we would redesign highways to accommodate them - it's like if people kept repeating that for years and a whole subculture around the Segway developed while everyone else just rubbed their eyes a little harder and tried to see what nuance they were failing to properly appreciate about a pogo stick with a motor in it
