Edit: Apparently this is satire or an art project

    It’s a shame so many people are being so annoying with AI. There are so many genuinely incredible possibilities.

      agreed. in the case of AI art, there are some legitimate artists out there (Rob Sheridan comes to mind) who are making wonderful use of AI image generation tools and incorporating it into their artwork and it’s SO cool.

      it’s a shame that so far the loudest people touting AI are the annoying “bro buy my latest shitcoin” techbros.

      Why does every tech bro want to replace things thay make people happy, like art with AI?? It’s so confusing tbh

      I thought things like low level customer service or menial tasks would make sense to replace first

        Because AI is funded and headed by corporations seeking profit. And things like art require skilled labor, which is expensive. Therefore if you can create a machine that reduces the skill required to produce something like art, you can pay the human less. Or maybe even remove the human entirely.

        AI will only - can only - benefit the people if it is headed and regulated by the people and for the people. As it is, it is only a tool of the ultra wealthy, and tech bros are totally falling for the bait and switch

        Because they don’t have the artistic skill themselves and they are parasitic by nature? So they latch onto a tool that itself is a parasite?

          How boring and dystopian would the world be without people creating art and instead it being created for profit by art instead of passion and love. I mean it already happens, but at least you need some talent to be successful lol

          In the future where AI makes all the music, I will become one of those old ppl commenting on rap youtube videos, “back music was art and beautiful” lmaoo

    This type of extravagant technological solution feels like something Aperture Science would make

    Looks like a lot of unnecessary extra steps for worse effect.

    It is incredibly ironic though because back in the days photography was attacked as the thing that would “destroy art”.

    I want to capture the thing I’m looking at. Art is an attempt to convey personal experience to another person with an unknowable other experience. Having the basis of art be other people’s art without at least personal control of the end composition is just all backwards. Not to mention that’s not a camera, it’s literally a different thing. These people get me so flustered

      AI image generation aside, this sort of thing might be genuinely useful for someone who is blind or low vision. It’s like alt text for the world.
