Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The hell is wrong with people. It can't even be art by the very definition of art. It's literally just lifeless pixel mush done by nobody, showing nothing, meaning nothing.

I'd like to agree, but:

works utilizing creative or imaginative talents

[...]

generally through an expression of emotional power, conceptual ideas, technical proficiency, or beauty.

[...]

There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures.

There is creativity needed to come up with a general idea of what you want to generate. Imagining prompts and workflows is more of a technical requirement than a "creativity" one, but this is part of the definition above. Programming e.g. needs creativity as well, in the form of abstracting real world objects and their behaviour into concepts / a formal language.

Would a caveman consider an oilpainting not to be art just because the tools have changed over time?That being said, generative AI is illegitimately built on top of the output of all humanity. This and the sheer amount of low effort slop out there is probably why people refuse to acknowledge it as "Art". But there has been art which constitutes a high level of craftsmanship one the one side, and so to speak "sloppy art" on the other before this as well.

It also needs insufferable amounts of energy and most of the infrastructure is in the hands of ~5 big corporations. This may change when the bubble pops and inference hardware gets available comprehensively.

We opened Pandoras box, there is no way back.

Sooner or later people would have opened this Pandora's box anyway, since they have been trying to do this for a long time, since the 80s, if not earlier.

60s*

Which is why I find some folks in the Lisp community incredibly hypocritical.

Yes, lately I'm becoming more and more disillusioned in people.

I got dissolution in 2018. But that has nothing to do with GAN.
