A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

And how is an AI system going to identify that or not?
Also I don't really like that definition for art. Feels kinda pretentious/gatekeeping. But inevitably that does lead us to what even is art.
After like 2 years of arguing with AI dipshits, the conclusion I've come to (and it's not really that novel) is that art is as any other language, like English, or body language, and I mean that literally, like body language, and its value is in whether you like listening to the person speaking.
This goes for SpongeBob, Dune, The Lord of the Rings, Reservoir Dogs, "Epic Fart Sounds 10 Hours" on Youtube, and any child's crayon, stick-figure drawing of their own house.
I would be more agreeable to that as a definition of it. But then some people do like AI output. As far as stuff other people make it's harder to say.
But to make it myself, that means a lot more. Even if it looks clearly worse than what I could buy or generate with AI.
If enough people collectively decide that AI art is art, then it kind of is. That's the nature of social constructs.
I reject this. Loudly and with purpose. Art is not art without a conscience to speak it, to make it. This is half descriptive, half declarative. I have no desire to cede any ground to these solipsistic, inhuman, vampire people.
The mere idea that your wife could be replaced with a rubber doll if it were made convincing enough is... fucking absurd, and worthy of the most extreme contempt imaginable.
