"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

I dont think I have ever seen his paintings in a gallery. Why? Because Bob Ross' art form wasnt painting, it was performance. The paintings were formulaic because the goal wasnt to create paintings but create painters.
Alternately I'd say the goal was also to paint more than to produce a painting.
Obviously you're going to be proud of finishing the actual painting, but like people are saying, the finished painting is more a reminder of the experience than an object to appreciate on its own.
Almost all of them are in possession of his estate who doesn’t seem to even lend them out. Though a few are part of the Smithsonian’s collection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDs3o1uLEdU
