Develop agriculture and domesticate animals and become the first species in 3.7 billion years to finally beat the constant struggle for food and basically defeat hunger as a society and nobody says shit.

Draw one picture of a stick figure fucking a giant sloth on a cave wall and you will be known as the slothfuckers for all of history.

I am happy I had a chance to interact directly, because you did touch on something in this comic that I appreciate and I know AI is a very long way from taking from us, which is that "flow of an experience" that comes with art. You feel a scene, a situation, an exchange or a mood, you have an internal experience born from your own imagination and you want to share that feeling. Keep doing that and you will easily compete with the "Greats."

Keep at it, the next biggest thing you need is just consistency and patience. It can take a long time before enough people experience the world through your eyes that they start missing it and seeking it out.

Not enough people are calling him a grown, bald reincarnation of Elliot Rogers, he's like a scarecrow built from the dead remains of the world's weirdest incels.

Listen to a clip of Rogers talking in his car or some shit and then a clip of Miller screaming about migrants. It's uncanny.

There are not NEARLY enough subtle, cerebral comics out there, this is giving me vibes like the few good ones like Bizarro or Perry Bible Fellowship, lean in harder, make art and stories for yourself, not public appeal, you will get a much more loyal following and make bigger waves. (I used to be a professional artist, I know the pains.)

Also, yeah there are AI all over reddit asking how to be human, asking the meaning of things like comics and memes, the whole "explain the joke" ring of subreddits exploded in volume since reddit announced that they were going to partner with Google and AI companies to use the platform as a training ground.

AI is going towards some strange directions and it's going to be bigger and smarter than we expect. Eventually.

But it will be a long, long time before it starts making art like this, which gives a glimpse into an internal, personal idea or experience. Keep fighting the good fight.

A flashbulb or powder flash for a camera.

I cannot keep up with this "Pizzagate" scandal, it keeps going off in weird directions and I feel like I missed a story piece.

Maybe they're in Australia so they're looking at it from below/behind?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Also, I love your art.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

I will be there.

Good, we can focus efforts easier that way.

I feel it's a little of column A and a little of column B.

But what happens is all the good stuff, the bad stuff, everything in between, it just stacks up and stacks up. You get bored with a lot of things because you've seen it all before so many times. I cannot stand "new" movies because I've seen them all before in other forms. I am disappointed by tragic things humans do, but even with current problems in society, it's new specifics but the broad story is the same. I see people debating things that they were debating 30 years ago. I see people voting against their best interest just a few years after doing the same thing.

What burns you out on life broadly, not in a dark, depressing way, is just the utter lack of novelty after a while. You will want to see more new things, you will want to travel and try new foods and experience new things, but even that all starts to feel cyclical.

After a point, and I'm not there yet, I am quite certain that I will feel a draw to a great unknown, because there's nothing new left here to surprise me.

I'm not the penguin walking to the mountains yet, my community needs me and I need them... but I always have a side-eye to the mountains and a little voice in the back of my head: "Someday."

I got it immediately, I thought it was clever.

Don't be discouraged by the minority of people and AI posing as people who have a hard time with subtlety.
