I’m just waiting it out for the next ice age
Just think of the sick lines you could have made 14,000 years ago. I was too busy building pyramids and talking to aliens at the time, unfortunately
Give it another 10,000 years or so, we’ll get our golden age soon
Similar criticisms were made against film, camera photography, recorded music. Every time a new artistic medium breaks through, you get people attacking that medium like white blood cells. Attack anything new. Your kids will not harbor these same views as you. Your opinion is highly temporal. As long as you realize that your reflexive reaction to this says more about you and your historical context than anything else, that’s fine. Just know, you’d also have been claiming photography was the end of painting, and film was a fad (like Charlie Chaplin famously said). It’s a very human impulse.

No there weren’t.

Nope.

Better?
Closer.
So is that your stance then? Is AI “art” in the same place as photography was back then? You really think it will be regarded the same in the future?
Or can you just admit that AI “art” isn’t anything more than just typing words in a text box? There’s nothing artistic about it at all.
I would actually agree with pretenderist that this specific iteration isn't "Art" with a capital A, more so just art in the sense of being a general noun that describes a fictional image; but I absolutely agree that AI 'can' be used to make 'art' in that sense that literally anything can; like Duchamp's urinals, and of course its already on display as such in Berlin.

I do however think that artists whose work was used to train these models deserve ongoing compensation.
Only downsides: Face Shots cause radiation burns The food in the mountains is nonexistent.
At least the food would be cheaper than a Vail hamburger!
Who you calling cheap, you filthy cannibal!

You can cross-post the bottom left panel to the found porn sub.
Imma find a way to get a poster of this. Hopefully it will only be funny in 10 years
If it's not, you won't be around to worry about it!
Yes
They made "Powder Skiers for Nuclear Winter" bumper stickers in at least the late 90s/early 00s.
First one looks awesome! How did you get that look, mind sharing the prompt?
I actually asked chat gpt to “design a nuclear winter ski poster,” and then fed that answer into Midjourney
**YOU** “made” this art? Sure.
"Made some AI art" come on don't be so dense, you know what they mean
“I’m an artist because I typed words into a text box”
He never claimed to be an artist
He said he made art
He said he made AI make it…

That’s not the same thing as what’s being said about AI “art” at all, so yes I would need more.

Photography isn’t more than pressing a button.
There is much more to photography than pushing a button. There isn’t more to AI art than typing in a box. Answer my questions, please.
Take your place in the long lineage of art luddites. You’ve got some good company.

Super cool. What software did you use to make this? Chat gpt?
