The Oatmeal with a good take on why AI generated art is poop. Bonus, he mentions Jurassic Park which remains the greatest movie of all time.

Oh my God this.

You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners

so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

It's legitimately interesting to me that we're now in the era where people have to question whether or not something is AI or not, but it's still also hilarious(?) to me that we're inevitably going to see a bunch of false AI accusations as well.

The timeline weird-ening continues! 🤡

People who don't like my music 10 years ago:

"This sucks"

People who don't like my work now:

"This is just AI slop"

Listen buddy I proudly make my slop on my own. I don't need AI to disappoint you. 😘

It's mostly CoD players saying this lately so I take it with a grain of salt 😄

Haha thanks man. But the current batch calling it AI are the CoD players who I'm pretty sure would be mad no matter who wrote it 🙃

This may not be *the* reason but it's a bad take and one that I hear most if not every time I have a serious discussion about it.

It's a developer's right to do it, but it 1000% gatekeeps people who simply can't meet the minimum skill bar whether it's a physical disability or ailment, or simply a lack of time to practice. It's as simple as that.

It's not good.
