Brilliant sleuthing Sherlock! You found a gap in my art output. Does that mean I'm not an artist? Does that mean 20 years of work doesn't exist? That's the accusation leveled at me and that's what I'm arguing against. You might think what I do is bad art but absurd and pathetic to say it's not art.

Thanks I appreciate it! yes i do more than a casual or naive prompter. But the fundamentals are more important: the algorithms and the intentions.

Code and AI are media and can be used to make great art, bad art, or nonsense. Let's enable creativity in all its forms, instead of gatekeeping "art".

Thanks! Indeed in 2008 I put art on the back burner, went back to a full-time job and had 3 kids. The good news is the jobs have been amazing & i've learned so much & worked with so many great people. The kids came out pretty good too ;)

Cool -- so much great overlap between art and advertising. what about this AI art? us.mullenlowe.com/work/the-sho... is that trash too?

i'm getting bored. if you come up with some new material, i might reply. good luck!

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

i could show you but instead i choose to demonstrate how ignorant and lazy you are, which further discredits your point. thank you!

btw, not all art is made by drawing!

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

even an idiot could find the prizes i've won.

was there an argument to counter? i didn't see it, just name-calling.

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

LoL can't be bothered to do any research before shooting off your mouth.

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

Your unhinged attack just discredits your opinion. "don't speak to me"? sounds like you have control issues. have you considered therapy?

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

why should anyone believe you instead of him?

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

Is that all you got? LoL

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

You cared enough to write a nastygram denying my identity, but not enough to learn who i am and what i do. You are just discrediting your opinion and your point. Thank you for making my job so easy!

Gen AI and LLMs are just more computers and more code. My AI work of today is of the same project as what we were doing in the 90s (and before). Participatory and Open Source FTW! Sorry you don't like it. You are welcome to your opinion, but even if you call it bad art, it's still art.

not mutually exclusive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropr...
but not how it works anyway. all artists learn from and refer to their culture of origin.

apparently you have no idea what i do and you didn't bother to check.

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

totally proud. maybe you just don't know much about it?

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

what kind of gatekeeper of the definition of "art" are you? apparently Ai Weiwei disagrees: www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Art that can be easily copied by AI is ‘meaningless’, says Ai Weiwei

oh no! please call the collectors! call the museums! call the foundations that gave me the prizes. you must understand art better than all of them...

Scott Draves @draves.ai · Aug 29

This AI artist begs to differ.

The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.

An honor to have been on the team. Reading and seeing the names brings back memories of good times and the good people who made it happen. Thanks Reardon and Patrick! Can't wait to try out the real thing!
