  • I'm not sure what you're driving at. It's true that the rise of photography had an effect on painting such that styles which moved away from realism became the norm for a while, but long since we've seen a shift back to realism and a continuation of detailed portraiture or landscape illustrative techniques among some artists.

    My point simply is that people who lack the technique/talent to create "fine art" have come to believe their work is of no value, which I find upsetting because I'd much rather look at "bad" human-produced art than generated slop with the superficial appearance of fine technique.

  • AI generated anything relies on training data based on the real thing, so there's no way to use a generator to "ethically" produce images of something unethical because it's based on the unethical imagery. There's no pathway out of the original abuse.

  • This is actually a really good point. Culture paved the way for the sheen of hyper "detailed" AI art (many of the details fall apart on close scrutiny, but I digress) by making it seem like "amateur" art is bad while "professional" art is good. So that means if a tool comes along that supposedly makes it so you can sidestep sweating over your amateur art and go straight to pumping out the professional-looking stuff, that's a win. It's good to question this assumption.

  • I let my Max subscription lapse some time ago. A smattering of decent HBO shows and one or two great ones is just not worth it. Zaslav has been running this company into the ground. Apple TV+ smokes Max in value. And now they're realizing maybe dropping the name "HBO" off of HBO was a bad move? LOL

    But hey, he's making big bank so it's all worth it…for him. 🙄
