  • We don't don't need princes or kings doing PR. If we taxed billionaires out of existence we could fund that and so much more. This guy doesn't get to make up for whatever he was doing on Epstein's plane, at least not without coming clean first.

  • their argument is so broad it ends up also applying ti things like photography.

    That's what you said, so I take it as: if I give a definition that includes Photography, it will be regarded as too broad. But I went ahead and gave you part of a definition anyways.

    What I said is that Art is not a commodity. I will grant you that "wanting things" and "getting things" is a form of human expression, but it is not art, that is exchanging commodities. If you can express a Generative AI scenario where someone draws upon their "values" instead of their desires then you might have an example of art. So in your library scenario, what "values" are behind their desires for "digital art"? Or is this person just wanting a certain aesthetic?

  • Hold up, you think the definition of art is too broad if it includes Photography but not broad enough if it doesn't include Generative AI? Based on that I don't think it is possible to give you a reason you would accept.

    This conversation of "art" reminds me of the difference between "value" and "values": https://davidgraeber.org/articles/value-the-antropological-theories-of-value/

    If someone want high quality digital art, teaching them crochet doesn’t help them.

    This is a statement of "value" not "values". That someone wants "digital art" but there is no connection being made to their "values", they are simply getting what they want.

    Art is not a commodity, AI is.

  • Enshittification is a paradigm shift, but not one we associate with the birth of the internet.

    On to your list. Why does misinformation appear after the birth of the internet? Was yellow journalism just a historical outlier?

    What you're witnessing is the "Red Queen hypothesis". LLMs have revolutionized the scam industry and step 7 is an AI arms race against and with misinformation.

  • At our library we teach people how to do art, including crochet. If the person is able to go to the library then they aren't being gatekeeped from learning art.

    My alternative? AI art isn't even art so at this point we're just debating what is a better skill: crafting or prompting.
