What I mean is like, what do you think is unironically awesome, even if people now think its cringe or stupid?
AI art (and AI in general). The amount of misinformed and outright wrong bullshit that gets levelled at me when I defend AI or point out something false is ludicrous. Almost every single argument against it was levelled at photography a century ago, much of that was levelled at pre-mixed paints before that, and what’s left is either flat out wrong, or levelled at the wrong place
Wait but why would someone defend ai art…
Like the only reason I can think of is it maybe makes someone who is lazy feel good about themselves because they make a computer generated picture with zero effort (while stealing from real artists and feeding the megacorp machine) ?
Sorry, this is on the same level of saying “well they denied electricity at first and this is just like that!” Braindead take.
Carry on. (Yes im reinforcing your comment by even replying here, ha!!)
Yes yes, “electronic calculators will steal jobs”. “Electronic calculators will make us dumber.” People have been crying wolf about technology for decades.
