Those are thingamabobs/whatsits. 🤓

And if I remerber correctly: The quicksave function is diegetic, i.e.: explained in the lore of the game (since savescumming is pretty mandatory in these kind, of games).

Some podcaster I know who happens to also be into some martial arts always comments that Bruce Lee was way overrated. I got no idea about that, tho, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How were they able to sue Palworld, then?

“Putting a piece of yourself” is magical thinking to me.

It’s a metaphor. You’re ndt supposed to take those literally. 🙄

Any creator will inevitably put their worldview and skill level into their art. So-called “AI” has neither.

Ai makes mistakes too

Those mistakes stem from a mathematically inaccurate model. Human mistakes tell something about the creator

people rant endlessly about how useless it is and that is what people used to call ‘slop’.

Not why it’s called “slop”, homie.

f a human making the mistake makes it desirable instead then this is once again not the reason but a justification.

Not what I said. Any detail in human art is there because a human put it there. It’s a form of (sometimes involuntary) communication that computers lack.

But that’s the issue, you don’t know what oop prompted to make this. They could have been arbitrarily simple or elaborate with what they asked and you couldn’t tell beyond that they were happy with this result enough to post it. And I’d argue the amount of intent in a prompt is still independent of its length as they could’ve tried longer descriptions and found that the results of shorter ones align with what they seek better.

Again: not what I said. I’m saying that the intent behind so-called “AI art” starts and ends with the used prompt.

I choose to believe the joke came from them and given that this is an internet meme that exists to deliver the joke, I don’t dwell on the visuals.

Then you choose to be complicit in the normaliztion of so-called “AI art”, which leads to tangible problems in the real world.

Intent is a concious thought. Just because the artist had an intent while making the art doesn’t imbue every detail with the intent. Every subconsious microdecision doesn’t necessarily align with the artist’s intent and neither could I hope to extract meaningful information from them. I can only understand what the artist intentionally put in there. But I get what they’re saying, there are countless conscious decisions an artist makes while making their thing.

I disagree. The fact that art includes the intended bits, as well as the unintended ones makes it so interesting IMHO. The fact that you always put a little piece of yourself (as well as your artistic abilities) into the art is amazing and impossible to recreate from a machine.

Take the sanic meme, or “It’s Friday” by Rebecca Black. None of these people wanted to make “bad” art, but they still put it out there and the imperfection made the pieces so popular.

Anyhow, IMO the visuals of a meme is the last place to seek artistic intent. Especially with these ‘joke with visual assist’ kinds of memes the grand majority of artisitc intent is the joke with the visuals being a tool to adapt it to a visual medium. If anything I think the visuals of this meme have more artistic intent than the recurring characters of a webcomic strip telling a joke to each other.

Even the worst webcomic carries more artistic intent than some AI slop. You can clearly measure the “artistic intent” of whateis contained in AI slop: it’s the prompt. If I prompt an AI “Make a funny comic”, then the artistic intent is “make a funny comic” (and maaaaybe all the other prompts beforehand that I didn’t want to propagate).

This article by Cory Doctorow explains it quite well, I think.

The lack of artistic value.

Enshittification engaged. /j

Exactly. This is a bet that Plex is going to lose with the proliferation of Jellyfin.

TIL Germany is a feudalist country with all those statues of knights and kings standing around. /s

I am a banana.

Communism is when Lenin statues, got it. /s

Does Putin want to abolish private property, too?

Cause homie: If being imperialist and proud of your problematic past makes you communist, then I guess all hail the people’s republic of the USA. /s

As if there weren’t 100 bazillion Poseidon pictures on the web to use for free already.

Again, the support of the women in the russian revolution is simply ignored to simp for some sacred vanguard.

They’ll go out of business either way.

As if intensity is what makes ideologies bad. 🙄

The biggest imperialist in the world is a war monger? Whatever gave me that idea?

Do you know what a proxy war is?
