Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I'm looking for an interaction with the artists. I do not care what an AI produces... and I don't care what a marketing team or boardroom of producers produces. I'm looking for an artist's vision.

I'm looking for an interaction with the artists.

How exactly are you interacting with them while sitting on your couch looking at a screen?

This is an appeal to purity argument. You've invented some higher standard (that doesn't really even make sense) with the purpose of excluding the thing you don't like.

Do you understand how art works at all?

[–] kmkz_ninja 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That it's an entirely subjective experience and to presume that someone's enjoyment of it means that a human had to be involved in It's creation is such a ridiculous response.

Have you ever seen the paintings that one chimpanzee made? They're actually pretty nice in composition. Am I allowed to like the way they look even if no human made them?

So long as it's not a glorified machine learning program designed to commit mass fraud and copyright infringement, then yes. Until then, go cry harder.

I'm going to think back to people like you in 15 years and smile at how naive you were.

No you won't, you'll still be sitting in front of your computer having gotten nowhere in life because you expected AI to solve all your problems for you and you couldn't see it's just another corporate grift. Like any sucker.

not wanting to see things you don't like. In art.

The audience responds en masse by tuning in, paying up, being changed, perpetuating the ideas back into the culture through the filter of their own personality, chatting about the thing, praising or criticizing the artist.

This is an appeal to purity argument. You've invented some higher standard

Nope. It has absolutely nothing to do with "purity." It has to do with humans doing the ancient human thing of making art. Dancing, singing, telling stories. You're bringing in the abstraction of purity.

Hollywood (in its crudest aspect) is already an AI algorithm for churning out trash. That's why I tune out already. Because it is not humans telling each other stories. It is pure corporate manipulation. More AI in the hands of producer-goons just means more corporate manipulation and less humans telling each other stories.

AI in the hands of an artist is a tool for exploring and creating. AI in the hands of corporate goons is the total opposite.

Then hollywood is the wrong place to look. AI can make it even worse, but hollywood has been mostly devoid of expressing artistic vision long before AI came around.
