     The part I like is how all the online play is basically peer to peer and so they have this whole turnip market and everything but all someone has to do is load up a modded save file on a modded switch, go to the mod island to grab all the expensive crap you want, and then do local wifi with a not modded switch , at that point those items are basically legit.

     Extremely dumb take-
     
     - Art is discovered, not created.
     - ALL art is a derivative work.
     - If not derivative of other art, it's derivative of the human experience, which we all have a right to.
     
     Dumb dumb dumb. AI makes us 10x more productive. Adapt or suffer the consequences.

     Idk about art is discovered, anything created can be considered an "art"
     I do agree to the rest of the points.
     
     Also that person is a moron, and is butt hurt that their art or their favorite person has competition.
     Remember when video games was not considered "real" art?

     @alex AI art isn't real art and can never be, but there's zero reason to get upset over a random guy generating pictures for fun. Sad reality is that art isn't and never was a viable job as it is and this changes very little. People using AI to generate memes, cursed pictures, shitty porn, etc never would've paid for art either. Unfortunately this guy is too stupid to be outraged over something that matters

     by that logic nothing anyone who has ever done or thought who hasn't spent their whole lives in complete isolation is just producing derivative works

     @NonPlayableClown Here's my problem with the idea that art is created versus discovered:
     
     It's egotistical. They think they are so special that only THEY can come up with "real" art.
     
     Anything that can be created has always had the capacity to exist, it's simply a matter of uncovering it. Humans are products of the universe. To look outside is to look into ourselves, and vice-versa. Art is the universe expressing itself through us. It's not owned by anyone.

     AI art is good because it makes Twitter artists sad, and I hate Twitter artists. I read this schizo blog post about Twitter art a while back, lemme find it.

     @alex "If you didn't already know, AI art is shunned in the art world."
     So are most talented artists. The art world is full of narcissistic fart-huffing posers who giggle to themselves about how they can put dog shit on a canvas and sell it to the public. I welcome our robot overlords.

     i know your point is bigger than that but in this case its just a reddit post of some stuff they generated for fun, i don't see how anybody lost anything due to this being shared (though i don't really see it in a lot of other instances either)
     
     i use AI to generate assets so that i don't have to trawl through 100s of watermarked electron microscope images and its been very handy for that, i never really understood the violent pushback for something so useful

     @opal @alex @Twoinchdestroya Somewhat correct. I've fed AI ideas that I've had and it's added a little more too, so it can go both ways.
     
     At the very least, current iterations of AI are excellent for "throwing spaghetti at the wall", it helps to generate and refine ideas and concepts quickly. It's extremely useful for that.

     @alex Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of artists don't seem to think too critically of how they learned to draw or write, or what they base their works off. These people act like they don't use references, or were ever taught or inspired by anything made by anyone. All that they create was revealed to them in a vision.

     I feel like that's all a matter of perspective.
     I think the problem you have is people (particularly elitists) saying what is art is.
     
     Anyone can create art. And it's not necessarily all about sculpting and canvases either. Engineering, programing, documentation, and cooking can be an art.
     All of which created by the folks that work in that field.
     
     I'd argue that art discovery will be more of a result of ego.
     Who are those that discover it?
     Is it not considered art if an art Broker considers as not?
     It becomes very tribalistic, and subjective.
     
     Art is created and can be created by anyone or anything.
     Though it doesn't mean it isn't free of criticism 🤣
