  > Non Figurative Abstract Art has no soul at all.
  
  Demonstrably false. Terrible concept borrowed from Hitler. The fact that Jackson Polluck sucks has no bearing on whether all abstract art sucks. Some really good abstact art can evoke a figure without containing it, an image enters your mind but you can't find it when you look at the picture. A flag is just boxes and stripes but that can evoke a historical era from another country. A Dixie Cup can evoke a specific decade. Just noise--if the artist has done a good job creating the noise, because it looks cheesy otherwise--can make people think of VHS or a broken Atari.

  @icedquinn @lanodan I forget which lobe; it detects something familiar, and then inhibits the novelty-seeking behavior. Allegedly, you cut up that lobe in a cat and the cat remains in exploration mode. Anyway, that lobe runs low on glucose, can't push the other lobe down. (I cannot remember which part of whats was mashing the other one down; maybe there's a neurobiochemist or close enough. I think a hippocampus was there, or was at least watching the other two.)

  @amanda @ins0mniak @anonymous @mint @Humpleupagus @PurpCat @lanodan @TheMadPirate @Zerglingman The StableDiffusion images have started to look the same to me, and in the same way talking to a chatbot two days in a row feels like the same conversation. A person churning out a million anime girls is going to toss some flourishes in or change style gradually or sneak in some visual jokes or throw down their pencil and declare that you can take this job and shove it. An artist has good days and bad days and good moods and bad moods.

  @TheMadPirate @Humpleupagus @PurpCat @Zerglingman @amanda @anonymous @ins0mniak @lanodan @mint No, I don't think so. Wildly different prompts from the same corpus will yield things that are the same in some handful of ways. (AI wouldn't *work* if it didn't, it's an accumulation of biases to jam in the ol' sigmoids.) The drawings are the same the way a conversation with a chatbot is the same.

  @p @PurpCat @Humpleupagus @Zerglingman @anonymous @ins0mniak @amanda @lanodan @mint It all depends on the model used. If you just use the basic model with standard prompts, then yes. they will look all the same. That's why we use custom trained models or LoRAs to generate images that do not look all the same to the run-of-the-mill Stable Diffusion image.

  Lots of art is mass produced. It doesn't mean it's not unique, especially where each piece is different than the others. It's the similarity across different pieces that creates fatigue and habituation.

  @amanda @anonymous @mint @Humpleupagus @PurpCat @Zerglingman @TheMadPirate @ins0mniak @p I quite think the definition of art is done for, regardless of the medium used, effectively because it's more aristocratic social status bullshit (as you put "an artist" vs. "someone"), than about things like communication or originality.
  
  Meanwhile AI-stuff being boring is a bit like how smartphones are all the same shit, and we've collectively realized this because we've all seen them not change at all for 10 years.

  Sorry, still doesn't make sense.
  Let me get two scenarios to try to understand this:
  1 - an artist uses the most basic SD model (the very first public release). What will happen is art. Exactly like pencil and paper. I am 100% sure of this because I did it with my work.
  2 - someone pushes a button saying "hey, AI, make a bunch of artistic illustrations please". What happens does not depend on SD version and can be art or not, depending on how it's implemented

Believing just because it is completely generated by a human it has "soul" regardless of the objective traits it the art, if it is trash or if the "artist" really cultivated the necessary skill to produce something aesthetically pleasing. Instead, we have the "inclusion" mob claiming that highly skilled illustrators are the same that talent-less gallery art hacks meanwhile AI can generate a 10 times more aesthetically pleasing image than those "gallery artists".

  Well, the flag and the Dixie cup, sure, but the Moire pattern and the last image, those do not symbolize anything. (Well, the last image I can't say for certain but I made the Moire pattern image so I know what I was thinking at the time, and it was because the image was appealing.)

  @TheMadPirate @lanodan @Humpleupagus @PurpCat @Zerglingman @amanda @anonymous @ins0mniak @mint Yeah, and there's the other matter: it puts a lot of low-grade commercial artists out of business by making what they do cheap.
  
  I mean, I think I've seen enough and it's gotten boring by now, but you think about something like brochures and flyers and things like that. First they were expensive, then printing got cheaper and they were cheap, and then laser printing happened and you could make that stuff in your house, it was accessible and affordable for literally anyone. So the thing about Stable Diffusion is it's like that but for low-grade commercial art. Schools and small businesses and organizations like that now have access to this kind of thing.

I see it at taking the best of the commercial illustration art essence and putting that again at the spotlight of art, a place that should have never had left.

  This is why I like design: it has no meaning except pure aesthetics.
  
  Some artists and authors argue for that in literature and art, but I think it falls short of the full experience, to say the least.
  
  In music, I think too much focus gets placed on the lyrics. The music itself should speak to us, and evoke something, whether psychological or external.

  @a7 @Humpleupagus @lanodan @mint @Zerglingman @ins0mniak @amerika @TheMadPirate @PurpCat @anonymous @amanda I think that's what he's saying. People that are writing focus on the lyrics too much but the lyrics do not matter as much.

  It does, but too many people listen to the lyrics. Schopenhauer said music was close to expression of patterns of nerve traffic, and I like that, although I also find a lot of it evocative, although whether that is second hand through mirror neurons I do not know.
