@mttaggart @ainmosni @tante at some point we'll learn to celebrate and appreciate and nurture our humanity - which is the only real thing there is, rather than being transfixed by this or that creation of ours, whether that is imaginative story telling about gods and demons, or any of the technology artifacts we have invented.
Algorithms doing mass rehashing of existing images is not art. But it may become art in the hands of human artists and human art lovers. Art is a human to human API.

@ainmosni @tante Yes. It's deranged that we are building machines to do all the joyful parts of life, leaving us to do the menial drudgery.

One of the things that bugs me about the current generation craze is that it only considers the consumer, or worse, only the middlemen, of art (I will not call it content, as I really dislike that term) it never considers the actual producer. Being creative is so fundamental to the human experience, and the people pushing generation hard seem to be giddy at removing the creative endeavour as a valid way to make a living.

There's a twinge of sadness every time I see a cool image that I know was model-generated. Part of the appreciation of art is for the talent, craft, and imagination of the artist. Model-generated art not only robs the artist of the opportunity, it robs us of the opportunity to appreciate those aspects.
