    As a man I am so tired of having to be the Hindu goddess of Destruction, Death and Onions every single day of my life

      It really is treated as an easy job, like people think you can just cut the head off an onion no problem, but people don't care about the nuance of the job, you spill a drop of onion juice on the ground, a single drop, and a thousand more onions spring from it! There's so much skill involved in making sure you never screw up, and yet you see people making comments like "That looks easy, anyone could that"

      When you want to make an ai generated image, make sure it's something that really shows off the hands. Gotta play to those strengths.

    iunno how i'm feeling about AI art. like, i'm generally not a fan of presenting lowered barriers as a bad thing, but something about any dickhead being able to conjure up an image that, at least at first glance, looks very technically accomplished (before you notice the stray limbs and mindfuck geometry) has removed so much of what made someone posting pictures online notable. there's not even the art of someone collecting memes and applying them in a way that is appropriate or interesting, it's literally just someone typing in the most thoughtless thing into a prompt and posting the image result, and thus making the presence of images online less interesting.

    like, had someone tried to paint a surreal picture like that, it'd be fascinating to dissect, but because AI pictures are omnipresent, weird and surreal images are now just a sign of laziness instead of actual creativity that would invite contemplation. it becomes harder to just sit and think about how a strange picture makes me feel knowing it isn't any more reflective of another human being than the pattern of grooves in the paint on my walls - technically put there by another person but far more the result of the tool being used than any sort of creative process. and then knowing that i'm gonna actually pass over something that actually would be interesting because i assumed it was just another meaningless AI prompt.

      Learning art and honing your craft is a personal journey should be something everyone does in some form, what could go wrong with the commodification of that?

      No different from AI text in that way, it just dilutes all real content and makes everything shittier

      This is an example of what I don’t like about AI. Without AI, this tweet would have just been the comment “Life is not easy as a man”. Ok fine… not a particularly interesting thought, but whatever. So this person decides to jazz it up with an AI image. But they haven’t actually improved the communication or the message. I too think giving people more power to create art is a great thing but typing up some prompts just to create an image to increase engagement to your social media profile isn’t progress to me.

        It's good for making goofy images to share with your friends. That's what I do with it anyway

      It isn't a lowered barrier though. Nothing about making AI art helps people learn how to make real art. There is no connection. My big worry is that a lot of kids who could've learned to draw or paint will instead go for the easy route of just typing in prompts instead of actually learning a skill. It will make art feel less accessible, not more.

      Though I am really biased, as I really don't like AI art taking about a huge chunk of my work and preventing me from being able to afford food.

      I know exactly how I feel about ai "art". It is hideous beyond measure and every place that values anything about art or just human beings needs to shame it and everyone who touches the stuff.

      Do not legitimize anything about it. Writing "prompts" is as absurd as augury and less meaningful too. Do not use it for "inspiration" or sketches or suggestions. Poison your actual art work so it fucks their database. Fight this trash at every cost. Every scribble you do on the side of your notebook is worth more than the entirety of Dalle and Midjourney combined.

      I'm 100% Luddite on this. If I could smash their datacenters with a brick hammer, I wouldn't stop until my fingers bled.

    This dude absolutely sucks at holding stuff. He is holding three people, three kinds of onion and a birdhouse and he is about to drop all of them. This is a big problem because he is roughly three stories tall and is holding them over a paved street.

    Buddy you have three different types of onion, you can cook almost anything with this much onion variety to start with. Soup, curry, veggie fried rice, possibilities are endless.

    Things are looking way better for you than the one woman with no legs or pelvis you're holding in your six fingered eighth hand.

    only one hand has 6 fingers, impressive

    If this was made by a person, I might wonder what the significance of the empty hand was supposed to be. But it isn't, so I don't.
