then the title is misleading

they can’t just put a game on their platform, the publisher needs to agree and set up terms of sale - if the publisher is going against what GOG want then it won’t be easy to compromise

honestly, i don’t really do hate, it’s not an emotion that gets invoked in me easily, nor does it last long. instead of hate i feel a mixture of pity, sadness, fear, and hope for a better tomorrow, and sometimes i run dangerously low on hope

don’t get me wrong, i don’t want the status quo back, i just want to feel hopeful for the future again :(

don’t mind me either way tbf, i’m romanticising the past when the world was barely any better than now, i was simply more ignorant of what was going on around me. i’m aware of this, i don’t indulge in that feeing too often, but sometimes i do

i just want to have hope again :(

i thought that once trump eventually gets exposed as a vile monster, people would turn away from him… and though some have, it’s nowhere near as big of paradigm shift as i imagined would happen :(

can we like… go back to subtle fascism please?

it obliterates my faith in humanity that if this was a fictional story it’d be described as “worldbuidling but the only tool you have is a sledgehammer” and yet that guy still has people that support him???

monkey’s paw curls…

wait it’s- it’s only been one year of US’s conservative administration?.. fucking hell, i kept thinking to myself “wow, a lot has happened, thankfully that means a lot of time has passed, and a new government is going to get picked soon:)”

i believe this is the job of science communicators who try to explain complicated processes and ideas so that people outside of that specific scientific field can also understand what’s going on

any and all UI changes will make people angry

steam has had so few of them compared to idk youtube that, imo it’s fine even if it’s kinda pointless

it doesn’t know what it was doing, it just writes something vaguely plausible

am i AI?

this didn’t happen because of computers, this style just got popularised faster through them - like pretty much everything else. breaking the rules to create a specific style is just a thing prople do

some people point to e.e. cummings but tbf, even without him we’d start typing like that eventually. it’s normal to want to fuck with the rules and make it a style

by that i mean - that an emotional reaction doesn’t make something art

i experience an emotional reaction when i step in shit too

the only pause it gives me is when i notice nonsensical details blending into each other, the only emotion it moves in me is then disgust and foolishness as i just spent time on slop that was not an expression of something, but an intentionless imitation of one. and it sure as hell doesn’t make me self reflect as it manages to be both shallow and hollow

it’s not AI “art” itself that sparked a conversation, no singular piece stands out as something people talk about (a piece that is more than just a more seamless version of the pervious attempts, something memorable even after it stops being the best at imitation). The talk is not about AI “art” itself it’s about the idea of it. Nobody points to a single thing AI made and claims that is proof it’s not art, because it’s not individual pieces that “make us think” – it’s the concept of an intentionless thing being fed human art and then making misshapen copies of it at the whims of people who can’t be bothered to engage with art at all.

sure it does make you think, but only if you - knowingly or not - treat the entire emergence of AI slop as a kind of performance art itself, any individual piece of slop is not the topic here

i’m reading enough into your comment. i literally explained why that wouldn’t change much

never mind a canvas, if the guy cared in the slightest about the “art” AI made he’d at least print it on poster paper

this experiment shows how even the “artists” just do not care about those images, and why would they? why would any of us care?

this shows exactly the core of the issue - every piece of art made by a human, no matter how good or bad (whatever that means), is a reflection of the artist. Sometimes they pour their entire soul into a piece, sometimes just a small part of them, but it’s always a reflection of them. So the artist will care about what they’ve made because it’s their own self, in a way. And others will care about it too, because we crave to get to know others, understand them, see the world how they see it - and art allows us to glimpse just that.

AI slop elicits none of those emotions, there is no artist to care about, no reflection of the self, no worldview to glimpse, no way of caring about it, nothing – even if it was you who wrote the prompt, you just can’t bring yourself to give a shit

i just hope Skyrim Grandma gets to play it :(

wow, it seems like it’s printed on printer quality paper. really amplifies how those who use AI for “art” don’t give a flying fuck about art
