Fuck AI

Are you kidding me? AI doesn't make creative people more creative. Actually picking up a crayon or a pencil or whatever your jive is, and actively creating more, makes creative people more creative.

Also, lol, a former Shark Tank host pushing a grift, the jokes write themselves.

Also also, if you want to make art fast, cutting up some construction paper and playing with that is better, and more fun, than using AI by a longshot, and construction paper cutouts are the most basic form of art and one of, if not the first forms of art, that everyone in here has probably ever done.

even i, the uncreative one, understood that art is about the creating part. How you do it. The finished work can give a hint on what creating might have looked like. If someone spends hours fighting an LLM to get some results, hey that's art too. Good luck on telling an interesting story though.

No one needs to "LOVE Ai" though. It is generally pretty shitty. Sit back down, Mark!

My fave thing about creativity is raw efficiency. When I sit down to paint, I've already mapped out the most efficient way to create a completed painting (i.e. a product).

It's to put the paintbrush down and immediately Google what I was going to paint and just print out a picture of that instead. WAY quicker. I can do that in minutes as opposed to what used to take months!

Was this written by an LLM?

Creativity is fundamentally an exercise in brain plasticity. Enjoy your early onset dementia/Alzheimer's when you don't learn a damn thing for years on end.

I'm not sure, they didn't say whether I'll LOVE AI enough...

I was hoping, praying, that just ONE of the nearly 1000 billionaires in America would take our side and deliver us from evil.

Cuban is clearly on team End Game. Fuck the rich.

Why would I want to create some soulless approximation of my creative idea, when I could use my own brain, hands, and heart to create my idea exactly the way I imagine it?

Putting work into art can be a cathartic labor of love. I enjoy making things with specific people, music, or senses & imagery in mind. There’s also a distinct sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a work and saying, “I made this.” Putting a prompt into a machine can’t give me that.

All of the inadequacies and personal failures that prevented you from doing what GenAI does for you now are still there. Those things are why you were a failure before AI, and why you will be a failure after AI. The quicker you recognize that, the less time you'll spend being an obnoxious asshole and making a fool of yourself by larping as the artist you've always fantisized of being. You were nothing before, you are nothing now. Get over yourself, otherwise you will continue to be nothing until the day you die. Once you truly understand this, maybe you'll be able to fix it. Not before.

It's definitely a pathology.

Ah yes I too love it when I get results with none of the actual creative process, because the end result is all that matters

Those AI folks need to see it as the journey taken, not the destination. Until that happens the AI "Art Kit" for adults will always be a balloon floating towards a pin.

"Why use your brain when you don't have to?" Mark has had some surprisingly good takes for a billionaire but way off on this one.

AI is a new financial gatekeeper, we're just not paying for it yet because they're trying to get us hooked.

The number of gatekeepers drops because AI people are desperate to keep the ship afloat. Why worry about drowning when you have a built-in buoy, your natural brain, effort, and human perseverance?
