I dunno. What is it communicating to me?

As Royal Prince Clown of the High Appraiser's Guild in Denmark, unfortunately, my opinion matters the most.

The bananamana gets credit for doing the Art Museum equivalent of a shitpost. I think everyone understands this intuitively.

The AI guy writes prompts. Maybe they do some touch-up after. But, this leaves a lot on the table: where is the museum curator filling in the little birds in the sky? Or the pedestrian across the street who makes it into some generateds and not others? Or the row of planets that, in video, turns into a guitar that then turns into a gas cloud that then turns into a trumpet-planet-thing that then dissolves into nothing? They live in the machine. A machine that doesn't know what a pedestrian is, that doesn't know what a trumpet is—It's just visual noise. It may as well be TV static. It means nothing.

Why does the AI idea-guy think that their work should be interesting to anyone when it is 90% colorful jingle keys for me, the dribbling baby, to look at while observing their "concept": Cthulhu dressed up as a police officer.

Did you like that? Cthulhu as a police officer? That's my art. Type that into a generator and appreciate it for me.

The top 40 charts of music? 35 out of the 40 are pure crap,

Wow. This is a very old-man opinion.

imagine the majority of amateur fluff that people produce that are just low quality,

Are you comparing people's weekend projects to, I dunno, Marvel movies?

I like amateur fluff, you know? I look for niche indie games on steam or itch.io just because I want to see what people are up to—what fun ideas they have. That it seems to bother you they're not Casablanca is very strange to me.

And then they proved themselves by showing they do have soul and wit.

Consider this a challenge: make something with AI I actually want to see.

depending on the curator to do the actual creation of the piece

We might as well attribute that work to the curator, then, hm?

Does the artist also get credit for how high up the wall the piece was displayed? Which floor or wing it's displayed in? Because this is what AI prompter's claim. They paint nothing but enter painter's competitions.

You get credit for the things you do, and not for the things you don't. LLMs are built to decide for you.

The banana art resembles something made by someone who has no hand-eye coordination or technical skill required to make visual art,

Good thing they didn't choose paints or acrylics, then, huh? That might have been embarrassing.

Why do you think this is a gotcha?

the vast majority of human art lacks the real nuance and emotional impact real art carries.

1. It by-definition does not. The fact that you can't see this I think makes you an inhuman monster.

2. If this were true, why would I want any of it? Do you seriously consume art you think is garbage for no reason? Are you not busy? Is your life really so boring?

And a lot of that spam is now written by ChatGPT.

That lady, presumably, is one lady.

But imagine, for a moment, if satnavs had directed hundreds of thousands of people into this lake or that. Don't you think that would be a problem? Like, we put glass guards around whirring saws for a reason.

Sounds like you're the most replaceable. Bye bye, income.

Ohh, I get it now.
Wait, this is a good meme.
