i just dont get how these people who type some bullshit into chatgpt actually think and feel like they’re creating something
the whole fun of art is the process and bringing everything together. knowing you saw some shit in your head and created it. what satisfaction could ai “art” bring its “creators” other than maybe tricking dumb old people who dont understand “ai” into thinking they have talent
I'm reminded that the arts have been heavily demonized as a career choice, so there are multiple generations of people who probably have no idea what creating something actually entails.
If you weren't in a STEM program it was widely believed that you would be a useless member of the working class, so now we have a bunch of Go developers who think their midjourney subscription makes them artists.
That’s kind of what confuses me about ai enthusiasts. It’s weird to me that they conflate using these programs, an experience which replicates asking some one else to create something *for *you, with the satisfaction of having crafted something yourself. Surely everyone’s created something in their lives and understands what that feels like. Like you can’t go your whole life without cooking a meal, making a birdhouse, a porch, a really cool paper plane, something.
I mean generally these AI bros were all incredibly chronically online gamers from middle class families who then went to study and grind a STEM degree while their parents paid for everything and then graduated into a 6 figure job where they can door dash every meal while they watch Netflix after work
I studied CS and I've met a ton of people who never swept a floor because they always had maids do all their cleaning growing up and so they just never cleaned anything when they moved out for college
The middle class families you speak of were also notoriously trad I’m sure. If it wasn’t a maid, it was their mom picking up their dirty laundry for them and putting the clean stuff in the drawers for them.
