    AI art (and AI in general). The amount of misinformed and outright wrong bullshit that gets levelled at me when I defend AI or point out something false is ludicrous. Almost every single argument against it was levelled at photography a century ago, much of that was levelled at pre-mixed paints before that, and what’s left is either flat out wrong, or levelled at the wrong place

      Wait but why would someone defend ai art…

      Like the only reason I can think of is it maybe makes someone who is lazy feel good about themselves because they make a computer generated picture with zero effort (while stealing from real artists and feeding the megacorp machine) ?

      Sorry, this is on the same level of saying “well they denied electricity at first and this is just like that!” Braindead take.

      Carry on. (Yes im reinforcing your comment by even replying here, ha!!)

        Yeah that’s a damn fine example of a really stupid take. Thank you.

        Lets start with the amount of effort it takes not being related to artistic value, otherwise your pictures would be worth more than Picasso’s doodles, wh9ich is clearly bullshit. Plus the fact that’s ableist as fuck - I recently suffered nerve damage and so can’t actually control a pencil properly, and trying get painful, soi are you really saying disabled people can’t and shouldn’t create art?

        Now theft - it; not theft. No artist is denied their work, no copies are made, and it can’t reproduce their work. It can mimic a style but most of the people who complain about that are the most derivative anime-style furry porn artists (no offence to furry porn, but what they create is no high art!)

        Oh, and I agree that the best ai, like most software, is run locally and is open source. Disliking megacorps is not a criticism of ai

        So yeah, thanks again for illustrating my point

        For the same reason that we defended computer-aided art back in the day after people had the exact same reaction to it.

          And photography before that, and pre-mixed paints before that (the media dragged J. M. W Turner of all people for it!). I imagine many of the same arguments were used against pencils and brushes when they were first invented too!

    High school of the Dead. I watched the anime because of that titty/bullet gif. I freaking loved that show. Not so much the piss scene, but still.

      Vibe coding has a niche, which is people who can read, understand, and debug code, but can’t remember the syntax or can’t be arsed to write everything manually. It’s good for blocking in right now, basically, and that’s an entirely valid use of the technology
