Not that I trust these numbers even a little, but between 1900 and now there were two pretty big conflicts that might account for the reduced numbers of Europeans

Matt Groening is pretty hands-off with the show and it seems like he’s only in this because Conan’s famous now. It’s actually kind of weird to listen to him try to buddy up with a former employee he clearly doesn’t know well

That’s totally fair, he’s great. What I mean is I think the parts that tend to stick out in peoples’ memory are the really unique moments - ED-209, the leg gun holster, “I love this guy!”, etc. In light of all that, he’s merely a fantastically realized performance.

On the one hand, people have been calling her ugly on television since she was in her teens, and I don’t think that’s cool. On the other hand, this happened when she was in her forties and refused to go away, so I think it’s fine for comedians to make fun of her.

Maybe it’s a chicken/egg thing. I dunno. But I’ve never heard an AI guy give a rational argument for AI being art outside of there being nobody else in the process. They don’t, or can’t, or won’t understand what’s being asked of them, which is the first requirement of any artist.

And maybe this is the crux of it. A machine that makes pictures look fine enough without skill will only be used by someone who wants to make pictures that look fine enough without skill. AI can’t show the user’s flaws. It can’t make art, so the people who insist on using it won’t be artists.

They know this, which is why they lead with the “you can’t even tell!” argument. They think art is meant to *look* like art. Aesthetics are all that matter to them, because they can’t fathom that there could be deeper meaning. They don’t care.

The question of what art is goes back centuries, if not millennia. New technologies have introduced new questions about the nature of art. These idiots can accuse me of gatekeeping all they like, but they’re the ones who interjected into the conversation. They have to justify themselves now.

I disagree. The picture my phone takes when I drop it is not art. The paint dropped on the sidewalk is not art. A picture created in the absence of an artist does not confer the title to the next in line, it simply creates absent art.

The meaning of art has been debated over centuries, and if AI is a new art form, then its practitioners have an opportunity to redefine the relationship between art and artist. They tell us they don’t understand the question. AI *is* art, because it makes pictures, and pictures are art.

An artist cares. Anyone living with the sickness that compels them to express themselves through a medium other than thought spends a lifetime finding nuance in shades of red. AI people show off the pictures they had a machine make for them, as they “improve”. They look the same.

AI enthusiasts push back, of course. It takes a great deal of work to get the AI to do what you actually want it to do. You have to choose specific words, I guess. They’ll show you their prompts if you ask. They never seem to if a red is crimson or maroon.

Someone making a picture of a cardinal using AI can command the machine to point the cardinal in a certain direction, or not. It’s entirely possible they don’t care about such trivialities. The picture exists either way. A viewer cannot discern the person’s intent, skill, or perspective.

The conversation you’re replying to wound up getting splintered off into two other arguments on the same topic, revolving loosely around the idea of choice. A painter painting a cardinal chooses which direction the cardinal is pointing; the photographer does not. Both can be art.

George Wyner would be giving the funniest performance in most other movies but Moranis is so silly he comes off as the straight man

We tried running 99% Hitler and voters said no, I don’t want to vote for Hitler. But we *haven’t* tried 99.9% Hitler.
