I’m with you on the morning people at least. I’m saying the tribalism is stupid.
I hate the Internet’s “extrovert vs introvert” tribalism. And it’s always the same two jokes. “Extroverts bad will suck out your soul and shame you for not liking it” and “ha ha we introverts use extroverts to get friends we don’t want friends we want to stay home and read and extroverts adapt us”.
and then people wonder why there’s a loneliness epidemic and complain they have no friends.
Insufferable


I love this idea. Celebratory hate bottles. It’s perfect.
I’d argue it’s going against the typical propaganda, which is saying that the poor, unemployed, drug using people at the bottom of the rung are miserable, stupid, hate their life and you should always fear that position in life. The solution presented is to work, for the benefit of a wealthy few. A comic that shows this station in life as desirable and good, that people living outside of the rat race can be happy, is subversive. It’s not saying “know your place and stay there”, it’s saying “you can still have beauty in your life even if you’re not wealthy”.
I see someone’s lived a privileged life and never lived in a poor neighborhood.
So, in wealthy neighborhoods, it’s not that people are cleaner and therefore somehow better than poor people. They actually have people to clean up the streets and yards for them. They also aren’t as crowded and don’t have as many shops near where they live. In poor neighborhoods, people can’t afford to hire people to clean up their yard and streets, there’s more people so there’s more of a chance someone is a jerk and litters, and there’s more shops so more people who don’t live there come in and also potentially litter. It’s an uphill battle to do it yourself all the time, so yeah, sometimes garbage drifts into your yard.
You ignored how clean and tidy the inside of their trailer is, where they have more control over their environment.
You’re exactly the kind of person who could learn a lesson from this comic but it goes right over your head.


Rice is literally one of the easiest things to cook on the planet.
We probably don’t use rice for shipping because if it did get wet it would get moldy, unlike sciatica. Doesn’t mean it isn’t effective.
Man that’s another level of “people who know”


Your example is shit. It would be more appropriate for when you commission a piece of work from someone, where they are using their skills and choices and you’re telling them what you want and don’t want on the sandwich.
AI doesn’t make choices when creating an image. It generates an image based off of other images and you hope that it gets something that follows some aesthetic principles that it’s lifting from other images. Just because you reroll the die doesn’t mean you’re choosing shit.
That “menial” process when you’re making art is literally the best part. When you’re painting a sky for the background of something you don’t want that just filled in, that’s where you can experiment and maybe even add an element that you weren’t thinking of before when you started the piece. AI can’t do that for you.


Way to shit on everyone who’s job it is to make those things.
Why do you think logos and so on have no artistic value? What defines value? Because if it’s influencing people and culture, then logos definitely do.
Corporate art sucks ass but it’s still made using choices, which ai doesn’t do.


Well I’m not going to slap you on the back and praise you for saying the equivalent of “I just eat potato chips anyway I don’t care if the new chips are made of styrofoam they still got flavor blasted”.
Also, I totally disagree with you. If I see a neat picture someone took from getting dropped onto earth from low orbit, I’m gonna think that’s way cooler than an ai image trying to emulate the same thing, even if I’m only looking at it for a second. I’m going to think a crudely drawn parody of a meme is funnier than an ai generated imitation of a meme, even if all I’m doing is making that little exhale with the nose instead of laughing.
There’s a difference. You can tell. If you’re so Internet addled you genuinely are saying you don’t think there’s a difference, then you’ve got like, negative skills in art appreciation.


If you think that it was an insult then that shows what shame you have for your lack of skill, not an intention on my part.


That’s like saying you cooked a chicken sandwich because you ordered it off the menu.


I was going to read this but stopped halfway through because my mind went “yeah that yeah another person who never bothered trying to draw having a hot take that’s just sucking off a tech bro”


The most generic logo from ten years ago still was made with choices by a designer. It’s those choices that make a difference, you don’t choose how things are executed with ai


Sounds like you’re not very skilled at art appreciation.


Don’t try for things because there don’t seem feasible before trying them, got it


Just because something is hard doesn’t mean we shouldn’t with for it.
Weird how it seems like it’s all for women and safe sex but then criticizes a tool women have to checks notes take control of their sex lives and make decisions about getting pregnant.
