I think that one of the reasons nerds hate Avatar so much is that it exists and is wildly successful pretty much entirely outside of The Discourse, and so is proof that the Age Of The Geek is not the dominant and enduring cultural epoch they want and believe it to be.

It’s amazing how faithful The Muppet Christmas Carol is to the original novel.

So glad you guys all hate AI as much as I do
Also, Art is about intentionality. We respond to art because we assume that the artist made meaningful choices, even the small details.

AI makes decisions arbitrarily. Even if it seems good, it’s a fluke. It didn’t mean it. It doesn’t understand anything.

Or finding out it was plagiarism, which is pretty dang close to finding out it was AI

ffs there is a whole-ass four hour video on this that grapples in significant part with how people feel negatively about something they liked when they discover it’s plagiarized youtu.be/yDp3cB5fHXQ?...

Even the language use to discuss art refers to the choices an artist made during production rather than the mere end product.

“Oh I love the language he uses here!”

“The colours convey a somber mood”

We admire art where the artist expresses themselves through intentional (not arbitrary) choices.

Art is about intention and is a form of communication. There is no intention behind AI slop. Also, being programmed to produce the most statistically likely result ensures all output is inherently derivative. It's purposely built to be a mediocre making machine.

I think what AI bros fail to understand about art is that details are the whole point. the choices the artist makes during the process add meaning to the work. Deferring those smaller choices to a machine makes the decisions arbitrary.

Why are the curtains blue? Because the AI chose it 🤷‍♂️

My favourite thing about being an artist is being able to create stuff that I think is cool. Like I’m just thinking “damn I would be cool if that existed” but then I’m like “oh wait… I COULD DO THAT!”

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.
