A last little addendum here, these arguments are about the definition of art itself and not about what makes good art. That is a whole other kettle of fish, and honestly, its entirely subjective.

An ai prompt, in and of itself, can be considered art because a human composed it. The ai output, however, absolutely cannot be art as there is no human involvement whatsoever in the actual creation of the image. Telling someone/something else to make something doesn't mean you made it.

In my eyes, art can be literally anything made by a human being by virtue of the fact that people infuse everything they create with emotion. A shitty hamburger made by a frustrated fast food employee can be art, because by looking at it, you can see/feel the lack of care and attention that went in.

There is this old debate in the art world about the definition of art and practical application. They said something can only be art if it doesn't have a practical use, as in a vase can't be art. It's a stupid definition meant to limit art to aristocratic circles. That is not what is happening here.

I think the real solution here would lie in the implementation of nation-wide ranked choice voting and dismantling the electoral college. This would allow a fracturing of political parties and actual real freedom to vote for representatives who actually represent you without "wasting" your vote.

Okay, all this is pretty simple. All that needs to be done is find a situation where middle and upper class were at odds and the Republicans made a decision that favored the middle class to the detriment of the upper class. I personally can't think of a single one in recent memory.

Okay, hypothetical: The main risk is the nickel/chrome plating flaking off into food, right? So what if I were to cut it down to single panel with a cutoff wheel, sand the fuck out of it with a steel bristle brush and steel wool till I've removed all the plating, and then season the surface?

Huh, that's weird. Every time I see one, I think of a chest freezer.

I agree with Spotify being terrible, but I think there is something being overlooked. Do my ears deceive me, or does this ad open with, "Redditors," is this Spotify ad addressing people on Reddit?!?

For a second, my American ass thought the tolerance was for the purity of the cellulose. Ah, yes between 95% and 105% cellulose... Wait...

It's funny you mention that. Take a look at, "The True Story of the Bridgewater Astral League"

As true as this is, do you mind finding an earlier version to repost? The jpeg's are getting a bit crunchy.

More than a decoration, that is the pawnbroker's symbol. It's 3 gold balls attached to a bar. Apparently, it goes all the way back to the Medici family.

Sorry about that, bud. I don't know what's with Adobe lately. I had a similar problem myself.

Actually, It's more the orange blight that took hold in the 80s and early 90s that crippled the industry. Fungus likes humid environments. California is less humid and has had less trouble as a result.
