the key feature of "bad photoshop" was not that it was "bad" but that you could see the hand of the person who made it. "bad photoshop" is a triumph of human will over technical stumbling blocks. it's why the shaggs are magical and AI Music Slop is forgotten before you can even finish listening

I think it is great that generative AI has made you all productive*, but I don’t think that’s the adequate response to what I believe it’s the main criticism: the Internet is being flooded with horrible content generated in a exploitative way

People who miss the experience of going to Blockbuster to browse the rows of VHS and DVD's- you may not realize this but most public libraries carry a selection of new and old films. You'd be surprised what you can find just by visiting a place that will loan you books. Support your local library.
