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

it’s amazing because most people who have a bunch of tattoos will, when asked “what does it *mean*?” by a complete stranger, respond with some variation of “none of your business,” and/or “go fuck yourself.”

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.

I don’t watch too much original series, but I’m absolutely weeping with this episode featuring an alien animal which is blatantly just a dog in a wig with straws poking out
