Here's why A.I. art is a thin gruel rather than a nourishing cassoulet...
Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

Took a couple Tylenol this morning. Just enough for a day's worth of autism because it's trivia night night at the bar and I wanted an edge.

No one remembers that embarrassing thing you did ten years ago.

Everyone was focused on their own lives. They probably didn't even notice you.

They didn't notice you at all.

They don't know you exist.

You're nothing to them. Nothing.

All that how spewed by the Dimbest President in History, about how “bad” solar collectors, wind generation, and other forms of renewable energy are, got a poke in the eye, when Chinese scientists put the idea to the test. Turns out, solar collectors are beneficial!

Google image searches have been… less than useful, so I’d not used it in a while. I saw this cheesy AI image supposedly of Stephen Hillenburg, drawing SpongeBob, along with an ‘inspirational biography.’

Just curious, I tried a search,
and, Oh my!😳
I took a screenshot of the results…

also the nice thing about learning how to do something yourself is that no one can take that skill away from you. but if *all* you know how to do is write a prompt and hit generate, you’re relying on infrastructure that can be restricted/censored—and tech companies that can go bankrupt—at anytime.
