This is a really good way of looking at art -- "The conversational partner changed" is SUCH a good way of phrasing how I personally see art/writing/music/etc.

Original post: www.tumblr.com/shinesurge/7...

A Tumblr post from user shinesurge with the text:

Honestly I can tell you finding out art was made by AI really does immediately, legitimately sour it for me, like people will trot this out as a Gotcha for anti-AI people but it's just making it clear they don't consider art to be the conversation that it is lol. It's similar to the way Harry Potter immediately soured for me because engaging with it while knowing the kind of heart Rowling is writing from changes the way the work feels; there isn't any moralizing or whatever that I have to do, it's easy to drop it because it's rotted in my hands.

"Oh but you LIKED this song before, nothing changed!" The conversational partner did. A very large portion of what is interesting to me about art is thinking of why the creator chose that instrumentation, or what made them want to make the thing in the first place. Finding out I've been talking to a wall completely removes an entire third of the force that art is to me, and I can't argue that anything about art or its consumption is Objectively Correct but I can argue it's fucking boring lmao

Mars is currently in opposition (when Mars, Earth & the Sun are in a straight line). In October 2020 when, at its closest to us and just 38 million miles away, I made the most of cloud free skies, a larger object and lower air turbulence. Next time this close is 2035. #astronomy #astrophotography

Six captures of the red planet during October 2020 during which it reached opposition. The sky was largely cloud free and not significantly suffering from turbulence caused by air traffic (a particular problem where I live in London). One small benefit of the Covid lockdown days and nights! You can see lots of surface detail and the white snow capped polar regions. The variation in colour is largely due to how I processed each image plus my own personal issues with red/green 'daltonism'.

Here are some nice mushrooms

Here is the first floor #floorplan of my 🧠. Can you figure it out without the 🔑? I’ll give you a hint #1 is the Orangery.

Name the areas if you dare
or don’t.
