At least I don’t think it’s pretending to be real, or to be great art… if it weren’t for the thievery aspect, I wouldn’t mind AI as a tool, in the service of a joke…
Just like in creating sci fi scenes, and characters, or designing … I dunno…. safer airplane wings. IF it’s done with a closed loop of creator images.
It’s stealing other people’s art, photography, writing and other creative work, and scrambling it into new content, and calling it your own, selling it as your own, that I object to most.
I know I can’t object to computer created content, or hold back the tide… It’s the future, just like TV was the scary future to movie producers, 75 years ago. It’s coming. It’s here.
But creators should actually create it, with a boost from what they legally and ethically programmed it to do
Someone asked, a while back, what if artists give their permission, give their work…. but they’re not asked. Their works are ingested, behind their backs… digested, and spat out in derivative content. That’s just wrong.
AI needs to stay in its lane. It’s an amazing, now essential, tool in science.
AI does a great job of sorting through vast quantities of data. And modeling theories from astrophysics to biological chemistry.
But i want my art made by people.
That’s why I like art produced by Kelly Boesch. Her work was shown here about a week ago. It’s obvious she used AI to produce it, but the videos do follow the music and there aren’t any extra fingers or other appendages to distract from the scene.
I remember a friend asking me, in the 70s, to pick up cigarettes for her when I went to the grocery store. They had a machine for single packs, instead of selling them at the checkout.
I didn’t know what they should cost. My friend was angry cos I paid $1 in the machine… I think she was expecting maybe 75¢.
Aren’t they $10 now? Insane.
Not long after my friend got mad, an older friend got cancer. I started refusing to buy cigarettes for anybody, and I still won’t.

I think the corgi gives it away…
Yup.
Sisters? 🙂
Think monarchy.

They don’t show the tow truck waiting to haul you out when you get stuck.. (BTDT)
And it’s really bad news when the tide comes in.
and it was. (That’s how the towtruck driver could ask for so much…)
Yeah – been stuck on the beach before too. Not fun. The more you try to get out, the deeper you get yourself.

Nope.
“Don’t try this at home.” (Don’t try this anywhere!)
I’m on a beta-blocker – one of the side effects is dizziness. I often look like the guy in the photo just walking on solid ground.

Can you say “bat-shirt crazy?” Sure you can!
Please don’t try this at home.
Or anywhere!
Re yesterday:
Here’s the complete documentary – “The Hunters” (1957):
Thank you!
That must be it!
Too late at night to watch right now, but I will tomorrow.
I watched that a long time ago!
As did I.
I always wanted to find it again.
Thank you for the reminder, Susan!

I’m going to bet shenanigans.
Funny, i hope i’m wrong.
You’d win with that bet.
I’m sure it’s AI.
It’s funny though.

They have been around since the dinosaurs so they have earned the right to ugly if they want it.
Hullo cutie.

I think you got the colors backwards…
I can’t figure out, at least, not at this time of night, what the colors represent.
Temperate, productive agricultural land, before the growth of irrigation? But the prairies have always been full of cattle and corn.
….
BTDT!
At least you don’t see those everywhere any more.

Poor dawg got kicked out!
…,
I’ve seen this before,b and wondered whether the photographer posed it on purpose. Probably… but what if it was a sublime accident.
Or the young lady saying, like the Buddhist alcolyte at the hamburger shack, “Make me one with everything.”
find the sun
…
That one even I can get!
My best guess is that it is on the other side of the Earth. It is 11:17 pm here.
