Alt text: a post from @lolennui.bsky.social that says: Once my German friend asked what creative people do without arts grants and other support in the US and I felt like a parent trying to explain to their kid that the puppies can die sometimes

If you want to see art though you can just ask a computer to make it for you

Boooo, that will never compare to the personal satisfaction of honing a craft.

Edit: machine generation can be fun but I promise it's not as fulfilling as finding something you love doing purely for the sake of it and watching your progress over years.

Yeah honing the craft of which key words to use

Tbh I've had plenty of fun with that too

And where did that computer get the artwork it pieced together?

Someone is going to say the same way a flesh artist does. But I think it's more than synthesis of what a person sees, its their lived experience

Well if they said that they would be objectively wrong. An AI puts no thought into it's creation, despite the misleading name. It simply is able to approximate an imitation of the artwork it's trained on.
