This is some INSANE shit for you to be saying in the context of this conversation.

Are you really willing to claim that the mockery of human suffering is an art form worth engaging in and to be discussed seriously?

But the “AI version” was premised on the idea that doing it was immoral, it was saying that people in favour of AI art would genuinely act like that and believe they were in the right. It would be horrific to treat that as though the piece needed to be “fixed”. The post in question agrees with you

Yes, exactly. It is saying “AI art misunderstands art, and what it means to be human. And that is offensive.”

I also vaguely remember it not even being made with AI, but (ironically) search results are so polluted with a million surface level articles that I cannot cite that.

The account that posted that fucking AI image literally has a meme about how mario jumps like a black guy and "grabs coins like a jew" from the 23rd of May.

What the fuck are you talking about.

leastinformednerd.bsky.social•19 days ago

Oh :(

It felt like the other post reads as satire but I looked at that post and yes, it's completely unjustifiable. I looked some more and the guy who did it just posts awful shit all the time. Also I found he talked about why he did it in a youtube video and he claimed to not know what it meant

leastinformednerd.bsky.social•19 days ago

and that he would have done it even if he had since he thought it was funny. It just read so stupid, and the language in particular reads so overtop that I just assumed he had to be making fun of it

I have no idea what you’re talking about

izzys.casa•19 days ago

This entire fucking discussion started because Manish mentioned someone posting an AI generated image to "finish" Haring's "Unfinished" and how the reaction to that made him lose respect for the anti AI art crowd and then veered into the "the idea" it was "premised" on.

that much is becoming clear

steveklabnik.com•19 days ago

The entire point of the piece is to suggest that AI is dehumanizing? That is a very serious question, which it is asking you to engage in, which is why it is art?

izzys.casa•19 days ago

Is that the point or is the point that someone posted AI shit on a fascist website to mock a faggot dying of AIDS.

You talked at length years ago about how you worked hard to never have to work on a farm, to never have to live that life.

And yet here you are, sowing.

piss.beauty•19 days ago

you've always shown a lot of anger online but you're going too far here. for your own sake at least, you should stop this.

I have thought about this post since last night, and just, i dunno. like https://bsky.app/profile/steveklabnik.com/post/3lqfsd7gssc2z

i would consider you a friend, yet i don't know how to reconcile that with someone who decides to deliberately invoke something incredibly painful and fresh for me in order to cause me more distress
