I thought some of the early banksy stuff was pretty good.
I'm sure AI can generate an original one of those that's as evocative because it deeply understands the human experience, has the ability to spray paint on public walls, is aware of trends and culture, and is similarly concerned about the rise of modern fascism and surveillance states.
Most stuff looks pretty generic, you're right. But there's actually been a couple times when I've been baffled by the output. For this one, for example, I just gave it my username
I think magicians love when audiences are willing to both believe in magic and maintain a respect for the secrecy of their trade.
I'll tell you what I know for sure: people from my generation are working like their lives depend on it to separate the new generations from their money using our triumphant new invention; so of course this looks like impressive art to younger people and no one else; you'll love the AI music we sell you too! And wait till you meet all the AI characters we've trained for you! You can sit, jaw dropped stifling laughter to hear the next joke designed to make you cackle so hard you piss yourself, in a room full of tailored friends.
There are still tons of real things in this world: they still inspire more fruitful wonder than we do for ourselves and our contraptions.
The pro AI art crowd in this thread seems a lot more dedicated to making us converts for some reason, but again that's just my take for what it's worth. 🤷
Why would I feel called out by a pattern I've seen a few times before and the generation before me saw even more than that?
You're like the dude in the other 20s, "you fools! Look to the sky! The dirigible has conquered the realm once enjoyed freely only by the birds and angels! I'll take a streaming hot DUMP on you from here! One golden ticket onto the glorious Hindenburg!"
Flies are just consequences of shit; I don't feel much of anything about flies I figure 🤷♂️
It's an infinite crap generator, which I can see why people are so enamored with it. Because people seem to want a seeming variety of generic junk almost instinctually. Just take a look at the variety of garbage available on all streaming platforms right now, the variety of garbage on YouTube, or even worse a single aisle in any grocery store: shelves full of crap that's often the same thing with different labels, substances that are utter shit on almost a molecular level but seem appealing or better than others based upon packaging.
Edit: Amazon is nearly a perfection of the instant, endless crap business model. Just imagine when someone hooks up one of these things to a 3d printer. You can then have infinite crap generated entirely based upon your search queries. Now if you'll excuse me I have a patent application to file....
