this may be something i might change my mind about later, but i don't actually Hate artificially generated aesthetic pictures that are like "fungus themed couch" "art noveau inspired camera" "stained glass bathtub" "gothic style platic chairs" or "really fancy sky" tbh. like i think there's lots of room for playing around with ideas and concepts using - applying some good faith here - public domain source photos or otherwise ethically/consensually acquired images. what DOES drive me up the wall is that every time i come across a set of pictures like that there's NO mention that it's artificially created. sometimes there's no source listed at all, which is really common for ~*Aesthetic Pictures*~ anyway. what's worse is when it's like, [Name Of Creator, Name of Collection, 2023] as if it's a legitimate art exhibit, with no mention of the program used to create the pics. that's actually pretty upsetting - the underhandedness of it all. ugh.

#my general current opinion is that i have nothing against ai as tools in and of itself #my big problem is that we live in a capitalist hellscape where the powers that be and the general population has no respect for craftmanshi #and all the problems artists already experience are exuberated by AI and how it's being used so far #you can't??? replace artists with AI?????? that is fundamentally misunderstanding what an artist does #it's not to Create Something Pretty it's to Create Something With Intention #'once AI can generate a movie it's over' an AI could only create an extremely bland and formulaic movie #like a marvel superhero movie or a disney live action remake. which are created by exploiting CGI labour and pumping out content constantly #an algorithm could never create everything everywhere all at once or undertale or something that has anything to say #(fun fact there's a recent scandal in norwegian schools where they made fake poems by a fake poet for english exams for students to analyse #and the poems are SO BAD the english teachers thought they were created by AI. they are ALLEGEDLY written by a real person but the problem #is the Exact Same as if it had been artificially created. it's a fucking venn diagram. it's a lack of respect for craft #and lacking workers rights.)#sorry about this the discourse is exhausting and i try to avoid it #people kept sending me the fungi couch :( i really like the fungi couch :(
