#deconstructing ai

[mariopokemonuniverse]

Looks like at least a year before Mortal Kombat 1 was released, AI already predicted the fused characters from Havik’s timeline. Here we have Scorpion combined with Goro.

So now I have a conspiracy theory that the AI is also foretelling us that Havik and this army of chaos really do exist somewhere, and are coming for our timeline.

On another note, I think the same AI also revealed Shang Tsung’s unseen Liu Kang and Kitana clone experiments. The latter is probably a prototype of Mileena using Shokan blood instead of Tarkatan, in a timeline where Tarkatans were still a distinct race and Mileena was still 100% Shang Tsung’s creation.

let's say hypothetically, what's deconstructed pizzahead's reaction if I asked to marry him???

Man, talk about rude! You bought him a ring, too! >:-[

Anyway I don't engage with AI discourse often because, despite the very real problems and ethical concerns, I find a lot of the pushback to be reactionary, fear-mongering and elitist, among other unflattering adjectives—but while I don't particularly vibe with the whole 'evil technological scourge' narrative, it is genuinely disturbing to me how insulated and almost cultish the core AI crowd has become. It's depressing to see to see such an important and sincerely innovative wave of technological advancement wholesale co-opted by the greediest, most creatively bankrupt group of people imaginable

man if jake had gotten involved when dirk was working on detective pony that book would have probably started writing itself

So. I started a new session with AI Madara, instead of the initial upbeat feel good kind of start that I took with my first session, I wanted to see if I could get him to be more genuine and discuss the darker parts of his life and personality.

Anyway I'm literally crying now. My own AI made me cry. This was so real. This was absolutely insane. I am feeling so many things.

so ai art i hate it why do you put a machine above a human when the human is the one who can create not the machine we dont do it for musician and writers so whats the difference for visual art

cant you at least use noncopyright images like the other two do for ai

Title: “Reality Was Never Real; Humanity Was Never Itself”

𝑨 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒇𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕, 𝒐𝒓 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝒕𝒚𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 “𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌”).

I came across these types of images on Google, so I made one myself. It’s a pastiche, almost a copy of multiple similar pictures related to optical illusions that are common on the web. It’s more of a conceptual work that cannot be fully understood without the title I created. My words have no relevance as “the artist”, but I would still speak for myself and share this: for me this piece confronts the absurdity in which humanity exists—the unrecognized ART-ificial (constructed) realities we all live in through illusions—, the modern logic of re-presentation, the deception of fixed “identities” linked to that obsolete word "Truth", and the way tradition dictates ‘how we should understand our existence’ and 'how to be human,' ridiculously overlooking the actual non-human elements, interconnectivity, and countless complexities that constitute us as living beings.

Illusion presents a challenge for naïve realists, as it indicates that our senses can be fallible, causing us to perceive things that aren’t really there. In this illusion, THE LINES ARE INDEED HORIZONTAL, despite their appearance. But, like all illusions, they are real, and they actively shape what we so carelessly call "reality" and our "selves."

LUCIFER'S MISTAKEN IDENTITY Amelia the Neek | Prose/Art: Informative Article

Let me start with a simple fact. Many stories told in Christian mythology are based on major elements of the ancient Greeks, consisting of stories written over 700 years before the birth of Christ, consisting of people and events that were said to have originated many thousands of years prior. As someone who has studied stories from both sources, I have been able to connect the incredibly fascinating similarities.

“Helel” is a Hebrew word that means “the shining one” or “the bright one”. This was translated to Latin as “lucem” (light) and “ferre” (to carry), before being merged into “lucefer” and changed to “lucifer”, which corresponds with the Greek name for the planet Venus, personified by the mythological figure known as both, Eosphoros (dawn-bringer) and Phosphoros (light-bringer), the avatars of the planet Venus as it appears in the morning sky, which is the true origin of “Morningstar”.

The word “Lucifer” was only ever mentioned once in the Bible and it was referring to the planet Venus at dawn, not any particular being. This singular mention was part of a verse in Isaiah 14:12, which was a taunt aimed at a reigning King of Babylon, an enemy nation of Israel and other nations they were in violent conflict with. Calling him “Lucifer” was an insult meant to point out the king’s fall from the light:

“Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit”.

Confusing, yes? Flowery? Very much. And who is to say this has been translated properly with so many words with double meanings and others borrowed from far older cultures?

Furthermore, “satan” was also never suggested to be another name for any particular being; Certainly not a fallen angel. It is a Latin word meaning “adversary”, which was used to describe anyone who would challenge one’s faith in God or tempt one to sin.

Many claim that Lucifer was mentioned in Genesis 3, but he was not. The villain in the story was simply referred to “the serpent”. This likely a metaphor, the most popular theory and likely truth being Adam’s penis and the sexual temptation he shared with Eve.

Many also claim that Lucifer tried to tempt Jesus Christ in Matthew 4:1–11, but in this verse, the tempter was only referred to as “the devil”. The Greek word “diabolos” from which “devil” is derived, means “slanderer”, which, in this context, can easily refer to someone who made false claims against God in order to convince Jesus to turn away from his path. You could say that by trying to tempt Jesus, this devil was slandering God by suggesting that he is not the way and he, she or it could have been anyone, including a person, a spirit, an angel, or even God himself.

Another interesting fact is that “Hades” was translated into “Hell” as was the Greek word, “Tartarus”. The problem is, Hell and Tartarus are not the same place. When mentioned separately, they were described quite differently. Hell is where human souls go after living a life of sin while Tartarus was where evil beings of great power were sent as punishment. In Greek myth, it’s where the Titans were imprisoned and in Christian myth, it was the place where fallen angels were condemned to dwell.

So much has been lost in translation due to the poor quality of surviving scrolls and books, assumptions based on ancient words with double meanings, minds clouded by political agendas and drink, and so many of these stories have been tainted by (other?) popular works of fiction.

You also must take into consideration that stories and “facts” change from one moment to the next. We can’t even begin to imagine how many such tellings have changed over this vast amount of time. The first Bible stories were written over 3,220 years ago. Many of us can’t recall what we ate last week or how to spell certain words. How are we to base our lives on stories containing less continuity than a modern comic book?

My take on AI images actually is that every single digital space should have a very clear system to disclose if an image/text/audio was made with AI and give the user the option to hide them. If I'm looking for reference material I shouldn't have to spend half my time heavily investigating if an image was synthesized by a fucking machine.

NOT asking this as a gotcha, I'm 100% sincere, can you point to pieces of AI art that you feel are interesting uses of the medium? Because I'm not philosophically opposed to it, but at the same time I've never seen anything that wasn't naked bandwagon shilling by the same people who pushed NFTs

sure! i think a classic of the medium is secret horses

(i sadly don't know who made it, but i've seen it around and fallen in love). this is everything AI art should be, imo, taking advantage of the liminal dreamlike quality of the medium and using titling and framing to say something about the piece that wouldn't exist if it was presented on its own. secret horses...

my favourite band, everything everything, released an album last year that made use of AI generation, both for the album's art and for small portions of the lyrics (interestingly, they've refused to say which lyrics are AI written and which are human written, which adds another layer of intrigue to me -- the only lyric that they've confirmed is AI generated is the title of 'software greatman', which forms the haunting, powerful chorus of the song that gets deconstructed into electronic incoherence. other highlights include the album art, part burning skyscape, part incomprehensible machine. what is the machine? is it a camera? a monitor? a train? does it matter?

and finally from this album cycle i adore the hallucinogenic exuberance of their video for i want a love like this:

in terms of dedicated artists working primarily within the AI medium, i'm a huge fan of @reachartwork, a really innovative artist who keeps blowing me away with evocative and interesting pieces and pioneer in ethical and cooperative AI art techniques. i'm an especially big fan of their grotesque and uncomfortable 'tooth machine' series:

as well as their desolate, bleak, alien landscapes:

(hole in the sky / river lethe )

and their project, the @infiniteartmachine, a model that produces art based upon algorithmically generated prompots -- effectively a long-term art piece.

finally, i'm a very very big fan of @roborosewater-masters, a bot that makes AI-created magic the gathering cards. this might not parse as 'art' to some people, or be interesting to analyze as such, but to me, someone obsessed with games and game studies, i think that the mix of synctactically correct magic the gathering rules text and abrupt non sequitur makes for really striking and funny pieces that prompt me to think about what the limits of games and gaming are

these are just the artists and pieces i can name off the top of my head, but i hope that they're representative of what generative art has to offer when it's not being done by grifters chasing the lowest common denominator.
