the rise of AI art isn't surprising to us. for our entire lives, the attitude towards our skills has always been - that's not a real thing. it has been consistently, repeatedly devalued.
people treat art - all forms of it - as if it could exist by accident, by rote. they don't understand how much art is in the world. someone designed your home. someone designed the sign inside of your local grocery store. when you quote a character or line from something in media, that's a line a real person wrote.
"i could do that." sure, but you didn't. there's this joke where a plumber comes over to a house and twists a single knob. charges the guy 10k. the guy, furious, asks how the hell the bill is so high. the plumber says - "turning the knob was a dollar. the knowledge is the rest of the money."
the trouble is that nobody believes artists have knowledge. that we actively study. that we work hard, beyond doing our scales and occasionally writing a poem. the trouble is that unless you are already framed in a museum or have a book on a shelf or some kind of product, you aren't really an artist. hell, because of where i post my work, i'll never be considered a poet.
the thing that makes you an artist is choice. the thing that makes all art is choice. AI art is the fetid belief that art is instead an equation. that it must answer a specific question. Even with machine learning, AI cannot make a choice the way we can - because the choices we make have always been personal, complicated. our skills cannot be confined to "prompt and execution." what we are "solving" isn't just a system of numbers - it is how we process our entire existence. it isn't just "2 and 2 is 4", it's staring hard at the numbers and making the four into an alligator. it's rearranging the letters to say ow and it is the ugly drawing we make in the margin.
at some point, you will be able to write something by feeding my work into a machine. it will be perfectly legible and even might sound like me. but a machine doesn't understand why i do these things. it can be taught preferences, habits, statistical probability. it doesn't know why certain vowels sound good to me. it doesn't know the private rules i keep. it doesn't know how to keep evolving.
"but i want something to exist that doesn't exist yet." great. i'm glad you feel creative. go ahead and pay a fucking artist for it.
this is all saying something we all already knew. the sad fucking truth: we have to die to remind you. only when we're gone do we suddenly finally fucking mean something to you. artists are not replicable. we each genuinely have a skill, talent, and process that makes us unique. and there's actual quiet power in everything we do.

So I'm not saying that Noa's mark on his chest is NOT a birthmark like Caesar's. But I squinted, and it looks like it's also an injury caused by those electric spear thingies?
So, here it looks fine.
But here, there are like two red scars.
Same here.
And this is how the electric spear thingies look like. They have two prongs. Which can cause the two red scars?
And I'm 99% sure this is one of the electric spears and Noa acquires one of these weapons because of the charger hanging from his waist here.
So in grand conclusion.....he gets injured. That's it. I have no great theory. He just gets injured there. I STILL see some mark there even without the scars. But it's just a huge coincidence he gets injured there if that is where his birthmark is.

Electrician: We will arrive tomorrow morning, between 8-12am.
Me: Okay, but I will be home only after 9am, since I'm working the night, please come between 9-12 am.
Electrician: Uh, fine, we'll see what we can do about that...
*next day, 8.53 am*
Electrician: We are here, where are you??
