Comment on ‘I’m suddenly so angry!’ My strange, unnerving week with an AI ‘friend’
Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 months agoThis is part and parcel with the incel issue. When all you want is validation, and she’s a bitch if she actually has a thought of her own that you didn’t feed her … well, like likely looks attractive. You still won’t be getting laid, but at least you’ll convince yourself you’re seen.

That’s really astute, I’ve never seen that comparison drawn so directly. It’s the same situation with the people who claim that AI “democratizes” art by allowing someone to have a “work” of art without putting in the work of creating which is what makes a work a thing to be desired in the first place.

Yeah, I steer clear of visual arts these days. It was a good run, but what I consider artistic is now apparently viewed as baroque.

Nothing wrong with that. If it ain’t baroque, don’t fix it.
I’ll see myself out.👋

Note on a door in high school orchestra:
“Do not use this door; it is Baroque. Use the one with the Handel.”

Thankfully I don’t think economic demand for AI generated visuals is nearly as high as the human crafted variety
