I’m a digital painter with a strong interest in dark themed fantasy and sci-fi. I love horror and eeriness. Dark spooky halloween vibes.

  • It was an ok read for me, but mostly because I enjoyed the art rather than relating to the entirety of the sentiment.

    I’m an artist and I find AI art evocative and illustrating things in a way that I wish that I could illustrate, but feel that is only because it comes from real human artists. I agree that it is a void in terms of difficulty to process, but there is still skill involved in both using search engines and describing something to an llm. A minute amount of skill, but still a skill.

    I hate AI art because it is stealing from artists, not because it doesn’t feel right. It can have a million iterations and only needs to get it right once to count as feeling right to me. The relationship between the content and their artists to the ultimate product is removed, this to me is the wrongfulness of claiming new art from it. It is just stealing in a more wind-about manor. This isn’t like generating fractal art or something.

    After all these years of corporations fucking up the literal social fabric and and how we communicate over IP law, for them to turn around and steal everything and just get a pass is an extra slap in face. Stealing only gets allowed2 one way in our society, and AI is just another example of that.

    I’m honestly surprised to not see this take more from others and felt like i needed to mention it.

    edit: emphasized that by making AI art taking skill, I only mean just a minute amount.








  • My friend found a bunch of vhs tapes that his dad hid, and we would watch them together. We were both around 8 or 9, and we watched various porn tapes, and stuff like Heavy Metal and other R rated stuff. The stuff that really gave a lasting impression in my mind’s eye though was a collection of actual deaths caught on tape called “Faces of Death” and a movie called “Pink Flamingos”. Ill always remember aligators ripping a paraglider apart, and the chicken scene from pink flamingos. I rematched it when I was older and it didn’t seem as bad as I remembered, but it’s not a great scene to have stuck in your head…

    Now I specialize in making horror illustrations lol.

    Good point! The word commodity isn’t the best word to describe art, so maybe a better way is to just say that ‘I think that the perceived value is on the rise, because of a human reaction to reject the capitalist’s attempts to transform the collected stolen expressions of human artistic achievements into whatever meaning the wealthy desire without the need to pay those who made the “generated” art possible.’

    please excuse my wordiness, I am procrastinating and got lost in this reply accidentally.
