But then when the bogs get flooded for harvest, the wolf spiders have nowhere to go that’s not water, so the people who are harvesting cranberries are like tall islands of refuge, so they swarm to the humans for safety, so the humans are covered in friendly happy relieved wolf spiders <3

- Comment on Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History 1 month ago:
While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you’re writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That’s literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn’t make the art or music worth writing off though.
But honestly:
What is interesting though is the fact that AI art, and the LAION-5B dataset used to train the models is a true and earnest reflection of sorts of what images today really are
“Earnest” is definitely not the word you’re looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they’re reflections; and as such, they’re going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.
Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It’s your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you’re missing out on truly expanding your horizons.
- Comment on Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History 1 month ago:
Expanding ones horizons absolutely does and should include art history, which is a part of human history.

On the top, a bright, clear sunny day, a few picturesque clouds in the sky.
At the bottom, a river, once clean, where corporate logos such as Google and Microsoft sit, partially submerged, stains spreading into the waters around them.
In the middle, a bridge: well constructed across and overtop the river, across which various Fediverse logos are crossing
I dunno, I’m not a graphic designer
