So smart, thank you for blessing us with your words of wisdom, Mr. Rich Person who is also an expert in art!
Tap for spoiler
Creating this slop caused a home in Wisconsin to lose power for 2 minutes. Please send them your thoughts and prayers!
The point of art isn’t getting it done quickly. It’s the journey, the painstaking hours and the satisfaction of the finished piece.
The only people who think making art faster is good are marketing ghouls.
Yeah I think people like this see a book written by a human that took them a year to write and sold 1,000 copies and an AI that farts out 500 books in a day and sells 1,000 copies in total as essentially the same thing, except that the AI one is superior to them because it happened faster. Never mind that now Amazon is flooded with the 500 books the AI just made so nobody else can get seen, tomorrow we’ll just just make 1,000 books.
I kind of had that realization the other day. Art is just people taking time to make something, good or bad. What makes it valuable is the time + their ability. It is effectively a monetary battery of your time, charge it up with time, sell it for money.
The value is also partly the literal structure that you’ve built into your brain to have the skill set necessary to do that work.
Building skill in art is as profoundly impactful on your neurology as learning a new language or sciences.
Well said. I mean, the thing produced is literally called a WORK (of art).
Why would I want to create some soulless approximation of my creative idea, when I could use my own brain, hands, and heart to create my idea exactly the way I imagine it?
Putting work into art can be a cathartic labor of love. I enjoy making things with specific people, music, or senses & imagery in mind. There’s also a distinct sense of accomplishment that comes from completing a work and saying, “I made this.” Putting a prompt into a machine can’t give me that.
What the fuck would Mark Cuban know about creating art?
People let these business ghouls way the fuck out of their lane.
I don’t need AI to replace my creativity and imagination. This is what someone writes when they only care about the end product, and not about the actual creative process.
Artistic mastery isn’t gatekeeping, but I understand the sentiment. It’s nice to have the ability to do rapid prototyping, but I’m against AI being used in place of craftsmanship. “The art advances but the artisan recedes.”
Creativity is fundamentally an exercise in brain plasticity. Enjoy your early onset dementia/Alzheimer’s when you don’t learn a damn thing for years on end.
Was this written by an LLM?
“Why use your brain when you don’t have to?” Mark has had some surprisingly good takes for a billionaire but way off on this one.
It’s definitely a pathology.
I’m not sure, they didn’t say whether I’ll LOVE AI enough…
As an artist, I LOVE being told what i should like and not like by an out-of-touch never-been-cool rich asshole. Thanks, dickwad!
Creative iteration is hard work. if it is only taking minutes, it is because it is not creative. Sure, it is hard to sit down and draw or write or do any work, but the best ideas happen during that process
I was hoping, praying, that just ONE of the nearly 1000 billionaires in America would take our side and deliver us from evil.
Cuban is clearly on team End Game. Fuck the rich.
Lol wut. The people who have proven with their actions consistently that they are willing to fuck everyone else over to get ahead, again and again? Would switch sides as they’re about to make the winning dunk on the underclass?
If AI increases productivity, where’s the shovelware? Why haven’t we seen a hockey stick graph of code commits/lines/repos?
