My brain doesn't like it and I think it's bad. Please stop.
Quick punch what he's saying into the generator. I hope whatever it comes up with is the first 3 google image search results with a swirly background made of their dominant colors.
Counterargument: It's cool and I want to decorate my house with it.
"I need to decorate my living space with images that assault my consciousness and challenge my very existence."
What would be cool is a picture frame that you press a button to speak to and it makes an art based on what you said
I'm guessing you're one of those people who gets a lot out of Cleverbot conversations too.
:sadness:
Okay. It literally makes me nauseous. Plus I think it's bad for human brains.
Yes, it's hideousness is attractive, but it leaves me with a profound sense of unease.
ew
EDIT: I am a fan of the art inherent in the hideous - but the raw unfiltered algorithmic mind, even if imperfect and incomplete, terrifies me - it represents an alienation from the creator unlike anything else.
it's not a mind it's a machine that does statistical modelling. It's basically a bunch of art that's been fed to a computer to do some fancy maths. Also the creator in this case is just the programmer
Same here, it's like looking to the mind of a computer being fed our collective consciousness. It's horrific and I can't look away.
No it is bad - because I know that there is no soul in the brush strokes and composition - it is a hollow imitation of an algorithm collecting interactions between imaginary spaces.
Hot take: Abstract art always swung between art and masturbation and it's kind of funny that a neural net produces more consistently interesting outcomes than many abstract artists.
Yeah, I understand that, but it's a physiological reaction to it - I can start in a section and then be brought out to the whole, and it's terrifying - I can't imagine that pondering those images is healthy.
That's kind of what I like about it. Whatever you see isn't necessarily what's there, it's your brain grasping to interpret the imagines. It's spicy cognition.
But you're trying to imagine an algorithmic mind - an alien understanding that you can't fathom.
EDIT: You or me or any human being can't fathom it because it's a construct representing all of the direct impulses of human thought.
I'd argue that your brain is doing what it always does with visual stimuli - Trying to find a recognizable pattern in a field of arbitary input. But in this case the image your brain is trying to find patterns in has, at most, highly distorted partial pieces of recognizable objects, so your brain has to try to tease out meaning from that distorted imagery. It's like a puzzle.
Exactly.
But the puzzle is one that has no relation to any human experience.

Neither does looking at shapes in clouds or reading tea leaves or anything. It's all random and inanimate.
Yes, Skynet exists - but it's existence doesn't discount my lived experiences or feelings.
It's uncanny, and I would appreciate a human making that, but knowing it was birthed from a sequence of fallible retrieval systems - pulling off of inputs from biological computers - makes me dubious about the possibility of true artistic creations.
There's talk about a containment comm, for now I'm directing all AI art posts to either the AI art megathread, the regular mega thread, or the Navy Seal pinned thread.
Please report any you see out of there and tell the OP where to go.
I also wish there was less of it but all your arguments against it sound like satanic panic or other moral handwringing dreamed up by someone who doesn't have even the faintest idea how AI works
I agree on it being bad. I tried to make fun of it by doing it but I just contributed more to it. Sorry.
It's fascinating, but it does something to my brain when I look at it. I think it's bad for you.

Knowledge wants to be free.
THANK YOU.
Pls I get that people are having fun and some of these are neat, but keep it to a megathread or something. It feels like every 5th post the past couple of days
Begging for relief from your own aesthetic preferences is fuckin soft as hell.
Having said that, the "art" sucks. You're playing with an incredibly advanced spirograph. It looks like the thing you typed but all screwey. I don't get the appeal at all.
Seeing this post made me realize it's not gonna stop for a while and so I'm better off unsubscribed from c/art for a while so thank you for making this post
I've pretty much avoided it at this point, is it really that bad? now I'm curious
