Instead I went to a real art convention and bought prints and trinkets from real human artists and it feels really nice and I got some cool stuff. Suck it evil robot machine. I will appreciate human made art forever 🔥🔥🔥

using A.I. for art instead of using it to fix problems such as poverty, climate change etc is fucking weird
art is a way people cope with human existence and express feelings as well as share and pass down culture
why tf is A.I. in the mix
its weird to me

I’m sure in the right hands ai can be used to create stunning art. True, that art will somewhere deep down be based on other works used to train the ai, but right now I don’t think I care. People can use any tools they like to express themselves.
Every medium is used to create bad art and to create good art. Most things people make with generative ai will be bad. But those people just as easily could be taking bad photos, painting bad paintings, carving bad marble statues or anything else.
AI is going to make all kinds of things worse for everyone (unless it just flames out - read Ed Zitron about that), but creative art is the least of it.

hear me out
on a personal level it seems to be a blessing because it will give creative power to people who aren’t gifted artistically. for example, i used ai to come up with some images based on a story plot i had which i could have never made myself because i simply dont possess that ability. now obviously, one would argue, i could outsource that work to artists and pay them, but the bottom line is this is just a side project i think about from time to time and would not want to hire someone specially for this. the fact that i do have such a tool on my disposal lets me actively engage with such ideas and take them to another level. now, these images are very evidently ai generated, so for the time being it seems ai art and human art can be distinguished, but the exponential rate at which technological is growing, ai art will soon be indiscernible from human art.
in a scenario where that does happen, which isn’t far away, i think of ai art just being another form of art. one could argue using prompt to generate specific ai images is a talent too, albeit one of a different kind. but as for human art, it won’t particularly lose it’s value just because an easier counterpart has been developed, but its audience may become smaller and more niche, concentrated in certain communities.- for example, vinyl is celebrated and believed to be the best way to listen to music even in the age of streaming, but only people with certain monetary liberty can purchase vinyl. i fear the same may happen to human art.
there’s a generic rhetoric of ai art not having ‘soul’, however in a recent study more than 75% of people were not able to discern between an abstract painting made by ai and one made by a human.iIf ‘soul’ did truly exist, this number should be a lot lower, ideally zero. we think of ‘soul’ of a painting because we know its human art, but if an unknown work is presented and appears to be human art without us actually knowing whether it is or not, we wont be able to tell the difference, ie the appeal to origin fallacy. however, i do also acknowledge, that the story behind an artwork and the artist is what gives the artwork meaning, not the literal colours or patterns used. which is why I believe that ai art should clearly be labelled as ai art, and that ai art ethics committees should oversee the use of ai art. many other concerns come to mind when I think about the ethical implications of ai art- should the artists whose works are being used to train ai systems be compensated, should there be restrictions or guidelines for ai images of historically sensitive subjects, and who has proprietorship over the ai image?
tying back into my first example of my individual experience with human art, it is very clearly on a personal level. the main concern is the role of ai art in public spaces. corporations, ad agencies, publishers, etc will definitely use ai art as a means to save money by not hiring human artists, and that’s fair because they care about volume and aesthetics, not about the context of an artwork (which I think we apply based on our convenience, ill elaborate in a moment). it sure means some artists losing out on money and jobs, but the use of ai will also create more jobs of supervising the ai and training it to output the desired images. It’s essentially just learning new skills which seems like a tangible first for artists because their value is now directly being challenged for the first time in history. it’s happened in almost every industry before, even before the creation of ai. the general public will eat it up, because multinational capitalistic corporations will shove it down our throats, but the people that do care about emotion and context behind real human art won’t let it die. the human art circle will become smaller, but art has always only to a certain section of the population, however for generations to come which grow up surrounded by ai art, the situation seems dire.
i think the future of art isn’t human vs ai—it’s whether we still know how to care about who’s speaking, not just what’s being said

So the difference between yuri on ice and attack on titan is pretty vast, so I'll give some reqs and also why I'm req'ing them:
Mob Psycho 100 [genre: weird]: don't get put off by the artstyle, the animation is fantastic and the characters are very very likeable. Go in blind! You won't regret it. Has little to no fanservice.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann [genre: mecha]: Ever wondered what was up with big robots? This anime has big robots. They get so big you won't even believe it. The animation is incredibly..bouncy. Fanservice/unnecessary nudity-level medium.
Kill La Kill [genre: magical girl? nudity?]: if you liked Gurren Lagann but wants more magical girls and less clothes. This one is incredibly weird in ways only anime can be. Fanservice-level extremely high but it makes a weird amount of sense within the story, I just...yeah. I have warned you.
One Punch Man [genre: superhero/shonen]: The first season is a very funny take on the superhero genre and supremely entertaining. I skipped the following seasons, you do what you want! :D Fanservice low!
The Apothecary Diaries [genre: mystery/romance]: A mystery / romance set in the court of the chinese emperor's concubines. Honestly it's mostly a medical mystery show and I thought it was very well crafted! The main character is excellent.
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood [genre: adventure/shonen]: This is a longer show but it's about two brothers who know alchemy and their..alchemical adventures. It's just really good!
