minus-squareorcaAlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·5 days agoI know someone that does algorithmic art with Python and WebGL. There’s a skill behind it. Just like there’s art and skill behind the work that runs modern LLMs. Found art is art. So is algorithmic, multimedia, etc. Running an LLM and feeding it yours and your friends’ own art to train on? Go for it. Art generated solely for profit, by billionaires, through piracy methods they’d sue the fuck out of you for using? Trash.

We barely got through one exchange before you wound up right back at “you have to pay for it to be art.” So much for the involvement of consciousness.
