It still amazes me that the lesson people learned from AI being able to replicate raw art skill wasn't, "Oh wow I guess making a proficient image is kind of artistically useless if a machine can do it" it was DOUBLING DOWN on the fundamentals and acting like we need to "outskill" the machines...

Being a great draftsman, painter or illustrator is not the same as being a great artist. Great art is more than the sum of its parts and great artists express things that cannot be replicated through skill alone.

Eventually while trying to be "good at art" you will see the line between proficiency and artistry. One you have to be brave enough to cross. Remember what Picasso said. It took him four years to paint like Raphael but a lifetime to relearn how to paint like a child.

Maybe doing some anatomy studies would shut these losers up but I like having FUN and they can eat glass. I have nothing to prove to people like this anymore. These despicable art cops.

Sorry I keep posting about this stupid shark-accuracy discourse, it's just... SO stupid. So... SO... INCREDIBLY stupid. You draw how YOU want. They draw how THEY want. And we all live our own fucking lives. It's very easy!

Inb4 motherfuckers start talking about how furries shouldn't have human eyes because it's "anatomically inaccurate" and as we know anatomical accuracy is the ONLY measure of good art.

Genuinely, imagine giving this much of a shit about random artists drawing animal likenesses poorly. Better mock them! How else will you bolster your own fragile self-esteem! How else will you convince yourself you're BETTER than them!

I'm gonna draw a bunch of dog sharks out of pure spite, people are soooo annoying holy shit. It's called picking up a pencil and drawing shit the way YOU want, why do you need to waste time shitting on other people???

Me: Man, the 2020’s suck ass. Shit ton of fascists ruining everything for everyone, including themselves Person in a bow tie and suspenders with crumpet crumbs on their face and the scent of bad earl grey on their breath, stumbling out of their Time Machine: IS JOHNLOCK END GAME

I pray these bitter "failed artists" don't hit 30 and get hit in the face with burnout and body pain/lack of control so intense they can't even work retail anymore and that's all they're qualified for because of AI and suffer the pain and pressure of knowing their art is their only hope.

Fun fact interacting with AI slop SPREADS the AI slop. Algorithms do not distinguish between positive and negative attention they just see "oh this has a TON of engagement! Better spread it to people in this person's interest sphere".

Like I think it might be like... Evil to celebrate someone's imminent suicide over drawings. It doesn't mean I think those drawings were okay. Just like... Cheering on a suicide is WORSE. Objectively. Morally.

I think if you're HAPPY about a guy being in so much pain he wants to be euthanized just because he drew some racist caricatures.... Idk man I think you might be the worst person here.

I don't owe the world more than my art and I sure as fuck don't owe it to some "revolutionary" LARPer online to sit down and shut up about the fact that I need money to live because I am too disabled to get a REAL, GOOD REVOLUTIONARY PROLETARIAN job like working at Walmart.

People who are essentially lumpenprole becoming "petit bourgeois" in the minds of people who have never read Marx, let alone bothered to understand the underlying mechanics Marx was critiquing would be funny if it wasn't the type of tribalism that distracts from the actual problem.
