(Updated) Jason Allen who won the price, later admitted that the final work took 80 hours to make. He did not simply use AI tools but also photoshop and and other tools that enables human agency in the final product, he went back and forth with AI and his own input. So it is more correct to call it a hybrid piece with both human and AI input. So selling it as an AI work won a price is incorrect rather a hybrid work won. Which points to an interesting topic humybrir art works with both human an AI input. I know a guy who spent a little of time altering works that AI makes, especially since they often dial human qualities alike faces, emotions and hands and have to give it his touch to them. Though simply writing a prompt do not make your visual artist as little as ordering a pizza does not make you a cook. It is also backwards since it uses something very clumsily words to generate visual work, to start with words in a visual work is backwards. It says nothing about composition, intent, visual language and symbolism, and artistic intent of visual choices. Writing a prompt does not make you a visual artist.

Thankyou!! More content coming soon.

The realest truth is that all of civilization is a mass-consensual confidence game, where self-organizing collectives vie to survive and thrive while making sense of their own existence. We are constantly seeking to delineate between Like and Unlike. About a third of us skew conservative, a third of us skew liberal, and a third of us are flexible either way. Every generation reaches a point where old folks complain about the work ethic of kids these days, and how their new music just sounds like noise. "Attachment leads to suffering," and people unthinkingly become attached to habits and biases and traumas and conditionings, which all causes chaotic caustic effects in how the fluid of our energy and attention and intention is distributed within the closed system of this moldy wet rock we call home. We're all seeking Over-Unity; we're all seeking feelings of transcendence. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," as they say. To witness and recognize beauty _is_ beauty, and to feel beauty, by extension, lets us _be_ beauty, if only just for a moment.

AI is the fake Rolex version od art...

Interesting choice of Thumbnail since some would label it "NsfW" ,which some who use AI is horrified by even tho Some artist in the Data draw and Paint the same type of subject

how is that nsfw??? the AI censorship should be less strict. obviously stuff like child p$%n isn't allowed but the AI is censoring prompts like "young girl" now

Good work.

This is a good video

Maybe all this depth we said was there with art was never actually there in the first place. I have written poems that teachers and professors said showed talent. But what they saw in them I had never thought about. What human (especially when young) has the guts to actually shrug their shoulders and not take credit? We all like to act smarter than we are. What would an ego look like for an AI? Maybe it is having that which would make it truly human--the willingness to lie to take credit.

It's not surprising that you wrote some poems, the teacher responded and you shrugged. first of all, the process of making art is the artist's true joy. It is a process of discovery, of making choices, facing doubt, questioning what you are trying to say and ultimately, discovering yourself. Once its made, its just a thing for others. Taking credit is a way to ask the world for some return of the energy spent making it in the first place. I dont think AI wants to be human. I do not think a single AI has ever made a true choice--yet. That is the defining feature of a truly independent mind. Capable of starting a personal journey through a choice whose outcome is unclear. To put it succinctly: To be human is to jump off a cliff and build the wings you need on the way down.

An experience I had in college, working toward a degree in graphic design: Our assignment was to produce a collage in Photoshop, which I did effortlessly better than my fellow students because I had been using a pirated copy of Photoshop for a couple years before college. The day I was supposed to turn in the assignment, a classmate said: "Wow, this looks really great. What 'Emotion' did you choose for it?" "...hm? _Oh, shoot, I was supposed to pick an Emotion to be the topic of the piece;_ that's right. Well, I'll think of something." So I decided on the Emotion after-the-fact. When it was time to give a presentation to the class, I just pulled everything out of my tailpipe: "My piece represents _Contemplation._ Its setting is a peaceful tropical beach at mid-day." _[I scanned it out of a magazine, because I liked how the wave lapping at the shore was taking an eye-catching circular shape.]_ "There in the sand are the lessons of our past, being washed away by the tides of time." _[I had learned a neat trick from a Photoshop magazine to turn a high contrast image into an embossed layer effect, which I used on a black and white photo of a wrought-iron skylight, and applied to the shoreline, which made it look like drawings in the sand.]_ "In the middle distance of the water, there is a string of camels wading where they are not meant to be, as they unthinkingly follow their leader." _[I just noticed that I needed something to fill that empty space, and saw a stock photo of a line of camels which had the right perspective.]_ "Out in the far distance of the sky, some people see bright and hopeful skies, while some see darkness brewing on the horizon." _[Different monitors and projectors had different brightness and contrast, so the sky literally looked brighter and darker for different people.]_ "The Balinese statue in the center, sitting in a Yogic pose, and floating above the circular wave, is Contemplating." _[I scanned it out of a catalog; it's a really common statue shape if you search for wooden Balinese statues.]_ All made up, just presented with confidence. A+ Art, she is in the eye of the beholder.

@@psiga That is true. And your process revealed to you, your brilliant skills as a bullshitter. That isn't meant to be an insult. Most people have to accept the outcomes of a situation. you can get the outcome you want. Nice one.

As well crafed as those wartworks are, they are all very bad.

On the topic of interpretation, I think once a piece of art has been given a specific interpretation by its creator, that should be considered the only true way to fully experience said piece of art. All other interpretations are just alternative ways to experience the same art, even if they seem to make more sense than the original interpretation.

"only true way to fully experience" really? There could be stuff in the art that the artist didn't even realize, and artists can change their mind on a piece.

@@bpdmf2798 It wouldn’t make the other interpretations less real, just not the “official” way to experience it. And if the artist changes his mind then that becomes the new “official” way to experience it. Don’t know if I’m wording this correctly, I feel like I could come up with an analogy but I’m not smart enough.

@@UntwistedCube There is a concept I learned a long time ago but I cannot remember what it was called and who wrote it. But it goes like this: There is an author to every work. However great works are often larger than any one person can encompass at the same time. That means that over the time of writing a work, an author can only deal with aspects at a time and certainly never truly holds the entire work in his mind. Neither can we. what is the thoughts of each brush stroke that compelled that choice? To that end, there is a concept of the complete author who is the sum total of all the choices of the original author. this complete author encompasses all the various interpretations that might arise of readers/audience. so whilst the original author can make a claim about what it means, but he is not the actual authority. We are witnessing a mind over time coming to a conclusion. But the work itself is more than that conclusion. and I speak as an artist myself, a writer who has listened to many interpretations of my work. I feel as David Lynch does, and many other artists: I don't define my work. The work is the definition. Whats more interesting is the experience of the audience. That's why the post-modern notion of explainer cards is decadent bullshit. It excuses bad art.
