A University of Alaska Fairbanks student was detained after ripping AI "artwork off the walls and eating it in a reported protest."

OK well it's clear who is the real artist in this scenario. Bravo to the student who actually expressed genuine human emotion by seeing that dross for what it is.

Chew it up. Spit it out.

"AI artwork"

Nope, sorry. It's not art and no work was put into it.

Then why does it consume so much energy if no work was put into it? /s

I mean, I think the Interior Semiotics girl was too. Her contribution to culture was pissing in a spaghettiOs can.

There isn't going to be any getting around it. At the absolute best, people will use ai for images and ideas, and then hand copy\draw\paint it themselves. AI with an extra step. Movie and game industry will definitely use it, because capitalism and eventually not enough consumers will care.

Hey now, let's not wave the white flag and surrender when the war is just getting started.

Yeah keep hope in the absurd amount of price these things have. Surely enough people miss having consistent weather at the very least.

Wacko. Computers have been generating images for a loooong time. The latest batch is no different. This person is simply buying into the "AI" hype to an absurd degree.

If someone is eating "AI" images in a museum, then you're really not doing anything about the militarization, colonization, surveillance, environmental destruction, etc. They're just promoting phony grifter BS.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
