i just dont get how these people who type some bullshit into chatgpt actually think and feel like they’re creating something

the whole fun of art is the process and bringing everything together. knowing you saw some shit in your head and created it. what satisfaction could ai “art” bring its “creators” other than maybe tricking dumb old people who dont understand “ai” into thinking they have talent

    idk why people have to pretend like its art. The technological feat itself is already mindblowing. Like genuinely futuristic capabilities people could never have imagined even 5 years ago. Why not just stick to appreciating that?

      The transcription of previously-unreadable scrolls from Pompeii by AI is like one of the coolest use cases for any technology that i’ve ever heard, yet this kind of shit is what most people are interested in. I don’t understand at all.

        Because most people are not thinking about translating unreadable scrolls or thousands other specialist usages, but the possiblity of turning their thoughts into pictures without spending very long time on learning how to draw is very tempting.
