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

    thank you for articulating why that stuff bores the shit out of me so quickly. a co-worker is basically on the prompt dopamine high and i kept explaining to him that i’ve already tested all the boundaries of this stuff and it’s extremely limiting, boring, and samey and he didn’t get what I was saying.

    i see only a few use cases and only if self-hosted: reference art (very limited, it’s actually bad at much of this outside landscapes) and as a way to overcome writer’s block if you can’t interact with your usual human creative partners for some reason

    or just to help format outlines or organize huge, steam-of-consiousness lore dumps. but only if self-hosted, because otherwise you are giving free training data to this shit
