You can't discuss AI slop unless you tackle quantity issue. Quality is mostly irrelevant. AI enables mass spamming of "content" that overwhelms any human systems. E.g., if you run a lit mag, and your submissions go from 100 a month to 10,000 that's a problem even if it all sucks

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

I'm still thinking about the "Men who drive with both hands gives me the ick." The vast majority of women seem to want a conservative coded hyper masculine guy who is actually woke and read theory, but not so much that he won't be the one to always pay for dinner.

You can’t simultaneously claim demographic representation in media is important, then pretend to not understand why people are upset by demographic choices made in media.

senran kagura died because a specific Playstation executive that turned out to be a pedophile caught wanting to rape boys didn't like it and did his level best to strangle it and the creator's other games

If you want an honest answer, a lot of them saw Big Tech innovations that changed people’s daily lives for the better and/or were at least mixed bags. Personal computers, internet, mp3 players, smart phones, etc. Someone who is 18 has yet to see something that isn't a scam.

Accepting censorship in any form will unavoidably lead to everything being censored. "oh, so you're ok with drawings of-" It doesn't matter what comes after the end of that sentence. THE ANSWER IS YES. No censorship.

If you're for the censorship of art, you're a fucking bitch. And I don't care if your reason is "it appeals to the male gaze and I have blue hair" or "Christ would agree with me". The result is the same to me, and you're a bitch either way. (and He wouldn't, btw.)

It's crazy I'm one of like five people in the entire world who knows that Bob the Builder creator Curtis Jobling went on to write a furry version of Game of Thrones complete with zombies and chronic disembowelment.

If this isn't true then why have you guys been calling everyone that isn't white by weird computer codes like BIPOC and AAIP to create multiracial groups that explicitly target White people.

"MEN AND BOYS ARE ALLOWED TO BE QUIET AND AWKWARD" No they are not. It gets them viewed as weak and dangerous simultaneously. Women often will gossip behind their back and bully them incessantly because they can't handle the ambiguity of silence and prefer an obvious reaction.

The problem is illustrated plainly in the AI generated pic: why is he in a modern wheelchair in what is otherwise a medieval fantasy world? It's always a modern wheelchair. Why not mechanical spider legs? Why not a goblin riding a giant dim-witted orc? Why wouldn't the amputee war-veteran not have a magitech leg instead? How about a mad wizard who sews animal or giant insect legs to those who can't walk instead? Are ancient ruins and evil lairs ADA-compliant with wheelchair ramps? The wheelchair thing is dumb precisely because it does not make sense in a fantasy setting with the existence of magic. Your crime is not being disabled. Your crime is the lack of creativity.

“You only like the game because of the gameplay” we need a five year pause on all discourse until we figure out what the fuck’s going on

One of the reasons that the west's comic book media is so ass is because California elites are self-worshipping and obsessed with the idea that stylization is for babies, and realism is "mature". Thus, they are just constantly trying to make themselves over and over again. Stylization is an artists way of saying "Hm, how can I take aspects of reality and enhance them to communicate what I want about the character". 2B here is elegant and beautiful. She has stark white, unnatural hair. Her eyes are covered, and yet she looks confident and capable. She is obviously powerful both from the ratio of her body, the way that she stands and the massive weapon she carries. You can tell quite a bit about who she is as a person, and how mysterious What does this picture of the new Wolverine game's Mystique say to you? She's... kinda old looking. Her body is pretty average. She's got orange hair and blue skin so classic Mystique look but like... It's not saying anything.

I maintain that a lot of people are "art blind". They look at AI art and just see an explosion of color with a lot of complexity in the shape of a burger and think that looks great. Zero cultivated taste or understanding of art at all

hate to give these nematodes credit for anything but a huge part of the success of the og psx was that it was so grungy and eurotrashy. all that designers republic type stuff felt just as cool and new as anything from japan and it was the key

Because in 2006 a “9/11 joke” was someone posting a Hulkamania twin towers photoshop with the caption “NEVER FORGETTI” and in 2026 a “9/11 joke” is some sadistic turd in glasses saying “you deserve it and I hate you” with the straightest face humanly possible.

Look, clearly what’s at work is a form of ideological and cultural psychopathy with no limiting principle that provides any sort of meaningful brake. ‘Reasonable centrists’ will try to dissemble this basic truth, but the sooner everyone realizes it the better.

time was if you wanted a wolverine game you called up acclaim or etc and they gave it to some lads from scunthorpe named like Galactic Visions who would code a 6/10 third person action game for PS2 xbox and gamecube in ten months. and it would cost about £500 and a few curries

“ why should my creatively be hindered by my lack of skills” is insane
