After a weekend trying to talk sense into these folks who hate on people like me, that create art and tech with AI, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could relay my message with mixture of tech, art and creativity. Well, this is the result. So...Are you prepared?

Humans of X. Why do you not capitalize the first letters of your sentences anymore? Are you trying to not look like a bot? Are you being lazy? WHY?

I've been watching a lot of slop and it hurts my heart a little realizing that video has fallen. This time next year 99% of the new content on youtube will be slop. I plan to profit from it, but deep in the cockles of my heart it's a little sad.
Video will eventually be so good that it will be unwatchable. Every video you see will be the best thing you've ever watched. You will fall into a trancelike state as the subliminals penetrate your mind.
The shared experience of a big movie or show coming out and everybody watching it at the same time will become increasingly atomized. We'll lose context of eachother. How am I supposed to explain Chinese Emily singing Paula Abdul with Roger from American Dad in a cat costume? If you weren't in the microniche that created it, there's no way it can make sense.
I think it will be for the best, but not everybody will adapt. It will feel like a flood.
Learn to swim.

Whatever you're saying about being done, you're not. You just keep regurgitating the same anti-AI hate. But I appreciate your willingness to say that you've lost. Maybe you should spread the word in your echo chamber because the rest of your type are going to lose too. Because my type, we're coming for everything your type creates. You won't have anything left.

I've found a commonality in the way anti-AI people think.
You'll say X and they immediately assume a superior position and think you're trying to convince them, require their permission or need to conform to some mindset to appease them and their entitlement. They genuinely believe they're important and that their way is the only way and that artists aren't allowed to think or function outside of their mindset. I'm not sure if the correct terminology is megalomania, but something of that ilk is driving their behaviour.

I think the biggest thing is their lack of awareness, reading the room, and their fear to step up to the plate and show their work. I put my stuff out there. I know it's going to get hate. But the world doesn't remember cowards and name-callers. The world remembers those that are bold. Also they kind of perpetually live online so they just regurgitate everything in their own echo chamber.

Keep thinking that bro. Your storm ain't coming. Your storm is here and it's going to take all of your work, all of your customers, all of your so-called art. And so will I. I took my dreaded AI agents and ordered up a nice sloppy video just for you and your kind. Enjoy nitter.net/BroadsideCode/status/2…

When you use ai you are not an artist, you are commissioning ai to make the art, same as you are not a chef by ordering custom pizza or sandwich

And who are you to talk about what art is? You use other people's work and other people's IP. Create videos and profit. How are you better than me? Do you have any original content that you'd like to show me?

What is art? Define it. Or show me where it's defined. And then we can have an intelligent discussion.

I find this extremely sad.
The NFT art space and extensions such as AI film and AI music are absolutely brimming with brilliant creatives who perfectly fuse traditional art forms with technology and are shaping the future of art, music, film, culture, thoughts, humanity even. I'm sure this person would have been enriched by being introduced to vibrant thinkers, feelers and doers, instead of being left in a cocoon of status. The beauty of NFTs is the people.
Not long ago, my friend, a very wealthy, successful older man, told me he wanted to invest in NFTs. He asked me what he could buy, where he could put his money, and how this industry even survives.
I spent a long time thinking about what I could show him or recommend without feeling embarrassed. Something that could actually pay off or generate a meaningful return. Something that would make sense to a person who casually buys a yacht on the weekend because he’s bored at home.
In the end, I couldn’t let myself to bring him into this world at all.
Because honestly, I had no idea what I could offer him here that wouldn’t eventually disappoint him.
Buy some weird pictures that only a tiny circle of anonymous people understands?
Invest in an NFT platform that barely makes any money?
Introduce him to our creative communities, turn him into an angel investor, and then struggle to explain why he should spend his money on these artworks instead of the ones hanging in museums?
The whole thing actually made me a little sad.
I felt bad for him, for myself, for all of us — and for this entire strange little industry we’ve somehow built.

A year ago, a big AI fan told me my concerns about job losses in digital art were silly. "Sure, grunt work will go away. But those people will get to be one man studios instead! Everyone can make their dream project!"
Well, the jobs are going away. Where's the dream projects?
Perhaps the best evidence for AI-driven arts job loss is that all digital arts industries are losing jobs while most live arts still chug along
Sectors like graphic design, streaming, & movie recording have experienced historically unusual job loss since ChatGPT's launch

AI bros do not make things because they enjoy art, it's just another toy they can use to annoy people, like a child smacking a rattle on the crib for the noise. They have no concept of beauty or accomplishment or technique or fulfillment.

Go hang out with shitty local bands. Meet potters and painters and chop it up with em about technique and hand crafting. Get book recommendations and sit down and finish them. Talk to people on the street about their hobbies. Go to art exhibitions and drag shows and concerts

Keep insulting me. I'm soaking up the content. What else you got? Commentary account talk about being fake. You have no content of your own. You just plagiarize other people's. And you come on here and insult other people? No I'm going to go to the mat for them every time. I'm going to shut you down. I'm never going away ever. I'll dominate you in public but I'll build in the dark.
