Vague embarrassment ten years on when you look at something from 2023 that’s filled with obvious machine-made art, the same way looking at old rave fliers full of MANDELBROTS!!! feels faintly embarrassing.
- ipnon 4y agoIs there a term for this anticipatory future embarrassment? Some kind of German conjunction?
- dqpb 4y agoHow about “prediscomfitation”
- ls15 4y agoGerman here. I made this up, but I think it fits: vorausschämen A quick search confirms that other people were already using the term. :)

- themoonisachees 4y agoI don't see why it has to be embarrassing. I view it as a form of retrofuturism, an artifact of how society and its expectations for the future at that time influenced art. The current ai art world is shockingly reminescent of new minecraft updates; everyone using the same new blocks in their builds, so much so that block pallettes are comprised of blocks that do not go together at all, al for the sake of "making a build with the new blocks" I think experimenting with new art techniques in this way is a fundamental part of the human experience, and i see no reason to cringe at it, even if it means that you can sometimes tell that a minecraft build was made when the update that included its blocks came out.
