AI art is already boring. its all a fad, eventually the cracks start to show and you can't unsee those cracks. very similar to bitcoin. tbh.

You're one of the ones who used to call bitcoin "buttcoin" didn't you? Very sure of yourself, very wrong.

  Seeing btc is still quite useless apart from a few legitimate reasons, otherwise mostly being used for illegal purposes: yes, btc is a failure.

  after i lost everything in the mtgox scandal, i used my last bitcoin to buy a lenovo thinkpad, which i used to learn computer programming and network engineering.

  Oh, you mean because Bitcoin didn’t turn out as a stupidly-high risk speculation object without any value rooted in reality, wasting a sizeable portion of the power production of a world threatened by the climate crisis, swinging between orders of magnitude in valuation on Elon‘s whims? The Bitcoin that is irrelevant everywhere else but the crypto bubble itself?

  Come on man, we're all on the AI hype train now. Get with the program, you're one bubble behind!

The interesting to boring scale depends on novelty. Given the ai oversaturation it works exactly as expected. AI Art is currently in very early stage. In the real art space (3d modeling, sculpting, animation, vfx, animation, rigging, retargeting), it could make huge breakthroughs and multiply true artists' productivity in significant ways

  I've noticed that those who worship productivity tend to appreciate "content creators" not artists :)

    During my brief venture into 3d graphics I often found that 1 hour of truly creating is spaced between ten hours of fixing up UV's, redoing topology, finding cause for the seam, trying to make a watertight mesh for photon tracing, fighting the subdivision algorithm to retain details, diverting a edge loop, where it causes the less distress. I call the first hour true productivity. The last part is, from the perspective of the end product, simply a wasted time. That's very similar to the boilerplate code everybody agrees is a necessary evil in the programming. If AI allows to reduce the #2 it truly will have positive impact

      It's interesting how some terms we use reveal our world view. What does referring to art as "product" imply?

  as i mentioned earlier, i was one of the first generation of bitcoin users. the problems with it have yet to be fixed.
