> Japanese “content”
Sickening
- simianparrot 1y agoNo human writes like this. If he actually did it’s worrying.
- rossant 1y agoWould you mind explaining? As a non native English speaker I may have missed some nuance.
- danhau 1y agoThe word content. Art would have been the appropriate term.
- sph 1y agoWait until they coopt the word "art" to include AI-generated slop. I dread the future discussion tarpits about whether AI creations can be considered art.
- krapp 1y agoMy person in deity that future has been here for a while now. Not only do they consider it art, they call what you and I consider art "humanslop" and consider it inferior to AI.
- idiotsecant 1y agoThis sounds a lot like boomers complaining about kitty litter instead of bathrooms in elementary school It's easy to get too chronically online and focus on some tiny weird thing you saw when in fact it's just a tiny weird thing

- _DeadFred_ 1y agoA piece of wood, a rock can be pretty/interesting to look at. It is not art. AI slop might be pretty/interesting, but it is not art.
- mlrtime 1y agoDisagree, it is content. The Japanese anime (referenced) is specifically made to be marketed and sold.
- qlm 1y agoThe involvement of money does not preclude a work from being considered art. Your claim is cynical and ahistorical.
- nickthegreek 1y agoit also doesn’t preclude it from being content.
- estearum 1y agoAlmost every piece of art you've ever seen (by virtue of you seeing it) was made to be marketed and sold. Art is overwhelmingly not a charity project from artists to the commons.
- ricardobeat 1y agoMost independent artists will disagree with this statement. They do it for passion, to communicate, to tell stories, to fulfill their own urges. Some works incidentally hit a sweet spot and become commercial successes, but that's not their purpose. On the other hand, the 'art' you see being marketed around you is made specifically to be marketed and sold, with little personal connection to the artist, and often against their own preferences. That's "content".
- Zacharias030 1y agosome of it are cultural products too.
- layer8 1y agoThe word “content” is often perceived as devaluing creative work: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/movies/emma-thompson-writers-strike-content.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/movies/emma-thompson-writ... Paradoxically, it signals indifference or disregard about the actual contents of a work.
- majewsky 1y agoEevee put it best: > I absolutely cannot fucking stand creative work being referred to as "content". "Content" is how you refer to the stuff on a website when you're designing the layout and don't know what actually goes on the page yet. "Content" is how you refer to the collection of odds and ends in your car's trunk. "Content" is what marketers call the stuff that goes around the ads.
