The comissioner would almost be forced to take it for the sake of decency. Which ultimately is another advantage of AI Is anyone ever satisfied with their job?

A throne. Made from the bones and/or covered in the skin

How could it be otherwise? Those artists aren't expressing themself. They're expressing somebody else's idea as described through a short prompt. If art really is supposed to be as much about personal expression as people here are saying then it follows that taking comissions makes you a sell...

Explain to me why, given that the prompt is human created, AI generated art couldn't express the user's beliefs, values, emotions, politics, etc. if they were sufficiently described in the prompt? I suppose one could argue that there isn't enough space in the prompt to sufficiently describe...

That's a very good point. Now that you mention it I generally gain less enjoyment from things that are unique or out of print because it feels like I have to take care of them

I agree as such, however it's important to understand that this is a matter of degrees. The prompt is a human artifact, and it likely came from an emotion and may well create an emotion in the viewer, and it requires every bit as much skill and mastery as anything created by Jackson Pollock

If we accept the implication of this is it raises the followup question: Is there any justice at all in the film and recording industries being so much more profitable and respected than live performers? A movie star does their job once with nobody watching and peddles a bunch of cheap copies...

Conventional wisdom would seem to say yes, but when you look at digital art and really examine what's happening the answer is probably no. Every time you move a file between drives you're making a copy and deleting the original. Every time you move files between servers you're making a copy. For...

Learning to draw is incidental. Drawing (or sculpting, or painting, or whatever) is just a means of translating the image in your head into something visible to others

How did that limit even come about? Like, I heard somewhere that it somehow goes back to alphanumeric pager technology, which seems ridiculous to me. That's like having a limitation that's a holdover from carrier pigeons or the pony express

Milli Vanilli lied about what they were for years and from the start. Based on the article it seems that these guys didn't. At most they seem to have tacitly allowed an unaffiliated third party to lie about them for a couple of days after they were already established.

By that metric it can have artistic value becuase it's a human operating the AI. As long as they have something clever or meaningful to say with it, it can be meaningful in the same way the toilet is. For example, I'd argue that the way the Twitch streamer and youtuber wayneradiotv uses it has...

The real value you should evaluate is entertainment value EDIT: As for cultural significance, that comes from being a cultural touchstone. Artistic value is tangential. Reality TV and pop music are culturally significant

Kind of like the remake of Plan 9, nobody complained about that.

That's exactly what I was going to say. Pop music has been corporate slop for decades. I remember we were already joking that all the pop stars were mass-produced robots way back in the 1990's. At least this new thing is relatively honest about what it is.

It just occurred to me that most or probably all of these movies and media were never patented, so a technology based on them ought to simply be legal regardless of fair use

I wish I could suss out how to get Stay Tooned to run on a modern PC

*A fantasy or science fiction themed strategy game that deals with two different species that are radically different sizes. It is either simultaneously a citybuilder and a basebuilder (the smaller species city is the larger species' base) or else a simultaneous citybuilder and 4x/grand-strategy...

I want a game that uses AI to infinitely expand something along the lines of Scribblenauts in the same way that Infinite Craft infinitely expanded the gameplay of Doodle God

does the end of an empire in this sense need to be a balkanization or are they counting nominal regime changes as the ends of empires as well?
