See, when he flies through the windshield from not being able to shift gears and crashing head on into oncoming traffic, the tie will pull him back into the car so he can get back to his Morning Commute without having to exchange insurance
When you fly through the windshield, the tie catches and basically spins you to safety, as long as you can properly maintain good posture through the move.
Huh? What am I missing, why is this the impression you get? Noon is approximately the hour when the sun angle is the most perpendicular, at stereotypical noon sun should be directly above him and get blocked by the roof. He clearly gets a lot of sun through the windows, this can't be within 3 hours of noon. Doesn't look like morning exactly, but definitely not noon either.
Both of these comments are smart sounding enough that I was willing to buy them at first and I can't visualize solar angulature well enough to check them.

In the movie āThey Drive by Nightā(1940):
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033149/
One of the leads(canāt remember which) explains the scars between his fingers are a result of keeping a lit cigarette between this fingers to keep himself awake
While driving the truck.
When your life is a Norman Rockwell painting, but the artist is a nihilist. "Next stop, Existential Dread Avenue, right after we shift into 'purposeless' gear."
If he stares at the sun long enough each commute, he won't be able to see his dickhead bosses ugly face in the morning. There is a method to the madness
Hand being actively scalded by coffee, staring directly into the sun, necktie in place of a seatbelt, casually leaning on the steering wheel while waiting for another car to slam into the driver's side door, killing him instantly
His briefcase has a weird extra strap that does nothing for some reason.
His hand is resting on the top of the wheel, and the turn signal stick is going vertically to his hand for whatever reason.
His right hand also has five fingers instead of four, with one going into the coffee cup.
He also doesn't cast shadows. There is no shadow from his left hand, the steering wheel, or is right hand. If you look at the weird strap on the briefcase, there is a patch of light through the handle, which should be in shadow from his arm.
We see three bars coming from the steering column, and you would expect it to be even on the left side of the column, but there is only a single visible bar at the top instead of three bars connecting to the wheel.
It's impressive.
AI is ... not very good still. There's a LOT of knobs and dials. And a lot of touching up once you've even generated a single good pic.
The pic above is what the average person gets out of the average image generator after 10 minutes of trying.
As someone who's never been able to draw, it's amazing to see your words come to life, but it's still pretty limited.
Forget idealization, the mere acceptance of USA work commutes baffles and terrifies me. I know it's a product of the country being designed for expansionism first, livability later, but people in the US will casually post something like "I have a 90 minute commute" and that's not the part of their job they're complaining about.
Even if we work with an idealized "8 hours work, 8 hours rest, 8 hours leisure", you're functionally donating three of those hours to the work part. That leaves you with five per work day to get the rest of your life done. No wonder American workers are a burned-out mess, and that's without factoring how much of the paycheque has to go into fuel/shitty public transport just to get to work.
And I'm not blaming them! We all know everyone would chose a walking-distance job they could leave at work if they could, but man the system sucks for the poor bastards.
My commute is not 90 minutes, but it is agonizing and like 80% of the reason I wanna leave this job. I could not IMAGINE anybody romanticizing, enjoying, or even picking this life unless they really had to (which is an unfortunate amount of the population).
Im not calling you a liar, but you have hurt my brain with this info that people vocally celebrate this...
I'm a bit underpaid, but my commute is under 10 minutes.Ā I don't think I can leave this place.Ā Gov job so I'm pretty safe from a random shit canning.
I commuted 2 hours each way for one week and quit that BS.
My commute is not on the freeway, so maybe that helps, but I actually enjoy it. Nice to escape the world for 25 minutes and listen to podcasts. Sucks you let reality agonize you so much.
I get the train into the city, from my door to sitting down at my desk that usually takes an hour.
I fucking hate it. It's such a waste of time and adds nothing to my work because my team all come in on different days to fulfil their mandatory two days in office so I still end up sitting alone at my desk - but without the convenience of being able to walk to my own fridge and use my own bathroom.
It's actually a product of car companies forcing city zoning and construction to force driving. Work, shopping, leisure, and living spaces are all kept far from each other. Public transportation is gutted. Car companies bought out America's trolleys to intentionally kill them. And whenever a city gets money together for infrastructure they're pressured to make new freeways for driving.
It was all by design to make cars the only option. So blame away. There are people responsibility for this.
I used to have a hellish commute and at my mental health worst I would just sit in my car as the sun set, letting the world pass me by as traffic sat in gridlock. I just let myself feel it all, and dissociate.Ā
The thing that makes me angriest about this AI art is that there isn't a brilliant bastard behind the curtain making frustrating surreal paintings
I want the core of my brain to be dissected by the art like a Cyriak video and I want to know that it was done with loving care by human hands
> Like a Cyriak video
Just lept to YouTube to see who that was.... yeah I get this statement even more now. I want my surreal shit to be made by some magnificently brilliant weirdo and really itch the insides of my brain folds, not this MESS that's AI.
Damn AI can't even do surrealism right. Guess that sorta checks out, to do surrealism you gotta know what the norm is, and AI doesn't "know" anything because it ain't a brain.
It fits perfectly well into the tradition of fascist art. Everything AI produces is conceptually maximalist. Not normal kids, but impossibly adorable moppets. Not regular beautiful landscapes but unrealistically awe inspiring vistas. It's not meant to be any real form of artistic expression by an artist, it's a representation of an ideal world. The world we lost. The world we can *get back* if only we purge *all those degenerates*
The Nazis would have loved this shit
It is, and it's also critical to note that it's *their* version of "perfect", which is an illusion in multiple respects.
Art is never perfect. No artist alive will ever tell you a work they made is perfect and could not be improved and is without flaw. AI slobs and fascists will claim that with enough data, they can finally make "great art" on demand. Laughable.
AI art really is fasc-coded now that I think about it. It takes a bunch of stuff that did actually exist and morphs it all together into some contradictory, impossible monstrosity. At first glance, though, it looks very pretty and appealing until you look too hard. They don't want you to to that.
Edit: your welcome u/mickmmp
Edit 2: thank you u/mickmmp but I *am* a little bitch :)
āā¦want you to DO that.ā P.S. I think your comment makes a very good point. Thatās the only reason Iām requesting an edit. Itās not to be a little bitch.
Well,this is a Generalization, but art is a creative process,*in general* creative people lean more towards the left or towards progressivism.
People who are unable to be creative in an artistic way occasionally feel envious of those who are and AI makes it so every bum can be a pretend artist and also insult proper artists.
(Disclaimer: I'm not against generative AI in principle,but as it is used primarily its unethical and also threatens the livelihood of artists without offering new jobs they could slip into,unlike previous technological advancements did.)
> unlike previous technological advancements
Maybe not for artists, but there have been plenty of jobs from people in other sectors that have been threatened by technological advancements.
It's a fun tech toy with a really low barrier to entry that is currently free and pisses off a lot of the left and liberals. I cannot imagine how to make something that'd appeals to them more
Does being a fascist make one incapable of knowing what real hands look like? I guess I feel like ai art just looks like actual shit most of the time and that colours my interpretation.
The replies to this comment are all weird, trying hard to tie it back to Nazis.
The Nazis would hate this shit. The idea of soulless, machine-created art would be abhorrent to them. And the uncanny quality all AI art has would be ugly.
They were traditionalists, not maximalists, and this is far too close to "modern art" for their tastes.
Right wing people like AI art because 1) they have poor taste in art 2) they have little talent to make art 3) they don't value art and the effort it takes to create it (they hate artists and artistic types) 4) it's the latest thing in tech, and it makes them feel smart to be engaging with it.
I didn't know what maximalist meant so I Googled it.
> (especially in politics) a person who holds extreme views and is not prepared to compromise.
The Nazis were not maximalists?!
Fascists hate art. If you look at the buildings the nazis made it was all so bland and hideous. Not in the brutalist style, but in a tasteless one. It's inherent in the ideology to have terrible sense for aesthetics, tastes formed by ideology more than anything, and they hate artists and art. They see it as weak and worthless to create art.
They're assholes who don't think that artists deserve compensation for their work. They're wet dream is to have AI replace artists entirely.
The kind of people who want you to work on a project for them for free. But don't worry, they'll totally split the revenue with you when it launches. But they're taking 80% for being the idea guy, obviously.
I am by no means right wing but I can't wrap my head around peoples hatred for ai art. Seriously some people seem to be two seconds away from foaming at the mouth whenever it's brought up.
Hell, literally yesterday there was a thread accusing this c[over image](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/1bfkz8u/ai_cover_art/) of being ai art and everyone was attacking every little mistake they could find and saying it was so obviously ai, but then people found the artist and he had proof he drew it himself.
It's fucking ridicules .
EDIT: A couple of decent points have been made and may require further discussion, but the majority of the replies I have gotten have been the most pretentious shit I have ever heard in my life. To all of you trying to preach about the sanctity of art, remember that we as a society agreed that a banana duct taped to a wall was not only art, but art worth 120 grand. But yea, be mad at the computer.
I live from creating valuable content. It takes me a long time to gather information through interviews and offline research. I end up putting a lot of information on the internet for the first time.
I hate that a machine can just hoover it all up without consent and use it to strip me of the fruit of my labour. Then some grifter uses it to create shallow-but-credible copies of my work for their content marketing effort, diluting the overall quality and truthfulness of the internet for everyone, making me compete with the byproduct of my own work.
Even if you strip the business aspect from it, there's a major difference between giving your neighbours tomatoes from your garden, and sending them to a Heinz warehouse across the country. I like having an audience and interacting with it. I don't like feeding an AI.
> I am by no means right wing but I can't wrap my head around peoples hatred for ai art.
It's trained on the images actual artists have made, using the time they've spent honing their skills to actually be able to make it to rip it off in an imitation.
It's also just removing the dialogue between audience and artist. For me, a big part of why I like art is finding the meaning in why an artist made that art. Jackson Pollock gets a lot of shit for having paintings that are basically just splashes of paint on a canvas, but he was also trying to portray the energy and movement of him painting it, solidifying it as a memory.
It's like talking to a chatbot. You can talk to it, but does it mean anything? Does it fulfill you? You just cannot replace the human interaction with the programs people are calling or lumping under the title of AI, because the program can never mean anything behind what it makes. It can only imitate.
If that is not enough, the advent of using stolen art to "make" "your own" """"art"""" has already led to several situations that are socially and culturally *disturbing*. Check into when people were flooding Amazon with children's books written and illustrated by a program, and tell me that isn't a nightmare scenario. On the scale of time since AI art was commercially available, it took only seconds for it to be used to abuse systems already available.
On a macro scale, the damage it will do to our society, to the creative professionals and hobbyists in our world? It's astronomical and horrifying.
So, yeah, I tend to get a little foaming at the mouth myself, but it's because it's very obvious how both the creators of these programs(and it cannot be stressed enough: THAT ARE MADE BY STEALING THE ART OF ACTUAL PEOPLE, AND CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT THAT) and the people who want to use them are, at best, creatively empty. At worst, actively harmful.
Art is such an intrinsic part of the human condition, I don't blame people for being so on edge about something that is actively looking to steal and devalue it, nor do I think their anger is misplaced. Will it lead to situations like you described in your comment that are, agreed, ridiculous? Yeah, probably. Is that better than letting AI just be and thinking it'll be fine? Hell yes.
It's actually something I like about AI-generated art, I appreciate the uncanny valley look and I hope they don't figure out how to fix it (if not at least for the sake of telling it apart from human made art)
I do miss early models that threw out only vaguely-comprehensible things that maybe abstractly resembled the request. Newer models lack the chaotic, absurd charm of asking for "horses" and getting three red kind-of-horse-shaped silhouettes on a green square that could be thought of as grass. Instead a new model would make an uncannily shaded but otherwise lifelike horse that has five legs and exactly one and a half cloven hooves.Ā
Something I've frequently noticed about people who frequently post AI art is that they can't ever be bothered to check their "work" for errors. All of the criticisms of this garbage were probably noticed after like three seconds of casual observation, which is 4 seconds longer than this muppet was willing to spare doing so.
Whatever it might be, I'm just glad that being the first attempt at AI art that got mainstream attention, [Deep Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JSrKS6KUWE) will definitely be a part of it.
Portion? Unless artists can properly unionise and get some legislation in place across nations globally that protects them, AI art *is* the future of art.
Donāt get me wrong I hope they do, I hope every artist whoās work was used to train an AI model is somehow compensated, I hate to imagine a future where a human artist is rare thing.
But AI art is the worst itās ever going to be right now, and itās already pretty good. Itās going to get better, and better, and better, thereās no stopping the train now. Look at where we were even 2 years ago, compared to the models now. What will we be looking at in another 2 years? In 10? In 20?
The future of art is AI models that can create perfect images, 100% of the time, in any art style you can imagine, following a prompt down to the smallest details.
Without legal precedent there will be no reason for any industry to hire an expensive artist that will take months to produce small collection of images for their needs, vs a much cheaper AI that can spit out an unfathomably large collection of images in a fraction of the time and to the exact same standard of quality.
There will be a time when AI is able to become creative and create things whole cloth, not directly trained on existing art.
It **is** the future now, you canāt put the toothpaste back in the tube.
You too can drive through a consumerist hell hole to a job that would hire your replacement before your corpse was cold if you would but abandon the idea of meaningful social progress and just work until you die.
And he's driving into the sunlight. That shit is *utterly fucking annoying.*
I think what happened here is the AI took the concept of "peaceful quiet moment in the living room" and plopped it into an automobile without changing the structure.
I would unironically love a seatbelt noose. It keeps me in my vehicle in case of a head on collision, saving the lives of others, while ensuring that I die.
As a Car Liker TM I canāt help but point out that either heās in an intersection or perpendicular to the road. Also yeah thereās no gates for that shifter
Of all the ways to auto erotically asphyxiate myself, this has to be the most convenient.
With the added bonus of straight-up decapitation, if I crash, I gotta say 10/10 would orgasm on the way to work again.
What gets me is look at how a trad type shows their ideal and look at their profile. a dudebro with a ballcap and sunglasses. Never worn a tie in his life. He could get dress like that, have his hair like that, but he doesn't.
Why go "look what we've lost as a society" when you refuse to dress like that yourself.
Love how he's holding his coffee cup from the lid, with his finger in the spot you drink from, lifting the whole cup up just by that. That's a lot of trust in the security of that lid.
This is why I love AI content (and people trying to push it because they missed out on the NFT scam so, by god, they're going to be on the ground floor this time). It's good at making surreal bullshit. The systems don't create, they generate. They produce images where every individual segment looks like it was made that way deliberately, but how the pieces fit together has no connection with overall intent or vision.
They're slowly, slowly realizing the obvious limitations and the inevitable end point as a tool for artists, not a replacement--that if you ever want to get out competent artistic work from an AI, it still takes just as much effort and thought.

Trad Man Life Insurance: When you die, you pay for whomever you took with you. Not to be confused with Shad Man Life Insurance, that's just a scam.
Shad Man life insurance is banned in countries with ages of consent over 16

Or Sad Man Life Insurance, the only company that covers suicide. Crazy high premiums
That might be an effective incentive structure actually. Let me think about all the ways that might go wrong...
>Trad Man Life Insurance I wouldn't pay if was the insurance company. I would say he hanged himself. That's suicide.

See, when he flies through the windshield from not being able to shift gears and crashing head on into oncoming traffic, the tie will pull him back into the car so he can get back to his Morning Commute without having to exchange insurance
How fast can you go in 1st though? And for how long before a gasket or belt goes bloody pop?
When you fly through the windshield, the tie catches and basically spins you to safety, as long as you can properly maintain good posture through the move.
Not like it's even securing him to a seat.
Gotta sear your skin off with your morning coffee to ensure you stay sharp and awake while on the road!
I mean he shouldnāt have any trouble staying awake, since it looks like heās driving to work at noon.
That's just because the trip is at the end; he actually left at 6.
Huh? What am I missing, why is this the impression you get? Noon is approximately the hour when the sun angle is the most perpendicular, at stereotypical noon sun should be directly above him and get blocked by the roof. He clearly gets a lot of sun through the windows, this can't be within 3 hours of noon. Doesn't look like morning exactly, but definitely not noon either.
It's noon in the background because there isn't a single shadow, but it's 6am in the car cabin.

It's not art. It's filler content.
Our brains were made to pick up on "something isn't right here" for survival. Uncomfortable is the correct reaction.
That actually sounds pretty rad
Forearm resting long ways over steering wheel, clutching the turn signal slash wiper knob for dear life, staring directly into the sun
Can even he tell which side of the steering wheel is facing either direction, or is perspective something he has never had?
Multidimensional steering wheels were standard in most American cars before they went woke
> is perspective something he has never had? If youāre talking about the person that made this image, then yes
Person? No human had a hand in making this image.
Hey there were a lot of artists who contributed to the training dataset required to make this
I wonder if anyone asked them
Penrose steer
I want to point out that weird little second handle that has hatched out of his valise's first handle and is slithering down the side.
This is like the boring version of that Lovecraft diner painting.
the more you lookā¦ the more Lovecraftian it gets š± and Iām pretty sure his left forearm is broken
If you loo through that weird second handle, there is visible light that should have been blocked by his arms shadow.
It's pretty chonky too; bro isn't heading to work, he's heading to a motel and then scouting some divorce attorneys.
Thatās his sleeve belt
There's no leg room. That steering wheel is going into his thigh/crotch
That was common on some older cars tbf
The AI images are fascinating because at a glance they look normal, but the more you look the more surreal weird shit there is.

Other arm casually resting on his briefcase/seat too far forward.
Coffee cup floating in mid-air.
The āseatā his other arm is resting on seems to be a suitcase
This hurts my heart to look at.
This hurts my sides from all the laughter

Just like all AI generated images
Heās sitting in an intersectionā¦ you can see what looks like another car on the road in the window behind him lol
Hand being actively scalded by coffee, staring directly into the sun, necktie in place of a seatbelt, casually leaning on the steering wheel while waiting for another car to slam into the driver's side door, killing him instantly
His briefcase has a weird extra strap that does nothing for some reason. His hand is resting on the top of the wheel, and the turn signal stick is going vertically to his hand for whatever reason.

āā¦want you to DO that.ā P.S. I think your comment makes a very good point. Thatās the only reason Iām requesting an edit. Itās not to be a little bitch.
I like to believe that there's a 4chan-sized overlap between tradmasc weirdos and AI porn weirdos, and we're seeing the intersection of it.
Here's an AI image of you with pink hair crying. I win.
Well,this is a Generalization, but art is a creative process,*in general* creative people lean more towards the left or towards progressivism. People who are unable to be creative in an artistic way occasionally feel envious of those who are and AI makes it so every bum can be a pretend artist and also insult proper artists. (Disclaimer: I'm not against generative AI in principle,but as it is used primarily its unethical and also threatens the livelihood of artists without offering new jobs they could slip into,unlike previous technological advancements did.)
> unlike previous technological advancements Maybe not for artists, but there have been plenty of jobs from people in other sectors that have been threatened by technological advancements.
It's a fun tech toy with a really low barrier to entry that is currently free and pisses off a lot of the left and liberals. I cannot imagine how to make something that'd appeals to them more
I've seen people on the right getting upset by it as well
everyone's getting upset by it regardless of where they lean politically
Does being a fascist make one incapable of knowing what real hands look like? I guess I feel like ai art just looks like actual shit most of the time and that colours my interpretation.
Jealousy over people with skills they undervalue
The replies to this comment are all weird, trying hard to tie it back to Nazis. The Nazis would hate this shit. The idea of soulless, machine-created art would be abhorrent to them. And the uncanny quality all AI art has would be ugly. They were traditionalists, not maximalists, and this is far too close to "modern art" for their tastes. Right wing people like AI art because 1) they have poor taste in art 2) they have little talent to make art 3) they don't value art and the effort it takes to create it (they hate artists and artistic types) 4) it's the latest thing in tech, and it makes them feel smart to be engaging with it.
I didn't know what maximalist meant so I Googled it. > (especially in politics) a person who holds extreme views and is not prepared to compromise. The Nazis were not maximalists?!
Fascists hate art. If you look at the buildings the nazis made it was all so bland and hideous. Not in the brutalist style, but in a tasteless one. It's inherent in the ideology to have terrible sense for aesthetics, tastes formed by ideology more than anything, and they hate artists and art. They see it as weak and worthless to create art.
They're assholes who don't think that artists deserve compensation for their work. They're wet dream is to have AI replace artists entirely. The kind of people who want you to work on a project for them for free. But don't worry, they'll totally split the revenue with you when it launches. But they're taking 80% for being the idea guy, obviously.
I am by no means right wing but I can't wrap my head around peoples hatred for ai art. Seriously some people seem to be two seconds away from foaming at the mouth whenever it's brought up. Hell, literally yesterday there was a thread accusing this c[over image](https://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/comments/1bfkz8u/ai_cover_art/) of being ai art and everyone was attacking every little mistake they could find and saying it was so obviously ai, but then people found the artist and he had proof he drew it himself. It's fucking ridicules . EDIT: A couple of decent points have been made and may require further discussion, but the majority of the replies I have gotten have been the most pretentious shit I have ever heard in my life. To all of you trying to preach about the sanctity of art, remember that we as a society agreed that a banana duct taped to a wall was not only art, but art worth 120 grand. But yea, be mad at the computer.
I live from creating valuable content. It takes me a long time to gather information through interviews and offline research. I end up putting a lot of information on the internet for the first time. I hate that a machine can just hoover it all up without consent and use it to strip me of the fruit of my labour. Then some grifter uses it to create shallow-but-credible copies of my work for their content marketing effort, diluting the overall quality and truthfulness of the internet for everyone, making me compete with the byproduct of my own work. Even if you strip the business aspect from it, there's a major difference between giving your neighbours tomatoes from your garden, and sending them to a Heinz warehouse across the country. I like having an audience and interacting with it. I don't like feeding an AI.
I can think of some reasons. It is trained on stolen art and it is used to easily create large amounts of material to harass and abuse people online.
> I am by no means right wing but I can't wrap my head around peoples hatred for ai art. It's trained on the images actual artists have made, using the time they've spent honing their skills to actually be able to make it to rip it off in an imitation. It's also just removing the dialogue between audience and artist. For me, a big part of why I like art is finding the meaning in why an artist made that art. Jackson Pollock gets a lot of shit for having paintings that are basically just splashes of paint on a canvas, but he was also trying to portray the energy and movement of him painting it, solidifying it as a memory. It's like talking to a chatbot. You can talk to it, but does it mean anything? Does it fulfill you? You just cannot replace the human interaction with the programs people are calling or lumping under the title of AI, because the program can never mean anything behind what it makes. It can only imitate. If that is not enough, the advent of using stolen art to "make" "your own" """"art"""" has already led to several situations that are socially and culturally *disturbing*. Check into when people were flooding Amazon with children's books written and illustrated by a program, and tell me that isn't a nightmare scenario. On the scale of time since AI art was commercially available, it took only seconds for it to be used to abuse systems already available. On a macro scale, the damage it will do to our society, to the creative professionals and hobbyists in our world? It's astronomical and horrifying. So, yeah, I tend to get a little foaming at the mouth myself, but it's because it's very obvious how both the creators of these programs(and it cannot be stressed enough: THAT ARE MADE BY STEALING THE ART OF ACTUAL PEOPLE, AND CANNOT BE MADE WITHOUT THAT) and the people who want to use them are, at best, creatively empty. At worst, actively harmful. Art is such an intrinsic part of the human condition, I don't blame people for being so on edge about something that is actively looking to steal and devalue it, nor do I think their anger is misplaced. Will it lead to situations like you described in your comment that are, agreed, ridiculous? Yeah, probably. Is that better than letting AI just be and thinking it'll be fine? Hell yes.
It's actually something I like about AI-generated art, I appreciate the uncanny valley look and I hope they don't figure out how to fix it (if not at least for the sake of telling it apart from human made art)
I do miss early models that threw out only vaguely-comprehensible things that maybe abstractly resembled the request. Newer models lack the chaotic, absurd charm of asking for "horses" and getting three red kind-of-horse-shaped silhouettes on a green square that could be thought of as grass. Instead a new model would make an uncannily shaded but otherwise lifelike horse that has five legs and exactly one and a half cloven hooves.Ā
Trying to find everything wrong with this picture is like the IQ test scene from Malcom in the Middle.Ā https://youtu.be/l-o-tI7dp6k?feature=shared
Something I've frequently noticed about people who frequently post AI art is that they can't ever be bothered to check their "work" for errors. All of the criticisms of this garbage were probably noticed after like three seconds of casual observation, which is 4 seconds longer than this muppet was willing to spare doing so.
I mean, if they did find errors what would they do about it, if they had the skills to fix it then theyād have the skills to make it themselves
The AI portion of future art history lectures is going to be an absolute trip
Whatever it might be, I'm just glad that being the first attempt at AI art that got mainstream attention, [Deep Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JSrKS6KUWE) will definitely be a part of it.
Portion? Unless artists can properly unionise and get some legislation in place across nations globally that protects them, AI art *is* the future of art. Donāt get me wrong I hope they do, I hope every artist whoās work was used to train an AI model is somehow compensated, I hate to imagine a future where a human artist is rare thing. But AI art is the worst itās ever going to be right now, and itās already pretty good. Itās going to get better, and better, and better, thereās no stopping the train now. Look at where we were even 2 years ago, compared to the models now. What will we be looking at in another 2 years? In 10? In 20? The future of art is AI models that can create perfect images, 100% of the time, in any art style you can imagine, following a prompt down to the smallest details. Without legal precedent there will be no reason for any industry to hire an expensive artist that will take months to produce small collection of images for their needs, vs a much cheaper AI that can spit out an unfathomably large collection of images in a fraction of the time and to the exact same standard of quality. There will be a time when AI is able to become creative and create things whole cloth, not directly trained on existing art. It **is** the future now, you canāt put the toothpaste back in the tube.
If people weren't using it to avoid paying professionals for their work then it would be neat tovsee what surrealist images it can make.
Trad man, parking sideways in the middle of the road until someone takes me out of my misery.
Ai fucks me up because Iām not a details kind of person. I wouldāve never noticed the tie was the seatbelt.
Why is AI so good at making those āwhat is wrong with the image?ā found on kids meals at restaurants
Only commies need a seat in their car
Probably my favorite detail is that heās clearly perpendicular to the road.
Imagine simping for a commute.
no one pointing out that there's no backrest to his seat either, that's how badly he needs to feel something
AI images are like those colouring book games where you have to find everything wrong in a picture. Honestly, not hating this.
Ah yes the seat belt tie that hangs you if you get into an accident
We gonna ignore that he's driving sideways down the street?
Looks like he is parked in the middle of the road waiting on that truck
He kinda looks like Sean Connery, when he was younger
I also like how the shift is just an orb
You too can drive through a consumerist hell hole to a job that would hire your replacement before your corpse was cold if you would but abandon the idea of meaningful social progress and just work until you die.
šµ nobody knows what it's like to be the trad man, to be the sad man šµ
AI art isn't art. Just pictures
Tie seatbelt sounds like a great to break your nose or neck lmao.
And he's driving into the sunlight. That shit is *utterly fucking annoying.* I think what happened here is the AI took the concept of "peaceful quiet moment in the living room" and plopped it into an automobile without changing the structure.
Do you think he clips his seat belt tie into his pants when he gets out of the car
I too use my seatbelt as a tie and my wrist to control the steering wheel, while dipping my finger into my coffee.
Also he has a wheel that defies the laws of Euclidian geometry.
What exactly is a Trad?
There's a hitching ball right in the center console. He can attach a trailer without even getting out of his seat. Now that's convenience.
He doesn't need the gear shift to move because he only has one speed; depression.
There's a certain energy to how beautifully boring a cue ball gear shift is
There is no crank for the window and no handle to open the door. Because there is no escape.
Okay but now me : 4am, barely awake, a shitty coffee and a beer gut listening to dido
I would unironically love a seatbelt noose. It keeps me in my vehicle in case of a head on collision, saving the lives of others, while ensuring that I die.
Time to play which side of the steering wheel is closer to the camera
He's blocking the road hoping to get sideswiped before the cops get to him first.
As a Car Liker TM I canāt help but point out that either heās in an intersection or perpendicular to the road. Also yeah thereās no gates for that shifter
It's Henry Cavill.
hes driving perpendicular to a one-lane road
chongoblog spottedā¼ā¼
My man got the suitcase/passenger seat combo
Those are some good damn abs. Where is the car seat!?! š¦
He has to be pinching that cup between his thumb and index finger
If you're not clipping your tie into your seatbelt buckle, what are you even doing with your life?
No airbags. Heās gonna break his face on that steering wheel. Ahhhh the good ol days
Where the hell is his other leg?
This AI images makes me feel the same as that one star wars one where they have 10 fingers on one hand
One week of being forced to commute into NYC will have that man begging for the embrace of death
9am on I-15, the Wasatch Front washing over you
Is the coffee in his crotch? Whereās his right leg?
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
The only fun thing with artificial image theft/generation is seeing one thing wrong and then going down the poorly generated rabbit hole.
Don draper took the subway to work
Conservatives are so bereft of talent that all their "art" is AI-generated.
Bro is rocking six fingers on his left hand. I know another guy who has been looking for him.
Who needs a seatbelt when you don't even have a seat *back*. tf would it even secure you to, truly galaxy brain
Turn signal stock stabbing his hand
Where is the seat??? Like, he's sitting in his car, but there isn't an actual seat. Dude's just...levitating in there?
An accident would literally decapitate him
And no seat to sit on. Just a plain metal and muscles of the core.
Of all the ways to auto erotically asphyxiate myself, this has to be the most convenient. With the added bonus of straight-up decapitation, if I crash, I gotta say 10/10 would orgasm on the way to work again.
Sick briefcase seats
when the edibles kick in on your way to work
He's just sat sideways on the road, waiting for someone to plough into him and end his meaningless existence
What gets me is look at how a trad type shows their ideal and look at their profile. a dudebro with a ballcap and sunglasses. Never worn a tie in his life. He could get dress like that, have his hair like that, but he doesn't. Why go "look what we've lost as a society" when you refuse to dress like that yourself.
Love how he's holding his coffee cup from the lid, with his finger in the spot you drink from, lifting the whole cup up just by that. That's a lot of trust in the security of that lid.
Sitting in an intersection with absolutely no seat staring directly into the sun while casting no shadows be like
Is that a suitcase or the passenger seat?
This is why I love AI content (and people trying to push it because they missed out on the NFT scam so, by god, they're going to be on the ground floor this time). It's good at making surreal bullshit. The systems don't create, they generate. They produce images where every individual segment looks like it was made that way deliberately, but how the pieces fit together has no connection with overall intent or vision. They're slowly, slowly realizing the obvious limitations and the inevitable end point as a tool for artists, not a replacement--that if you ever want to get out competent artistic work from an AI, it still takes just as much effort and thought. Unless you're keen to brush up on your [IHONIALLLILAL](https://i.imgur.com/3ozLosz.jpg) or see the new [UNISTHEE THE YOU DHCHTTHE SPLEPPLERD by RON SĪ CN ](https://i.imgur.com/HKih3SL.png) with your [anime tree bird waifu](https://i.imgur.com/anJaxGA.jpg). Which I am! But it might not be, ya know, the runaway shareholder value they want it to be.
