its very evident from their other replies that their metric for ‘good’ art is ‘is it beautiful?’ and their definition of ‘beauty’, in turn, is simply ‘does looking at this release dopamine or not’
deeply unserious person

that doesn’t answer my question though - what are you defining as a mediocre artist? or is anything that doesn’t fit the ‘hyper realistic AI’ look count as mediocre?
genuinely curious what you mean by ‘mediocre artists’ and the idea that Stable Diffusion has ‘surpassed’ them
do you have any examples? or is this just a vibes thing?
this is what it always comes down to
they don’t respect artists, they don’t respect artistic labour but they so desperately need and want the fruits of said labour and so the only option left is to cheat and lie
hell, it’s evident in the last sentence of their reply - that they see ‘Artist’ as a profession that is getting ‘Obsoleted’, as if the only reason art exists in the first place is because we as a society have been too archaic, and we would jump at the chance to drop the creative process in a heartbeat
complete and total alienation from creativity as a human experience
its not even that they don’t have the creativity - its that people have been so poisoned by commodity capitalism that they feel like their art ‘doesn’t count’ unless it looks like ‘real art’ that can make money
people are so isolated from the creative process that they think they can dump it entirely, as if all it is is just knowing how to scribble on a page
its more like the pizza shop calling you out when you’re cooking frozen pizza and calling yourself a chef
all power to you if you want to just consume slop, but dont complain when you turn around years later and the quality of everything across the board has gone even further to shit cos you were so happy you could type in words and see anything you wanted for all the 15 minutes of dopamine it gave you
there is literally a genocide being perpetrated by israel right now what do you mean america has prejudicial issues at astonishing levels comparatively
Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel is iconic, the claymation and dedication is insane for a music video from that time period
It’s okay to envy by Takayan is impressive for how it plays with the subtitling, trust me turn on Closed Captions for this and enjoy
Loretta by Ginger Root for how perfectly it captures an atmosphere and aesthetics of those late 80s/early 90s East/South East Asian music videos, it’s a vibe - plus him playing all members of the band/accompanying orchestra is also impressive in its own right
just a few off the top of me head
nah, The Scientist will always take a backseat to Drop by The Pharcyde which did the same thing, but years earlier in 1995 (and a rap track no less)
like it’s not even a competition in my mind
they always tell on themselves and their views of the world when they say things like ‘how can i be interested in an ideology’ as if it’s a hobby you dip into lmao
again, its just very clear you have no clue what graphic design involves, let alone anything else to do with the creative process
art really is just ‘pretty picture’ innit
