Gimp is still not an alternative to Ps. Not even close.

I was responding to your comment specifically, which didn’t mention anything about professional use, and if you’ll re read it, you’ll find that I said “it depends on what you’re doing with it”, which even if you were talking about professional use, my statement perfectly aligns with your position. I even said to your average person (i.e. not someone using it professionally) it’s fine.

No need to get defensive and whip out terms from debate class, especially if the statement isn’t even a debate.

Depends on what you’re doing with it. For your average person it’s more than fine

You can do it on paper for free at least

Oh dope thank you

Can someone explain this to me like I’m an art major and didn’t get into tech?

Cus I like em

So you still look down on them for “magical thinking” even though you’ve experienced it? Isn’t that kinda blaming the victim?

Whelp didn’t notice the typo, so I guess thanks for pointing that out. I feel like they are blaming the victim a bit still though.

Can’t wait till they come out with the sky color scoop. Maybe a follow up on water wetness.

Damn, looking down on people trying to cling to whatever out they can find isn’t a good look

Why tf did they only test blind people?!

Don’t trust any doctor that graduated after 2024

What they gonna watch a movie for me too? Fucka my wife for me? Eat a steak for me? I can see this for games for kids like with that Mario example, but for everyone else seems like it would be a nuisance. At least have it be opt in.

This dude rules and is a freakin hero. Also love that the greatest invention was pressurized water device and this is pressurized hydrogen device.

Your example is shit. It would be more appropriate for when you commission a piece of work from someone, where they are using their skills and choices and you’re telling them what you want and don’t want on the sandwich.

AI doesn’t make choices when creating an image. It generates an image based off of other images and you hope that it gets something that follows some aesthetic principles that it’s lifting from other images. Just because you reroll the die doesn’t mean you’re choosing shit.

That “menial” process when you’re making art is literally the best part. When you’re painting a sky for the background of something you don’t want that just filled in, that’s where you can experiment and maybe even add an element that you weren’t thinking of before when you started the piece. AI can’t do that for you.

Way to shit on everyone who’s job it is to make those things.

Why do you think logos and so on have no artistic value? What defines value? Because if it’s influencing people and culture, then logos definitely do.

Corporate art sucks ass but it’s still made using choices, which ai doesn’t do.

Well I’m not going to slap you on the back and praise you for saying the equivalent of “I just eat potato chips anyway I don’t care if the new chips are made of styrofoam they still got flavor blasted”.

Also, I totally disagree with you. If I see a neat picture someone took from getting dropped onto earth from low orbit, I’m gonna think that’s way cooler than an ai image trying to emulate the same thing, even if I’m only looking at it for a second. I’m going to think a crudely drawn parody of a meme is funnier than an ai generated imitation of a meme, even if all I’m doing is making that little exhale with the nose instead of laughing.

There’s a difference. You can tell. If you’re so Internet addled you genuinely are saying you don’t think there’s a difference, then you’ve got like, negative skills in art appreciation.

If you think that it was an insult then that shows what shame you have for your lack of skill, not an intention on my part.

That’s like saying you cooked a chicken sandwich because you ordered it off the menu.

I was going to read this but stopped halfway through because my mind went “yeah that yeah another person who never bothered trying to draw having a hot take that’s just sucking off a tech bro”
