If there was ever a time to make art it is now.

Who cares if it's bad?!

Bad art is GOOD now.

Post that shit, let's fuck up AI as much as we can.

@rooster Yeah! Art is joyous! Making bad art is still a happy thing! You don't have to try to get better at it, the fact that you're a human means art is in your blood. Let it out!
@rooster i am a professional artist and i am pleading daily with people who are discouraged by GenAI to keep making real art. a computer does not have perspective; people who can't even draw stick figures do!
@rooster I'm doing it!!! ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@rooster yes! and honestly even the worst art is better than AI slop

@rooster Just remember to tag it all as "hyperrealistic"

@rooster

Art is about human contact.

The illusion of human contact via Ai is an abomination!

@rooster it's always "make art even if it's bad" but when it's about liking bad art no one shows up because the people who have the resources and no impairing disabilities/trauma make better art and it gets all the views... I'm talking about the art no one watches because it's just not good enough. This is why some choose AI, sadly. I see no solution to this problem 
@rooster totally. As a fan of John Waters.. ๐Ÿ˜‚ also, I've always hated the term 'outsider art' or 'folk art' because I feel like ANYONE can and SHOULD be an artist if they want to, we all have the ability to make stuff and I love it. To hell with snobs and gatekeepers and rich jerks saying what 'good art' is, too.

@rooster Except AI "art". That's not art, and it's not yours.

Make *REAL* art, whatever and however that is for you, whoever "you" are.

@rooster I have learned how to hand-code SVGs, and I cannot be stopped!

@rooster here's a bad art I made about my city's lurch to the right on policing.

@rooster There is art that can't be so easily digitized. Lot's of objects stand outside of screens and speakers. I recently performed with my dear EDT 3.0 colleagues at the border. That is us backing down the Border Patrol. You all could go out and do something instead of worrying about your style getting copied! Just saying.
