@daringfireball Was Hockney xeroxing other people's paintings to make his? How did you seriously press "publish" on this one? I hope no one tells you about camera photography. Or, heaven forbid, quilting or collage making.
@daringfireball another artist making quite compelling (in my opinion) art with the assistance of AI is Holly Herndon. https://holly.mirror.xyz/54ds2IiOnvthjGFkokFCoaI4EabytH9xjAYy1irHy94

I'm excited to finally share something I have been working on for the last year🪄 Holly+

@daringfireball Highly recommend the documentary “Tim’s Vermeer” about the use of technology in making art. Hockney is in it too!
@daringfireball long time reader since at least 2008. I am surprised at how far our PoVs have drifted apart over the years. Some of the takes lately…I really struggle with.
@daringfireball but he was doing the work - creating his shapes and manually layering them for the copies. You aren’t doing any creative work when prompting AI. You aren’t a filmmaker when you generate AI slop of yourself floating around space or whatever.
@daringfireball re AI art that's Actually Good™, see this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@NeuralViz . It works because the *writing* isn't AI — AI video brings the writing to life & makes it funnier. Perfect balance IMO

@daringfireball This again?

Why don’t you go back and read some of your own posts about Samsung’s moon camera feature back in, whenever it was, 2023?

It’s starting to seem a little suspicious that you were able to apply a reasonable framework of authorship and artistry back then, but not now, in relation to the generative “AI” of the current bubble.

Apple has worked out that this stuff is largely snake oil. Why haven’t you?
