AI is like those artists who make perfect forgeries of famous paintings. Nobody would disagree that they are technically brilliant, it's the dishonesty and lack of originality that people don't like
Oct 21, 2026, 8:00 AM@anon_opin@mastodon.social I'd disagree they churn out mundane mediocre content relying on the most statistically likely output. There is no novelty.
@anon_opin yes, exactly, apart from them also being technically dogshit.
@anon_opin ah but see they are better than those forgers because they randomly mash up bits of famous paintings...

Except that forgery can be an art in itself. The money counterfeiter Jan Bojarski was clearly a genius. There's a recently released biopic worth watching: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Money_Maker

@anon_opin except I would deny that AI is "technically brilliant".

True.
Also, I found nothing dishonest in its approach when AI helped me to begin blocking more than a thousand anti-AI protesters.

Oct 22, 2026, 6:17 PM@hypolite Would a forger who makes an ugly forgery of "Girl with a Pearl Earring" in which the girl has three ears and no mouth be called "technically brilliant"?
Oct 22, 2026, 6:43 PM@hypolite Bless your heart.
@anon_opin
"Nobody"? This ain't it chief.
@anon_opin if they painted a Mona Lisa with 6 tits then, yeah.
@BoneHouseWasps mate don't tempt me
…. hmm, we'll soon work around this:
@fuzzy I believe in you.
not just following it's like she's stalking me
