Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I've noticed every chud grifter and politician (same thing, am I right? HAW HAW dad joke owl) seems to use AI art. For memes, for video thumbnails, for their dumb articles that only your 60 year old estranged relative reads, for their shitty Twitter "gotchas". They love that shit. The uglier the AI generated slop is the better. Why do you think that is? Lack of talent? Hatred of artists? What drives this love of poor quality?

Art ingratiates the proletariat to society, it is a ready means by which someone with nothing can impress themself upon the world in an unpredictable and humanizing way. This actively works against the fascist pillar of dehumanization.

Art helps us to understand eachother. This works against the fascist pillar of fear.

Art is the fundamental means by which human experience is expressed and explored. This works against the fascist pillar of suppression.

Fascists love AI art because it is fundamentally incapable of integrity or empathy, creative or otherwise.
