I got this one as a fridge magnet

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It doesn't look like AI to me, just regular old compositing.
This painting makes me think of my grandma actually. Befpre she passed this was one of the painitings she had hung up in her house So when I see this painting I'm brought back to that moment I childhood. The cat doesn't even match the style.
WTF. I have a print of this specific Klimt painting hanging over my fireplace. The cat looks very out of place, and not just because I'm used to seeing it without the cat.
It's because it's looking at YOU instead of looking at the people it's trying to get attention from. Also comparatively, that cat is fucking huge. Like it's an adolescent panther.
Is anybody surprised TJ Maxx would use AI slop to sell more cheap junk shit?
And then there's JJK with an homage.

That is so sick. You know I didn't really love that character or his whole movie plot the bug kiss was amazing. Instantly made me reconsider.
The whole season's intro is a treasure of classic art references.
It's not even SATIRE, or good, or ironic, or even jive with the rest of the piece. My time on this earth is limited and the time I spent looking at that was a complete and utter waste.
Lame. If I had one of these I would paint over the cat and put my own in its place.
It's amazing how AI takes the world's art and makes new and original styles leaving you with no idea which artists it's drawing from! I guess we'll have to make a new name for this completely original and never before seen AI artist! Totally original art! Couldn't possibly guess who they've ~~drawn inspiration~~ stolen from. \s
