badposting
badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Art is the process, not the end result.
Typing "shitty catgirl picture" into an AI image generator is exactly as much art as me typing "shitty catgirl picture" into this comment box. Which we'll agree is not the same as actually drawing a shitty catgirl picture.
AI gen fans will sometimes try to say that adding all their extra keywords and specifying things exactly is an artistic skill, but this is exactly the same process as typing "black_sweater gray_jacket hair_behind_ear looking_down male_focus" into gelbooru. Sure the picture you find by doing that on a booru is art, but you didn't make it.
god fucking dammit...
oh my fucking god that's genuinely impressive lmao
Right, so the process and intent I used to create that string of tags is art, but it's fundamentally not the same thing as actually drawing a picture.
?

I said it was, two comments up.

Barely related, if at all, but also, trying to narrow in on a desirable result by refining the prompt over multiple turns is like playing a slot machine, just spinning the thingie with unpredictable reward timing / unreliable success.
It's just being a gacha consumer while soothing yourself with the story that you're Doing Art.
But doing art isn't like that unless maybe you're CIA darling Jackson Pollock.
