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:

  1. 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
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. 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

There they will be FORCED to pick up a PENCIL and DRAW and WRITE POETRY, BY HAND!

"Nooooooo, I just wanted to write prompts to make shitty catgirl pictures!"

"You will draw a pretty flower or be shot."

Thing is, if someone dictates to a prompt, I want catgirl picture. No, blonde. Make her taller. Try a more sci-fi background. Now a more intimidating face.

That’s not an artist’s process. That’s the process of a director or producer, a marketing head to the artists telling them to refine an idea for a mascot until it hits their idea of optimal advertising. They don’t want to be artists, they want to be management.

I mean are directors not artists? I think the issue right now is everyone working on it is a tech nerd doing it as a tech hobby. Everyone is an amateur. I suspect there will eventually be people who actually know how to make real art with AI models. But they'll have to put as much effort as a real artist does. Way more than just "prompt engineering". I mean training your own custom models and coordinating whole teams of them.

calling a director an artist is really broadening the definition of it. its usually meant painter/drawer or dancer/musician/actor/any kind of performer. there's an art to directing, but i don't know if they are "artists."

Directors can be artists. Its not streching the term. Kubrick, Kurosawa, Fastbender, etc. All the great Auteurs.
