If you begin a large change management project in a company, having 20% of the employees think it's positive before you hardly start is like starting halfway to the finish line.

I've had a dumb roomba for 8-9 years too, and I was decently happy with it, but i switched to a new roborock this year...and holy shit, the roomba sucks ass compared to the roborock. It absolutely does not do the job as well, comparatively it hardly does a job at all.

Yeah no you're just using the wrong words to describe your issue.

Yeees, your obvious typo is totally invalidating my previous statement...

Yes it is, because the HW is completely unnecessary, you can emulate it perfectly on a potato. It only serves a nostalgic purpose, which is also fine, but in all other aspects it is completely obsolete.

No it doesn't

Yes you did

Except for a fairly tiny niche community of users still using them for nostalgia reasons, the NES is absolutely also ancient and obsolete in every way and has been for several decades.

That's not them bricking it though. Yes it's shitty build quality, but that is an entirely different issue than them bricking equipment that still is very much functional from a HW perspective.

Oh my fucking god people...I didn't say you could claim you made something when using AI generated images. I claimed it still makes sense for some things because they hold pretty much no artistic value when made by humans already (like icons, stock images and logos)

No, they're not, never claimed they did. I said that what comes from it still holds value and is still subject to human approval in the end.

I would honestly argue that the way an artist makes art is also completely irrelevant. The art is only meaningful in the way it's perceived, how the artist physically makes it is of very little importance. The tools and materials are just a means to an end, it's the finished product that inspires feelings and thoughts, not the process of how it came to be.

Not really. It's the equivalent of ordering a "build it yourself" sandwich where you specify type of bread and content, and having someone else make it. Yes you didn't actually assemble the sandwich yourself, but who cares how that happened, you have the sandwich you wanted, it contains what you wanted, it tastes and looks like you intended.

I'm not arguing that people using AI generated images can call themselves artists, I'm arguing that AI generated can have a useful purpose replacing menial "art" work.
