So i ..er.. don't socialise in people's houses out of seasonal period a helluva lot. Those that I do don't tend to Art much, but the houses I have since I came to Italy do, and I see a lot of middle class over-priced shit I can see people have spent at least a bit of money on.. and fuck, if I'm honest, it's mostly awful. Mostly shit that could've been Gen'd and iterated and upscaled and hi-res'd better than wot I saw way better with the sorta shit I've been playing with.
I think there's a HUGE disconnect between the conceits we have in the domain here and the vastly larger domain Out There we don't really appreciate or understand.
Ok, sure, that might not seem like something you might want to be involved in, but as-equally, I think there's at least a three year disconnect between what Smart-ish people here could achieve and what China-Instagram MassGurgitation might become normalised in a very few years.
Suffice to say, if you have an angle, I think there's a worthwhile angle here, irrespective of whatever mores and pretensions one might have in regard to whatever pseudo-AI output can aid with.

Honestly, I've been in three fairly well-monied houses this season who Pay For Shit To Be On Their Walls and honestly, I can't see how if I bothered, I could fail to find a means to make money here.
Perhaps I've got to an age where I'm cynical and just don't care, or perhaps I can see how I could much imprrove on what these people put on their well-earned walls.
- *hic, but still, I stand by this poorly-described sentiment.Nairn
- As with everything, The Packaging is the most important thing. A conceit in itself, irrespective of origin.Nairn
- erp. Not 'way better', 'way worser' than wot I've been playing with even.Nairn
- Most people are shit at art. I know I am. I'd just need to be 12% better than their conceits.Nairn
- *couldn't fail, ffs.Nairn
- I hear you Nairn, sometimes visit folks houses and think, why the fuck have you got that shit on your wall?PhanLo
- I can imagine the AI thing eventually being like the content aware tool in photoshop. You'll be able to draw leaves with it, etc.PhanLo
