Reply to comment by Sahalynsk in It really surprises me that humans would end their race this stupidly by [deleted]
I'm an artist and AI art is the most important invention since photoshop, maybe since the camera. I've trained an AI model on my style and have been workshopping it by combining it with different artists. The results are absolutely astounding and inspiring. A few of my friends in the art community say they're getting more ideas than they have in years. One already started a new series based on the art she generated. The only negative thing about AI is the hassle of having to explain how diffusion AI learns and how fair use works to the people screaming about IP theft.
You need to stop imagining all these crazy slippery slope fallacies and see AI as it is today -- a personal assistant. ChatGPT can automate all the boring parts of writing for me so that I am free to focus on the creative parts. AI art engines not only generate ideas but can make me underpaintings or figure references so that I could breeze through the parts I don't like to get to the good stuff. But you're worried about some sci-fi level stuff where a neural net is somehow sentient and evil? Come on. AI isn't going to kill anyone, how would that even work? If you're worried about people monitoring you, there are plenty of anonymizing tools for that.
You've just gotten a virtual assistant who is only bound by your imagination and you're afraid of it. Try learning more about this technology and how it works, that should make it less terrifying.

Most sculptors agonize over how their work looks from all angles. There are usually months of iterating through versions of different sizes to check what every possible perspective conveys.
I genuinely don't understand how this studio could have missed that this angle would become a meme and a source of mockery.

No, this is a dream. You've been in a coma for 3 weeks. Please wake up.

Fucking hell! I'm an artist too, but that's way too much.
We have more colleges per capita than any city in the US -- why not have a student design an MLK statue as their doctorate or something? King was only 6 months out of school when he led the Montgomery bus boycott, having a student design a statue of him would be appropriate. Plus, the only way a student's project would come out looking like a dick is on purpose.

I've gotten stuck in traffic on the way to the airport enough times that I just take the T now. When I ask family members to drive me to the airport now, I will usually ask to be driven to the train.

The edge of the smaller light green hill on the left makes the composition less balanced. Left side of the main hill is all in shadow except for that one bright element and it draws the eye away from your centerpiece. Crop it out or darken it.

Beautifully done!
Also, if you like that stained glass effect, check out Jason Anderson. He's a British abstract landscape painter. One of my favorite contemporary artists.
