To me, this is today's greatest living artist:
I don't know his real name, but he goes by LP-Edits (UK) online and that guy is a genius. I don't know if he makes more money selling his paintings, or more money taping the process he uses to create his paintings, but I love that guy's art AND his process.
When it comes to writing, I believe that AI is cheating. I do use it on occasion, but I quote it like a person. Not a specific person, mind you, but instead of saying "conventional wisdom," I say "according to AI."
Now when it comes to images, we are a bit more loosy-goosy. Sometimes the AI image maker hits a home run on the first try, sometimes it turns out AI slop for a dozen attempts before I give up. But even when AI fails spectacularly, it still has value because I can make fun of it.
Last week, though, I tried create an image of a "kick in the ass." AI kept saying I was violating their "terms and conditions." I didn't know AI was such a whiny bitch.
But with all that being said, especially in Conceptual Artists Part VI, we created some cool art. And when I say "we," I mean an algorithm interpreted some words and tried to make a painting or a sketch.
We still use standard images about 70% of the time, but again, we avoid Getty Images like the plague and worry about copyright issues.
Term: Crushing depression, bleak despair, failure.
Term: Filth riddled, abandoned alley.
Term: An ant against insurmountable odds.
Term: Too much rain in a muddy field.
But then I figurately started spinning my wheels, Beacon of Speech: Conceptual Artists - Part VII, wasn't a very good article
You know what, though? Most bands, when they hit album # 7, are out of gas. Foreigner's seventh album, Unusual Heat, was a real poo, poo platter.
Most movie franchises are tapped out by film # 7.
Hellraiser VII: Deader?
There's that puzzle box, and Doug Bradley, but not much else. 10% on the Tomatometer.
How did classic TV series Step by Step fair in season 7? The wheels came right off that rickety ol' wagon... on CBS.
What's my point?
I DON'T KNOW!!!
