I’m gonna speak purely from an American football (NFL/NCAA DI) standpoint, which will probably interest like 2 other people on this site, but whatever:
If you’re talking about those who provide “analysis” between games, I don’t think there is a more useless way to spend your time than listen to these guys. I put analysis in quotes because it’s all really just speculation. Speculation about a fucking game. People already speculate about real world stuff like politics way too much, but I feel like I know too many grown adults who treat consuming sports “analysis” as a hobby.
Now, as for the play-by-play and color commentary, there was a time when I felt like it actually added to the experience, like the 90s to the mid 00s. Of course, there was the great John Madden who had the talent of providing interesting commentary for both experienced fans and people who were watching their first game. Once he retired, I feel like it all went downhill. Now, the commentators only cater to the lowest common denominator of fans who are more into sports for the tribalism aspect than actually understanding the game beyond what is happening on the screen. Everyone always goes “but what about Tony Romo?” Ok is it really that surprising that a quarterback who played professionally for over 10 years can occasionally predict plays pre-snap? It was his job long before he was a commentator. He doesn’t even really explain the thought processes behind his predictions either. He’s just flexing to impress people.
Some of these responses either have a weird and jaded agenda or literally don’t make sense. You don’t like AI art because of the smudges or the weird colors? Huh? lol
I posted a (labeled) AI-generated piece of art to a Star Trek shitposting community and a mod removed it because they didn’t want AI generated images, even if labeled.
It didn’t make me mad at all, I just found it interesting and kind of ironic
Seriously, I feel like the only artists that have to worry about AI are the incompetent ones. Are you really that scared about something that lacks originality by nature? If so, you’re probably just doing soul-sucking grunt work…
I feel like ai art is getting better and better. I’m not necessarily interested in it, but when art/food/pet pics pop up on my feed, I was never looking for them either.
I think it’s normal to hide them, but to feel bothered seems a bit drastic.
It is getting better and better. It’s to the point that if you are mocking it for bad hands, then you are actually out of touch with where it is now. Bad hands is almost a dead meme.
It’s weird how “old” earlier Midjourney stuff looks to me now.
I don’t really get it. Reminds me of the guys who’d send each other fractal images on floppy disks in the early 90s, which they must have got something out of, but to everyone else it’s just pictures of maths.
So long as it’s not spammed in the All section post after post after post, I’m okay with it being here since I can just easily scroll past it and ignore it.
Can someone explain to me what the difference is between AI art and students imitating an artist? What happens when the AI actually gains the ability to experiment “outside the box” - what we call creativity?

Students are people who cannot truly copy art even if they wanted to. Pius, everyone generally does art their own way because… that is the point of art.
Image generation models just copy patterns from existing images, there is no process of artistic creation, nothing to interpret, no process… AI generated images are just pretty noise.

It cannot do that just by design. It’s not a thinking thing, calling these models AI is really a misnomer and more of a marketing thing than a description of what it really is.

Unlike the creativity that is on display by humans. Which is why every adult cartoon looks nothing like Family Guy.
Whenever I accidentally make a loud noise late at night, I always have to say “jee-sus” under my breath, just in case anyone heard it they know it wasn’t my intention.
