No it’s not!
Oh wait, nvmd yes it is.

Oh wait, nvmd yes it is.
It’s really not.
Maybe someday you’ll do some research into the history of art and music and get some context into how technology has influenced both and the repeating patterns of the reactionary art that tends to get produced by artists you’ve never heard of when that happens.
Or maybe you won’t!
Either way, good luck.
It’s funny that you think there’s smart ones. Haha!
Ah, you are picking apart the examples instead of taking in the point. Well, I tried.
To answer your question, yes. Automatic1111 and ComfyUI are two of the most popular.
Well now that’s just close minded!
Go back and read discussions about synthesisers when they first arrived on the scene and you will see much wailing and gnashing of teeth about how synths are not real instruments and etc and so on. Then do the same thing when hip-hop goes mainstream and people say it’s not “real” music because the musicians don’t perform with “real” instruments, I guess.
You see where I’m going with this? There’s lots of examples like these in music and visual arts and they nearly always stem from ignorance.
I don’t know anything about AI music generation, but visual art can be generated by AI models on local machines with a great amount of fine tuning and depth. Further, people feed their original artwork into the AI and manipulate that, so it’s not so cut and dry. This idea that folks just write a sentence and the computer barfs out an image is uninformed.
Anyways, I’m blabbing. Hope that helps.
There’s also the games trap as MS gobbles up development studios left and right. I’m guessing that’s not a coincidence.
I’m personally not a fan of Steam, but HUGE props to Valve for thinking ahead.
As a “creator” myself, I’d like to say to my fellow artists who are anit-AI, get over it. AI artists are artists too. Yes there is bad AI art, but there’s bad art in every medium. If done with care and skill, AI art can be completely awesome and if you have an open mind, you might even find some space for it in your work. But even if you don’t, have some respect for the AI artists out there who put time and effort into their craft. There’s room for everyone.
Definitely NOT a slow coup going on, guys. Just normal democracy type stuff happening around here.
The answer is the Voters of Florida.
Drugs are expensive, bro.
I understand. You are correct that, in the right context, pretty much any word can be offensive or insulting to someone. So I consider it my responsibility, once I am aware of this context, to try to be inclusive because I like to have as diverse a group of people around me as possible, it builds strength.
So if “Krita” ended up being derogatory to Russians or Egyptians or whatever, and I was working with kids, I would absolutely be cautious about that, yes.
I mean, just because you don’t care doesn’t mean nobody does.
If I was running a school where students with physical challenges attended, I would not feel comfortable asking them to use software called Gimp, so I would just avoid it.
That said, I would avoid it anyways in favor of Krita, I’m just saying.
No actually they nailed it, Windows 11 is losing ground to Windows 10 lol! (Sorry about the crap source. There are plenty of others from the same time frame, I’m just lazy. )
My personal guess is that’s just because people aren’t buying new systems right now, but that’s just a guess.
We’ll see if MS holds strong on their Windows 10 phase out date, though. There will be a LOT of pressure to delay that, I think.
Try a few distros on USB drives first (I like Pop OS). No risk that way as you’ll be able to test them to see if everything works without installing.
I think you’re right, none of this matters to them.They have their judges in place and everything is set up for Jan 6 II, Coup Boogaloo (but this time it will be ‘legal’).
Honestly, it’s less about trusting Microsoft than the inherently flawed nature of a closed source operating system. There’s no way a user can tell what’s really going on behind the curtain. Maybe that was okay before, but I think the capabilities of AI have pushed us past that point.
Also, Microsoft could just be lying.
People spending that much time on their work can and should create things in meat space.
EDIT: This comment got some hate and in retrospect it does sound pretty snotty. No disrespect to any digital artists intended, including AI artists.
I just meant to highlight that more traditional artists can still create in meat space and newer AI artists simply cannot do that easily yet. I personally hope any artist with the ability to focus for hours and hours considers also doing meat space work. Actual tangible, 3d work can only be sold once, but can be sold for a lot. And it’s cool.
I came here for an upset registered nurse.
I’m leaving disappointed.
… that’s literally the point of a rubric.
