Yeah, they might, but I have also seen someone that required a wheelchair perform, and they did a great job. As someone that doesn’t have a disability that interferes with movement, it’s hard for me to say much about performing improv from that perspective, but I think it’s worth a shot. I understand trying to be realistic about what you can and can’t do, but I also think it’s important to try and stretch yourself to see what’s possible. But again, I don’t know your situation or your perspective, so I could be talking out of my ass here. Beginner classes are usually very casual and low stakes, focused on just having fun, getting out of your comfort zone, and learning the basics.

I recommend taking an improv class. I recently started taking classes and it’s been a lot of fun and pretty challenging at times. Taking classes and being that vulnerable with others basically streamlines the friend making process. My class group usually goes out to a bar to hang out and chat after class every week, and we have been inviting others to hang out periodically. It’s absolutely disabled people friendly too (At least my theater is, they have a ramp for the stage and everything.) you can also learn some skills to help become better at communication and ease social anxiety. I’ve really noticed the changes in my life.

It’s a daunting idea, but it so worth giving it a shot

Yes, that is also something you can practice and get better at. Every aspect of Art is something you need to practice at to get better at. im not arguing that skill with an art tool is important to being an artist. I’m only arguing that AI isn’t a tool, it’s a shortcut that tarnishes artistic integrity at best. And at worst, it takes the place of an artist and the user becomes nothing more then the commissioner. (Hence why you can’t copy write AI “art”, it legally not something you made.)

I’m sorry, how is a favorable view on AI “art” not the “STEM view” of things? It literally lacks all connection between life and art. It’s just a fucking algorithm. I’m the one saying a connection between life and art is important for it to be art.

Now you are just arguing in circles. All it takes is practice. And if they truly don’t want to do the work themselves, working with an artist can be a very rewording experience. Will hiring an artist cost money? Yes, but then you get to directly support the people making your idea come to fruition. Instead of using AI that steals those artists work to train it’s algorithm and does nothing to support artist.

Ok, creativity is also something you can practice and get better at. I funny that in the first part, you mention creating art with “emotional and intellectual meaning” and then still support AI “Art” that lacks much of that.

Stop with the excuses. art is a skill that requires practice. if you don’t put In the practice you won’t be very good, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get good and gain that artistic ability. And go into any art community and ask about doing art with a disability. Half the artist probably have a disability. (If one has a disability the that makes it hard for them to hold a more conventional job, art can actually be a great source of income.) It may be more challenging, but with enough determination and practice, anyone can get good at art.

It’s not like I’m very good at art either, the best I can do is sketch simple things I can see.

No AI will ever turn an idea into a picture better then taking pencil/paintbrush/pen in hand doing it yourself. The best you can get is “yeah that’s close enough to what I was Invisioning” the computer doesn’t know what you are thinking, and a description, no matter how in depth, can ever take what you have in mind and perfectly create it. AI is doing it’s interpretation of what you ask for. And plus, the AI isn’t an art tool, if anything, it’s the artist. The prompt whiter is just the one commissioning it.

One of those things is not like the others. AI “art” is just feeding an AI a prompt until it spits out something you like. Some people may do a touch up to hide the hallucinations, but they aren’t actually creating the image.

… No, they didn’t.

It’s less a tool and more a short cut. and short cuts are a disservice to the artest and the art appreciater.

I think him being the shareholder is the problem. I don’t care if we was to step down as CEO, I want to see him hurt financially. Especially since he bought twitter off his Tesla stocks. Hit his stock hard enough and when it comes time to pay for twitter, he’ll be fucked.

I usually buy my energy drinks from gas stations, so I guess I’ll have to see what off brands they have. I am interested in mate, I’ll have to see what’s available near me. Thank you.

Damn, red bull is my energy drink of choice. Anyone got a good alternative that doesn’t use alternative sweetener? So many of them use them and I can’t stand the flavor they have.
