I don’t normally get mad at genAI art. This one makes me mad. A huge part of Bosch is the tiny detail. There’s scholarly debate about how we interpret the detail; it’s incredibly wrong to say something is in the style of Hieronymus Bosch without clever little details. This AI garbage just has a bunch of repeated lens flares, age marks, and blobs. Also in the style of Bosch implies something we can interpret, be it a dark take on office work or capitalists teaching us lessons. I don’t know what the fuck we can take away from this.
This is more “someone with the title ‘prompt engineer’ spent three minutes hunt-and-pecking the name ‘Hieronymus Bosch’ into midjourney and grabbed the first image that was sort of muted earth tones” than “remotely in the vicinity of the style of Hieronymus Bosch.”
Agreed. There should be little rodent people chewing off others legs, and at least some tiny sex scenes where there is no joy.
I don’t think it’s supposed to be taken seriously. It’s just a throwaway meme.
What’s the joke? What’s the story? Why am I exhaling through my nose?
The joke is very obviously that modern software development is hellish. The fact that you couldn’t figure out a simple joke, but fancy yourself as some sort of an intellectual and an art critic is really chef’s kiss.
Why is this hell? This doesn’t look at all like any of the representations of hell that Bosch has done so we’ve got a different hell maybe? Maybe the issue was that the midjourney prompt had nothing to do with your joke?
Maybe the real issue is that you’re desperately trying to show how clever and cultured you are while just outing yourself as a boring pedant?
It’s not particularly funny, but it’s also not worth getting worked up over.
If even a fraction of the rage AI generated content produces could be harnessed as useful energy, it could power all of humanity’s needs till the end of time.
Shit, why not start with all the wasted energy generating the slop first? You’re solving the wrong problem.
Good thing we never found ways to waste energy on shit like NFTs before generative models showed up.
Absolutely! Hyped-up vaporware like genAI and blockchain speculation should be nuked from orbit. Glad we agree this all garbage.
My point was that wasting energy raging about this stuff isn’t going to make it go away.
Zero energy wasted calling out dumb shit. It’s never a bad idea to rip into AI slip, especially in the context of things we can spend less energy on. Browbeating was incredibly influential in the dismantling of NFTs, which you correctly pointed out is just as bad a citizen as genAI turds.
Enjoy tilting at windmills I guess.
I’ve seen (walked by) less pleasant cubicles.
In the Office of Hell and, actually, also Hell
It’s giving low fi beats hip hop beats to relax/study to
