The Aesthetic Rebellion

@davidrevoy PFFFF the bird is so shocked. He's literally clutching his pearls.

I like how he doesn't love the painting because it's beautiful or well made, but because he can personally benefit from it.

Also, the hilarious irony of all the yellows in the last panel, but they're the wrong yellow for the training data.

@davidrevoy Just noticed on my second read-through that the entire panel is taking on the not-for-AI style. Nice

@brunoscheele @davidrevoy Same here!

@davidrevoy *That* is impressive work.

This reminds me so much of the transition that painting went through after the invention of photography. It went... wild. Mostly moving away from representation. Pre-Raphaelite notwithstanding.

I already see street art and creativity from teens becoming less refined in response to AI art.

Interesting times.

@davidrevoy

I think you should experiment with Dadaism or maybe play around with Picasso’s styles.

It’s all the rage I hear

@davidrevoy I love it!

@davidrevoy for what it worth, your panels with Cepper and the Avian Intelligence are the best representation of my feelings, although on a different field. The fact these systems, with their capabilities of generating enormous amounts of slop, basically rob us of what took years to refine.

And this is how I often feel.

Robbed.

@davidrevoy
That's very cool

@davidrevoy

after photography was invented, so was abstract painting and a whole bunch of styles (fauvisme, cubisme, expressionisme) that strayed from the painstaking 'realism' of the time

@davidrevoy so uhhhh this isn't gonna be a permanent change is it?

[andrewrk@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy but why doesn't she just get rid of the bird and draw what she wants?

@davidrevoy jackson pollock truly was a visionary.

@davidrevoy j'adore!

@davidrevoy
I like how it breaks the fourth wall

[niklaskorz@rheinneckar.social]

@Sassinake @davidrevoy I had the exact same thought! For all the things generative images have taken from us, this comic made me hopeful we'll at least see new creative directions in return.

@davidrevoy très sympa l'évolution des panels en meme temps que l'histoire! J'adore!

@davidrevoy I love how in the timelapse it's clear that you started out by drawing everything clean and refined and then you layered sketchiness and roughness on top of it, making it super duper *absolutely* deliberate.
