Generative Art_Anti-Art (Refusalism)

Nothing is art. Everything is art.

Art means everything. Art means nothing.

There is only art_anti-art.

I can create or destroy whatever imagery I want, however I want. There’s nothing you can do about it.

This community supports open-source and openly licensed generative AI models!

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. Let's keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don't like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.

Yep, I posted a couple of test images earlier so I could identify and ban the serial downvoters who swing by just to downvote everything. Now I can start posting some of my more serious work. I’m sure the hateful DMs and obsessive followers will continue, though. LMAO.

A lot of what I post now is a mix of my own work, AI-assisted elements, and Photoshop and Illustrator. That distinction won’t matter to most people though. They’ll call all of it “slop” anyway. 😂

For me, AI is just another tool for expressing my creativity. Most of what I post will get downvoted into oblivion, but if something I make gets a reaction from someone, even a negative one, then it still did it's job. That’s enough for me to consider it art!

The calls to ban me from the Fediverse should start soon. I expect I'll be showing up in the Ye Power Trippin' Bastards complaints community a lot more too. Worth it though. Because I think art should create a reaction, even negative ones. So I'm doing my part in arting the place up! haha :)
