@prologic@twtxt.net Me neither, that’s one of the reasons, why I don’t post pixelart more oftern.

Even when I somehow convince myself not to be lazy and find time to start trying, sometimes I just place a few pixels and realize that “today’s not the day”, or end up with something I don’t like the look of and decide to delete.

The art AI also further encourages my laziness, as I’m more so a shitposter, than I am an artist. Before the days of AI, I’d have to draw meme posts in MS Paint or somehow convert them to pixels, but now I can get almost all of that painted a hundred different ways by a few different programs and choose what works the best, for what I’m trying to accomplish.

@prologic@twtxt.net Idk, when it comes to art, I don’t really hate it tbh. Mostly out of spite, because I think most of art has been on a downward spiral for quite some time. There’s also the fact, that it can provide some inspiration or concept art, when needed.

Then again, I’m not effected by it much, as machine learning algorithms are having problems with pixel art. Combining a lot of pixelart images produces strange results, as it uses pixels of inconsistent sizes and distorts them further by blending.

When it comes to code, the arguments are a bit similar. The code optimalization on most projects these days, leaves a lot to be desired. I’m not saying I’m the one to talk, I’m definitely responsible for some spaghetti coed myself, but maybe that’s something the AI could help us with, in the future.

Sadly I can also see there being companies, who might try to use it to replace their developers, as soon as they think they can get away with it and that code will probably be way more of a mess, than the code the worst of us can turn out today.
