Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Going from

in a span of less than a paragraph. C'mon, it's not a tool that takes skill. It's a substitute for skill. Knowing when and how it's appropriate to use AI for art is as much a skill as knowing when to wear a hole-ridden perma-stained Coldplay T-shirt. You could contrive an answer other than "never" but nobody will be impressed either by you doing so or actually wearing the shirt.
my best guess: it was free mental pretzels day somewhere, and our poster walked away with an armful
@bitofhope there is a big difference between art and generative AI and I'd never claim otherwise (at this stage of development, and likely for a long time). But it is useful, but you need to know the limits. If it's something professional I'd likely not touch it for many reasons. If it's something hobby related.... I'd give it a go. There is skill in being able to craft good inputs, and knowing what the limitations are of the system being used, and when you really shouldn't even bother trying.
You should try and use those skills to craft some good inputs to this website, to know what the limitations of my tolerance for promptfondler apologia are, and when you really shouldn’t even bother trying.

ooh, nice one
for the love of fuck, learn to take a fucking hint. nobody’s going to give you a pat on the head for the art skills you don’t have. you aren’t tricking anyone into thinking you put effort into the stupid shit you wasted your time making. the only differences between the responses you’re getting here and the responses you’ll get elsewhere are that we’re brutally honest because we’re not trying to sell you or ourselves on a grift.
and now it’s time for you to stop taking up space in this thread with your mid horseshit
