Of course an artist’s work is shaped by their life experience, the culture that surrounds them and the works that inspire them. But creating art isn’t just mashing these things together. It’s something deeply personal and human. AI art might look impressive from a technical standpoint and be able to reference well but…

It’s cutting costs by stealing its ingredients from other factories.

The current use of AI can be equated to NFTs in that it is a grift by people who don’t understand art but want to profit off of it. For some reason, business types don’t want to use AI to erase the tedious parts of human existence but the artistic ones that people enjoy creating.

While I’m happy to shit on Chris Pratt for various reasons, I feel like his “infamous” pickle jar comment was actually fine. I read it in a self-deprecating way, as in, “My wife is amazing, I’m totally useless.”

SZA only at 19 is... a choice. Glad to see Paul Simon’s record get some recognition, though!

I was just being a little shit for the sake of being a little shit, sorry about that. Also, my comment disappeared. Did you flag it and it actually did something?

Sir, this is a Wendy’s.

Nah. Lots of left-leaning people, myself included, don’t really care for the remakes. They’re lukewarm, lazy cash-grabs that don’t add anything meaningful to the existing originals most of the time. The problem is that these valid criticisms get drowned out by the dipshits who scream “BLACK PERSON, OMG A BLACK…

I first learned about him when he made an appearance on QI. Dug a little deeper into his work after that and was extremely impressed. May he rest in peace.

Why is the Venn diagram between “right-wing troll” and “unfunniest person you’ve ever met” basically a circle?

We need more people from the planet she’s from. We could make room by shooting assholes like you into the sun.
