It has some very fierce critics, but AI art is now big business in top auction houses and museums.
"Some artists call AI a "revolutionary new medium." Others call it "theft." We wanted to see it for ourselves, so we went to Los Angeles to meet Refik Anadol. The 40-year-old Turkish American artist is considered a pioneer in the world of AI art. If you're wondering what that world looks like, grab your Dramamine."

A pioneering artist says collaboration between humans and artificial intelligence can bring in a "new age of imagination." Critics question if it's even art.

Counterpoint to people saying that they need AI to be able to create art.

Screenshot of the linked Bluesky post showing an artist sharing a simple stick figure comic.

The artist says in their post, with quotes inserted:

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Alt text from the original post:

Three panel comic:

1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men:
Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing

2nd panel:
stick man 2: but if that’s true

3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are)
Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes? — Screenshot of the linked Bluesky post showing an artist sharing a simple stick figure comic.

Pink Floyd — Welcome to the Machine | AI Art Video
https://youtube.com/watch?v=nvs0cEaw0MY&si=vAQHifF5OUuhtygU

Yesterday I was listening to Pink Floyd on headphones, letting my own images form as the music played. Later, I searched for AI-made videos inspired by their songs and came across this one for Welcome to the Machine. I found it genuinely compelling.

It doesn’t feel like low-effort "AI slop." If anything, it seems shaped by a lot of human creativity, with AI used as a tool rather than a shortcut.

So here’s the question: should I feel bad for appreciating it?

A two part Threads exchange. The first from @controlla.xyz:

If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression. It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans

The second from @lesliejandersonwriter:

If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking.

🎭 Real Me vs Anime Me: Let’s Settle This #askfedi

Asked Google Gemini to anime-ify my profile pic just for fun/

Here's the result: not bad but it's not great. Maybe because I like the real pic more due to capturing the expression of the hidden smile!

ICYMI: First image is the original, second is the anime.

Need your hot takes:
1. Which one’s the vibe: OG me or anime me?
2. If you had an anime version of yourself, would you rock it as your profile pic or keep it classic?

Spill it in the comments;
I’m nosy and I wanna know 😄👇
