Wow, you really managed to suck the fun out of it huh

I graduated in 2011, and same. My high school had a pretty janky mix of various Dell Inspiron towers, running mostly Windows XP but with a handful of Windows 2000 and ME machines that for some reason (prolly hardware too old) escaped their upgrades. We went through impressively comprehensive MS Office training and even Computer Tech classes (essentially an intro to an intro to computer science where we learned data concepts and built a PC).

A few years later, 90% of those machines had been scrapped, the mandatory courses were all gone and the kids all had cheap crappy Chromebooks. Now any tech courses are just electives and the students are expected to magically know how to use the software they’re required to use. (Because “they’re young, of course they know it!” Nevermind that they’ve only used iPads since birth).

Consequently, any class involving a computer, even if it’s just word processing for English essays and such, has the teacher taking time out of instruction to show the students how to use the stuff. Otherwise there are problems. It’s a sorry state of affairs and a lot more kids are getting left behind when it comes to tech. Google might be the worst thing happening to education now if it weren’t for the GOP.

Gravity always wins

Art is just something that makes you think, though, and jogs something inside of you. Hell, you could print this thread out and sell it, and suddenly it’s “art”. The point is, I don’t care about the process so much, I care about the end result: how it makes me feel as a consumer of art.

This is why “art” itself is not just a passing fad, but a constant commentary on the zeitgeist, often poking fun at it, or presenting it from a different angle or through a different lense than you personally would have been looking through.

That’s why I would caution everyone here to not “throw the baby out with the bath water”.

Is thoughtless AI slop itself “art” - no, obviously, of course not!! In fact I’m glad this person was booted. But it can (and will) be leveraged by real^tm artists who are trying to land a point, so I would encourage all critics of AI to have clear eyes and an open mind so they can enjoy all the very VERY fun and thought/conversation-provoking art that is to come on the subject of (or rebelling against) generative AI in the coming years.

It makes me think of a machine, not a person. I prefer to just use “staff”

Yeah, I think we can tell you’ve never been depressed…

So add a note explaining that that’s just what swedish toilets are
