| “No, I didn't know about the exhibit before that day. And then I saw the Al piece and it was just—as an artist myself, it was insulting to see something of such little effort alongside all these beautiful pieces in the gallery. It shouldn't be acceptable for this "art," if you will, to be put alongside these real great pieces.” What an impulsive fellow. |

| In art one often follows impulses. Art is about expression after all. Plus, if these were really AI creations new copies can be printed. Unless the human “co-creator” did something like paint on the work after printing, not much has been damaged. |

| It's just garbage in garbage out. AIs reliably induce rage and negativity in humans. Humans become angry and violent if shown AI generated data. It's just a fact at this point. And it's not even like software engineers are special in that regard. Everyone here is quick to spot and express their opinions on use of AI in articles and everyone seem to like to have their words on rampant vibecoded pull requests. Freedom of thought and speech means you're free to expect people to thank you for spitting on them, and also that nobody else than you would be responsible for that insanity of yours. |

This is more conditioning from moral panic mobs than an innate trait. One could also say that TV makes humans angry and violent, or we could simply stop watching cable news. | | |
| ▲ | user205738 21 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | They're definitely alarmists. In my environment, people are either neutral or positive about the workings of neural networks. The reason is that they don't read articles critical of AI, and they don't even know about the existence of forums like reddit, for example. | |

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/11440811_The_Effect...
Evidence is steadily accumulating that prolonged exposure to violent TV programming during childhood is associated with subsequent aggression. Paik, H., & Comstock, G. (1994). The effects of television violence on antisocial behavior: A meta-analysis. Communication Research, 21(4), 516–546. https://doi.org/10.1177/009365094021004004
Results showed positive and significant correlation between TV violence and aggressive behavior Ironically I used Gemini to look those up. Being a social studies thing, of course there is no absolute proof of this, there are many caveats and ways of looking etc. Tangential - "find meta-analysis to back up my point" is ridiculously easy with AI, and it can be used on both sides. I could just as easily negate the ask and get compelling results. I would hate having to write a dissertation right now. | | |
| ▲ | ronsor 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I think you're agreeing with me. My point is that TV does not inherently induce negative emotions, but the content of it can. Similarly, AI content does not have to do the same, but poor quality AI content can. | | |
| ▲ | lbrito an hour ago | parent [-] | | Yeah. More importantly though, AI seems to be a novel way to pry open the crazy out of some people, with sometimes disastrous results. Or putting it more charitably, some people seem to be more vulnerable, for whatever reason, to multiple different kinds of mental breakdowns (like the psychosis described by the "artist" "victimized" by this "crime"). While I personally don't get it (how some people are so entranced by AI as to have mental breakdowns), it does seem to be a thing, with some catastrophic results[1]. Granted in some cases the persons involved had prior serious mental health issues, that seems not to always be the case. In other words, be it not for AI, those people could reasonably have expected to live normal lives. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_linked_to_chatbots |

| Don't take him to the MoMA he'll need his stomach pumped. |

| ▲ | LinuxAmbulance 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | The MoMA has some of the best art pieces I've seen out of the hundred plus museums I've been to. It also has by far some of the absolute worst art pieces I've seen in my life - in person, or otherwise. One of them was literally a pile of trash. I used to think that art shouldn't have any gatekeepers, but I've begun to wonder if maybe it should. |
