I do think it's, like really long, but he makes some good points.

Yeah, he kind of lied about the length.

I would let it slip, but it's obvious that the content is optimised for smartphones/tablets too, so kind of painful to scroll on a computer.

As such, I sentence this post to be ignored (by me).

The irony is that an AI would do a great job summarising it too...

The actual title is A cartoonist's review of AI art.
ChrisMarshallNY•55m ago
This is true, but I thought the interpreted title might be something that could pique interest. I guess I could change it, but I don't think it's gonna hit the front page anyway.

UPDATED: I asked them to change it; not that it will make much of a difference, but you've got a point.

Ok, changed now. (Submitted title, for those who care to track such things, was "A Long Screed About AI Art, by Matthew Inman".)

Thanks!

So tired of pointing that there is something in between "marketeer story tellers" and "real artists".

Bots in the Hall, Neural Viz, GossipGoblin, even Joel Havers animations. All made with genAI and all undeniably creative works, that could not have been created, at least not in that time frame, by a single person without it.

I love Matt's work and often agree with him, but the "no heart" take is just too harsh.
