Very Internet Person

I don't find this aesthetically pleasing. The faces in particular have that soulless model pose that MJ makes.

But you can't say this person isn't a "creator". Whatever that means, he evidently put lots of time and resources into making a homage to his favorite director. 

For me this is enough to consider it art, regardless of the tool he made it with.

cue hayao miyazaki clip of him destroying some tech guy's soul (๑>ᴗ<๑) 

it's definitely "content." and that makes the guy a content creator ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ not sure about art. i don't know how useful the art term is anymore in the age of content. and art is different for everyone anyways

i think this still has a long way to go tho. to me this just takes all the life out of the original and makes it look generic and bland in the way that mj/ai works by producing an average of training data. but idk, that might appeal to some ppl. it feels soulless, as u said, and i guess art without soul is just content

i like internet (◕‿◕)♡ riotgoools.com | veryinter.net/person | nf.td/elle | alt: @elle | very internet person channel: /vip

i found it kind of weird that guy was so fixated on making a realistic mononoke. i kind of feel like he might not be aware of the reasons why the total artwork was impactful to him. it's like someone saying they love the mona lisa but they would like it better as a photograph (๑>ᴗ<๑)

or maybe he doesn't care about mononoke at all and it was just soulless twitter engagement baiting. which seems to have worked as lots of ppl are angry about it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's a pretty simple recipe these days: find a beloved artwork, filter through ai, collect elon bucks $$$

i think just knowing how to work the tools is still quite far away from putting soul into something. i use filters and computer enhancements all the time to make random photos look better but i would never say it requires a lot of soul to do that even if i spend lots of time on it

"and I guess art without soul is just content" -> loved that lol 

I mostly think as you said it's meaningless to debate what is art in the age of content. Let's just make the concept as broad as possible and talk about content and creativity. 

I do think this guy put his soul on this, and his knowledge of the tools gave him this. Some people with the right background might make more "artsy" content with the same tools.
