I hate drinking anything out of a paper cup.
art talk, what else can AI do?, and chosen but not special
¿What you heard?
“I hate drinking anything out of a paper cup. You have to have a civilized mug.”
This off the dome piece of poetry was spoken by a standup comic, playwright, and screenwriter. Obviously.
Who else but an artist would phrase something like this?
How to translate into non-creative-mind speak?
I actually don’t know that language, so I asked ChatGPT…
Sure! Here’s a "normie" version:
I really don't like drinking from paper cups. It feels way better to use a proper mug.
Would you want a few other variations depending on the tone you're aiming for?
No thank you. I’mma just stay spittin’ my art talk tone.
What you doin’?!
I have been known to accuse people of being foolish for attempting to use AI in any sort of a live action capacity. The Robot’s works just weren’t up to snuff.
There is no way you can get away with this!
I think though that actually, now, you probably can get away as generative AI has reached a passable level of realism, but even still, I’m not really interested in using The Robot in that way.
Yet, this week, I have taken the first steps in a new quest to expand my horizons with this stuff beyond the purely animated works I was doing before into live action-animation hybrid pieces where I take real live action footage and then have The Robot create and composite animated assets into that footage.
What you seen??
EXODUS (1960) casts a sunbaked white boy as its lead Palestinian character. Astonishingly, even the white characters are whitewashed in this film. Two of the Jewish leads are so Aryan that the script actually hangs a lantern on how Gentile-passing they are.
This film inadvertently assails me with the understanding that, despite being chosen, there is nothing special about the Jewish people and their nationalist movement. I watch Exodus, and all I can think is it’s giving…
India was partitioned over three months before Palestine.
The Negro Question is the Jewish Question.
Liberia was Israel before Israel.
Everything that is already was.
