Oatmeal on AI Art

Reading Oatmeal stuff is always such a seesaw for me. It’s so riddled with like boobshark jokes and I’m like, yeah yeah ha ha. I don’t hate that kind of humor or find it offensive, I just don’t think it’s very funny. Then it’s also so riddled with such earnest heartfelt well-articulated thoughts that I’m super into it. None more than Let’s talk about AI art.

A cartoon depicting two characters sitting at laptops. One character looks happy with a blue thought bubble containing stars and a smiling face, while the other character looks disappointed with a red thought bubble showing angry, frowning faces. The text reads: 'Even if you don't work in the arts, you have to admit you feel it too -- that disappointment when you find out something is AI-generated.' (Like this alt text)

I love the message. The process matters and if you work hard making stuff, that’s beautiful.
