"In the early 21st century, there was a genre of art where hands were drawn either with an incorrect number of fingers or other mutations. We believe this style of art was used for ritual purposes. Strangely, this movement of art lasted a very short period of time, from 2023 before gradually disappearing by around 2025"

EDIT for those who didn't get it, it's because some newer image generators draw better hands

"Hip Hop isn't music. Sampling old tracks isn't music"

"Rock'n'Roll ~~isn't music~~ is the devil's music."

But then again, AI art takes all the humanity out of it.

Depends on how you look at it. These models weren't trained in a vacuum. They were trained on data generated by humans. They are the amalgamation of all human art throughout human history. They are a reflection of us, the way a child is a reflection of their parents.

That being said, I am very excited for art generated by collaboration between humans and these models. I for one would love Castle Swimmer (a webcomic) to be turned into an animation. Currently, no one will fund any such project. With video gen models however, I'm very positive we would get to see this.

The original author's story is still there. Her characters are there, her dialogues are there. They're just brought to life visually. I still find a lot of humanity in this.
