I love Melee and got it with a game.ecuve when it came out, it was the first thing I had saved up serious allowance money to buy as a kid. I didn't touch my 5 bucks a week for 2 years, my parents handled the rest cause they game as well. I never got tournament gud, im just at that barrier. I would love to be really good at smash cause I love the game but practicing it never really clicked with me and id rather spend my time elsewhere, so to this day I wish I was better at smash but also know I dont wanna put the work in. As a result I have gotten comfortable with only ever being okay at it. That's fine. There is no shame in not wanting to put the work into getting really good at something but its sour grapes to say someone is just a natural talent. I follow speedrunners and like to bear personal bests on games I play, but I know ill never be able to compete cause i just don't like doing it quite as much as the people who are really good. Thats fine. People latch onto different things amd almost everyone wishes they were better at something theyre bad at. You wither gotta try to get better or accept mediocrity, and mediocrity is perfectly okay. Id rather people do stuff they like doing and suck at it then be good at something they hate. AI ignores all of this because it is only art because my definition of art literally anything produced that doesnt serve a purely utilitarian function. So even a hammer is art if it has a colored handle or something. AI does technically cross thst criteria, I hate to call it art but if it does barely cross that line. But it is bad art. Awful art. The worst art I could conceive of and that is no matter how nice it may look. Its bad art because of the medium. The medium is the message. It is useless, its bad and it stinks
