People are calling output from an inbred generative AI trained on a corpus that accidentally includes AI-generated inputs "Habsburg Art" or "Habsburg AI", and I approve.

I didn't expect this to be becoming a problem already.


@clacke It's the most valid name.

@clacke Itโ€™s true!

Holy moley that family tree. I heard the genetics there were worse than a fairly close case of incest.

@DeltaWye Among all couples one to five generations back there is *one* that aren't cousins or uncle and niece.

Say what you want about the Habsburg family tree, it doesn't have this confusing exponential number of people to keep track of like in other family trees as you go back. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

@clacke It's a damn fine name for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@clacke For this very reason, the word "generative" should be replaced with "degenerative" when applied to "A.I."

Maybe we'll find that the market value of art is actually pretty low.

@lxo It was already a lossy process.

Now it's a lossy process with a feedback loop.

@gnu2 My unscholarly observation and speculation is that I think what happens in a process like this, where you commodify a product and push the typical price below what a human laborer can live on, and only automated mass-production is possible, is that you lose a huge majority of skilled laborers, but the few that remain are able to charge a premium for their work, for those few rich that want something not mass-produced.

@gnu2 Bladerunner: "is that a real owl?"

If you're ever in a room with a bunch of people, look at their shoes. In spite of shoes being a mass produced item, virtually everyone has different shoes on. Somebody paid a human being to design all those shoes, and even for the cheapest ones the design is constantly changing.

@sj_zero @gnu2 They paid as little as possible, and now they will pay even less to fewer humans, except for those designing thousand-dollar shoes.
