I like to make playlists that have a huge collection of songs that may be on the soundtrack of my life if someone were to make a movie about that chapter of my life. Most of them donāt get very far because I donāt have a well defined āchapterā to adhere to. This one was made around 2021-2022 when I was in a relationship that at the time I didnāt realize actually sucked, but when I listen back at this playlist, it is pretty clear how depressed I was. I like it because it has some of my favourite songs, and it gives a lot of insight to that time in my life without expressly saying anything.
Made after a seriously devastating relationship that ended with unrequited love. I was deep in it and music was my only way to cope. Because I was so miserable I can stand by this playlist because it helped and itās always there to return to next time.
i made this playlist after my first breakup two years ago and it helped me feel it all: denial, sadness, anger, acceptance, etc⦠i hope it can help you move through what youāre feeling! time will tell <3
Why not go through the process of blending those images yourself? Why not use process as an experiment? Why AI? What part are you playing? What makes it yours?
I think AI is impersonal. I think it is unethical when it has relied on the theft of actual peopleās actual physical (and because of the nature of art, often time emotional) labor. I also think it is unnecessary in creating art. I also think the environmental impacts are atrocious. I also think AIās biggest supporters are being maliciously ignorant because itās a fun new toy.
Is it ease? Is it efficiency? People talk about accessibility as if children donāt use crayons and stickers! As if graffiti artists donāt use postal labels as sticker, as if sand mandalas donāt exist, as if cardboard and tape arenāt in over abundance.
Maybe this isnāt so much a fix for staff, but I feel like the reposting of things has gotten a bit lame. I donāt want the āEveryoneā feed to be the same post 20 times with nothing added, especially when the thing being re-recād isnāt even a real reccomendation in the first place. I like this app because it is different than Instagram and Twitter and tumblr and the like. I feel like people are trying to interact similarly to those other apps here. I feel like we are all drifting back into creating the same social media AGAIN.
My vote would be to remove the feature entirely, but I see how it can be used thoughtfully
