"You Humans have so much art! Do you have machines to make all paintings, poems, stories and songs?"
"We experimented with that, briefly," the guide said. "But humans are both cheaper and more creative. And, well, we will make art regardless."

@MicroSFF Would 'cheaper' be in the alien's vocabulary when it comes to art? I always wondered about the sales prices of art pieces... But then again, I might be an alien...

I think "cheaper" means that commissioning humans is cheaper and more sustainable than paying for genAI tokens

@anominominominous Ik know that, but with regard to economics I love to be sarcastic and cynical. Anyone in big marketing, big business or in politics can't be trusted.

And: I am very opposed to AI in all its forms.

Yes. We will.

@MicroSFF transportation is probably the major expense.

@MicroSFF My only criticism about this is that making art should not be about who, or what, can make the "cheapest" art. It should be about who can make the most expressive art, the most beautiful art, the most empathetic art.

@DerPumu There has been a Dutch tv-documentary series about Henri Matisse. Being a painter isn't just a choice of profession, it's who you are as a human. The series is called 'Krabbé zoekt Matisse' (Krabbé's search for Matisse) produces by AVROTros and perhaps retrievable through NPOStart
(https://npo.nl/start/serie/krabbe-zoekt/afleveringen/seizoen-6_1).

@MicroSFF Gosh, I hope so.

@lazysupper @dahukanna so, in a long conversation, the number of people who can see the responses gets smaller and smaller over time?
-
Just visible to Alice unless she accepts the post. And she controls the visibility on her posts.

@dahukanna
Oh... I need to change my answer. 😅
Other: the dark blue-grey.

@ori I think this is where I got on the merry-go-round.
-
@monnier you replied in the wrong thread!
-
@evan I think so. I think in an ideal world, I would prefer an audience that expands, but in the real world where people use followers-only to feel safe online, it is important that only followers appear downstream of a followers-only post. At least, that’s what I would expect absent some other cue.
-
@evan But Bob may want to reply something that he doesn't want to divulge to all of Alice's followers (he likely doesn't know them all) so he may want to explicitly shrink the set to the intersection
