"I can honestly say that all these pixels has been carefully selected" - Why say this when it obviously looks like it's not the case? |

This was my first comment in this thread:
“Well, if this release and subsequent comment from the author were an art performance, a social commentary, it worked.”
So, yes, actually it was my first thought. But who could know for sure? |

That "ai generated crap filling the database" point earlier was very interesting btw. Already that NFT project kind of sucks from that perspective that in theory all of those would warrant to be their own entry. I wonder what is CSDb and HVSC people's view on this? |

@mankeli: If you mean stuff like these 1024 blockchain pictures - My view is, the pictures are not interesting at all, neither worth being archived. Also I'm not impressed at all, such generators were coded on native C64 (even in BASIC or Comal) back in the 80s, we were ok with turtle being occupied for hours ^^
Magnar's release is of course no database pollution. I liked that it stirred up some drama, but it soon got boring imho.
If troll and/or offtopic level increases further, we will rather close the thread than watching bitchfight getting nasty (<- torn dresses, substances by night, insults, banned accounts... not even ONtopic is worth that) |

Yeah totally agreed. And maybe that NFT project can be "archived" as an one entry anyway. |

A script that rips them and then uploads them to csdb might be worth an entry by itself? |

Sure. That’s the first step in general direction. Ideally, we need a script that will enter random prompts into an AI image generator, send the results to an online converter, scoop them and upload to CSDb. Along with legal sized screenshots. Like, a couple of thousand a day for starters. Perhaps that would be “considered art”, really progressive, worthy of a few academic papers for sure. We’re all tired here of these boring human, handmade, regressive kitschy gfx and want the flood of true art. ;) |

Now that you've seen the script what else do you think Blue Max might initialize the Tracker is missing?
Agree AI scripting could be interesting for graphics too. |

I do not know, but if you define art as something nobody can properly understand, that definitely is art. |

Magnar's Bowhunter and his commentary on it have undeniably sparked a lot of discussion and inspired several follow-up releases.
The latest addition to the series is here:
Carelessly Selected Pixels
Congrats on making such a significant impact! |
