I have the same feeling about this as I have about text written by A.I.: why would I want to read something no one could be bothered to write? Art isn’t interesting because it’s technically adequate. It’s impressive because a human (or humans) made it and it meant something to them.

I’m all for A.I. as a tool for creative people and doing rote tasks but I don’t get the point of A.I. generated “art.”

People go to casinos and play slots for a hit of brain chemicals. They’re not there for art. Nor are whales in most mobile games.

I’ll bet some exec thinks an AI-enhanced Skinner box would interesting to see.

Fuck this hits hard.

I never understood slots, nor gambling in general.

So I never saw how fucking HUGE it is. Oh my god people sink THOUSANDS of dollars of their hard earned money every month on the stupidest slots imaginable. The more stupid the slot is, the more popular it gets.

Online, offline, doesn't matter. People are at it EVERY SECOND of the time. It does not stop. Ever.

I worked in a bar and I can't remember exactly but the money taken on a busy Saturday the pokies were 5x the money taken on the tills for drinks. Obviously drinks cost money also so that's not profit. But I was amazed the country I come from people don't really gamble like that.
