Expanding ones horizons absolutely does and should include art history, which is a part of human history.

Love the name and shame. Everyone needs to know about this guy
Anyone who buys into Will.I.Am’s hype is automatically the wrong person to run anything more than a lemonade stand
Also, gave a platform to “John of God”. She’s sketchy AF
Nope, I had lots this year. It’s been lovely
The idea of “robot dreams” is no longer the exclusive domain of fiction.
No, LLMs are not AGI. They don’t dream, and hallucinations don’t count.
Mmm, the neon green lines really sell the putrification.
I’ll place your Lemmy Cesium award in a safe place, where it will not be exposed to water
On the top, a bright, clear sunny day, a few picturesque clouds in the sky.
At the bottom, a river, once clean, where corporate logos such as Google and Microsoft sit, partially submerged, stains spreading into the waters around them.
In the middle, a bridge: well constructed across and overtop the river, across which various Fediverse logos are crossing
I dunno, I’m not a graphic designer
All they did was copy Webex’s UI
Lol they wish
Anymore
Hear hear
Shadow banning has been out of control on that site for years
Basically a press release
Left Reddit over a year ago, haven’t been back once. It was surprisingly easy, and a year on, it’s getting easier for others too.
I thought Microsoft was the company that first embraced the whole “embrace, extend, extinguish” philosophy?
We need positive visions for everything, grounded in sustainability.
Especially when “wellbeing” has become a buzzword that encompasses a whole host of pseudoscience “new age” stuff
I mean, that guy is blind AF now, right?
While your points about the patronage system and its weaknesses are valid, you’re writing off several centuries worth of legitimate human endeavor because the systems that enabled it were dodgy. Guess what though? That’s literally all of history, dodgy AF, featuring an intrepid cast of characters more awful the deeper you look. That doesn’t make the art or music worth writing off though.
But honestly:
“Earnest” is definitely not the word you’re looking for. Derivative, maybe, because you said it yourself, they’re reflections; and as such, they’re going to reflect what images of today are; like you said. That makes them derivative, and I feel a vast artificiality that makes my heart sink when I look at the vast majority of them.
Choosing machine-created art over historical art is choosing a passing fad over centuries of culture. It’s your right; but to write off history with a wave of the hand means you’re missing out on truly expanding your horizons.
