My condolences to people who are still suffering from the long term effects of it, and also who have lost loved ones. My grandfather passed away from covid, and that period was very tough on my family, as i imagine it was for many others.
obviously the rectification of names is never gonna happen but i really wish people called it "ai image generation" instead of "ai art" just because like. regardless of the "is it art" question "image generation" describes it much more clearly? like. its not really FOR the purpose that art is generally for? its for generating images. this is very cool, and somewhat useful. you can do fun stuff with it. it cannot replace human artists for most purposes yet, because yknow. its image generation.
