They haven't faded in the popular conscience because of their age and significance but are basically a meme for most people at this point. If someone doesn't really care about Davinci then for that person the Giocond would just have importance as someting that looks nice but that's all.

If i'm devaluating art by trying to state that people should be more aware of the inherent content of some piece of art and not caring only about the final piece because it looks nice even if it was made by cold steel? then okay.

@NEETzsche @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @book

Yeah but my argument doesn't really touch the engineering part of the technology which i can't really say anything about, i know that coding something this complex requires a lot of research because i also code stuff so it's not foreing to me.

I guess some artists are really against the technology as a whole because of the preconception that it's "literally stealing" from them but at the core of the protest is the fact that the spaces usually allocated for them and their craft are being overrun by people that are mass producing stuff by just typing some words on a text box, and pretending that somehow using such technology is the same as someone who actually spent years maybe trying to get their skill to that point.

@book @Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir That's a nice way of saying "i don't care about what you say lel."

My enjoyment of the product was enhanced beacuse i learned the background about it, it was no longer just about the final product. Otherwise it would have been discarded as another thing.

Paradoxically, the least albums that i like about the band are the ones that were created during the phase of "well, i guess we're big now so we have to keep producing more". That usually have the most classic and commercial hits.

If people only care about the final result and do not care about the motivations and struggles that are behind it, then it's something that will end up fading over time because it's something that's just "there".

There's this album by Metallica called "St. Anger" that every fan of Metallica likes to hate, and they hate it because to them it sounds awful and very different of what Metallica was doing until them.,

If you are someone who only cares about the final resul the story ends here, the album is shit, discarded, next thing.

But then this documental called "Some Kind of Monster" comes along which is all about how this album was produced, and you end up seeing that there was a lot of struggle, change and internal conflict present in the making of this album, then the album suddenly takes another dimension, you pay more attention to the lyrics and the sounds ad then you see this struggle reflected on the sounds being produced by the band.

The majority of fans still likes to discard the album and they go to the more clinically produced albums because "they sound better", and since they don't really appreciate the band, just what they produce, they fail to see that there's something to appreciate right there.

To me, it became my favourite album of them ever.

@Reluctant_Weeb @siinclaiir @book

Yes, if you only care about the final result then art is meaningless.

@book @siinclaiir I'm trying to tell artists to advocate to people to develop a better taste about stuff and you have been all like "but they won't, they don't care.".

@book @siinclaiir It's unfortunate because you have 100s Mcdonalds for every good place that sells burgers and then finding a good one is difficult

@book @siinclaiir Yeah you can be hungry and any cheesburger would suffice, or you could be more serious about it and decide to have a proper burger prepared by someone who actually knows what it's doing.

Most people unortunately are just hungry and any cheeseburger suffices it.

@book @siinclaiir If you only care about the cheeseburger you only are hungry

@book @siinclaiir If people don't care abour artist, then they don't care about art, they just like "pretty things"
