@Thedrawingboi @antsstyle No, AI generated images are art because of the entire history of conceptual art, about which you have thus far exhibited no knowledge whatsoever. Is that better? Or do you need to audit one of my college courses to grok this? — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@antsstyle You are a stranger calling me an incompetent artist and an ignorant academic even as you misuse terms I taught professionally. If this is how you seek to acquire respect from strangers I am surprised if you have been successful at it in the past. I wouldn’t treat you in this way. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@antsstyle You’re an expert on everything, including not only art (which I’ve taught at the college level) but also plagiarism (which I’ve taught at the college level) and writing (which I’ve taught at the college level) so when I say you’re misusing these terms I know it means zero to you. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@storymarkfilms Addressed this in the forthcoming essay. I get accused of a lot of things, but hypocrisy is not one of them. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
With all that said, here’s a goddamn song. (Two new music articles are coming to RETRO soon. As ever, if you like my work as a digital DJ—which is inspired by my past work as a radio DJ—cool, that’s great. If not, that’s OK also. We’re talking about art.) https://t.co/0brPJq0Z7X — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll lock any thread I want to. I’ll block any person I want to. I’ll ignore any comment I want to. And I’ll feel no guilt over it. If you don’t understand that this is how Twitter works for you and for me, and that this is exactly how it should work, read a book on social media. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
I believe in finding ways to mitigate the harms AI art can cause, which is why I’ve been working on this RETRO essay for days. But I’m not going to pretend I respect folks involved in the conversation who not only act poorly but reason poorly—let alone those who act in vile ways. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
I believe AI art to be art because I’ve spent a lifetime as an artist expansively defining what can be considered art. That’s very important to me. But aesthetically, AI art is terrible. I’m interested in it conceptually. Some who hate AI art simply hate conceptual art generally. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
I love Watterson. I love Calvin & Hobbes. I love Laika Studios. I’m interested in AI art but have never claimed to be a visual artist; I’m a poet. I’ve no interest in being told how to express my love of art or certain artists. You wouldn’t accept it from me and I don’t from you. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
Those who excuse the bad behavior of others just because they’re arguing the same side of a point are beneath contempt. I have no problem instantly blocking strangers who come at me without even basic respect. I’m not obligated to be the receptacle for anyone’s unprocessed rage. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
The essay forthcoming in RETRO explores the nuances and pitfalls and dangers of AI art. I also try to bring my experiences as an attorney, working artist (poet), and academic focused on digital culture to bear. But my opinion on all this—however it’s grounded—is just one of many. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
Had to delete some tweets and retweets due to a tsunami of death threats from people upset I have a different opinion on AI art than they do. Just totally normal stuff—threatening to kill someone for having a different opinion on art. Will have something on RETRO about this soon. — PolitiTweet.org

@_fermariart I'm *not* a visual artist and I never said I was. But I *am* an artist. I’m a poet. Feel free to look it up if you want. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@PiaGuerra But I appreciate the vicious attack. It is one of hundreds I have gotten over the last 24 hours from people who consider themselves to be good people. Good is as good does—and me having a different opinion on AI art justifies precisely no one being aggressively jerky to me. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@PiaGuerra I'm not a visual artist, no. I am a literary artist, though, and my work has been scraped by AI before. AI art is not mimetic, and this is not supposed to look like a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. So even if I could fix it I would have zero interest in doing that. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@superugly @PiaGuerra AI art isn’t mimetic—anyone looking at AI artwork that’s attempting to find the hypothetical median *between the hypothetical median aesthetics* of two disconnected iconographies and saying the problem is it doesn’t emulate one well misunderstands what the tech does/how it works. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@superugly @PiaGuerra I do. Finishing up a big RETRO essay on this today. I understand that people who know nothing about me think I come up with knee-jerk views on things, but I am an obsessive nerd from way back and while that does not mean people will agree with me I do not do things thoughtlessly. — PolitiTweet.org

@S______I______G This is definitely not one of the most famous images of Calvin & Hobbes, and it was definitely not adapted into a Calvin & Hobbes book cover https://t.co/kpbMXOxlnZ — PolitiTweet.org

@EscuderOscar @cvteys I taught ethics in art at the university level, I did not teach morality because that is not an appropriate subject for a university course unless I am simply leading by example or the course is explicitly about how moral codes are formed — PolitiTweet.org

@MoliSecour @HighPulpOJ I am an artist, but I doubt you have ever read my bio — PolitiTweet.org

@fox_nekko @HighPulpOJ No, "nah" means art is subjective, and "that is bad" is not Truth — PolitiTweet.org
