  • If you think that replacing a person with an object cannot be an artistic choice

    Literally nobody is saying or thinking that. What we are saying is that there is absolutely no way that OP’s prompt contained “…and make the optimist BE the glass itself…”.

    The irony is that you’re giving OP way more benefit of the doubt in your reading of what they produced than you’ve given me, and instead argued against a complete strawman.

    You have my sympathies, but that still doesn’t mean you get to post complete nonsensical garbage where a glass of water is talking for no reason, that took you less effort to create than it did to read, and expect people to not tell you to jog on, when there’s a whole wealth of creative artists out there who are putting in the energy but getting their space flooded with slop.

    The web has objectively become much, much worse in the past 12 months because quality is getting drowned out by quantity.

    Don’t talk about ability to draw as though it’s some sort of elitist trait denied to the working class. People who can draw can do so because they put the hours in.

    If you can’t be bothered putting the effort in when expressing yourself, why the hell should anyone else be interested in what you have to say?

    Thank you.

    “I don’t have to know CS201 Data Structures and Algorithms to do my job”, says a thousand D-tier coders online, whose code is costing their employers a small fortune in unnecessary cloud compute bills because they just blindly imported a ton of python libraries and went with the least suitable data structures and algorithms for the task at hand, because that’s what the defaults were for that library. “It fulfils all the requirements from the client perfectly, bow to my experience and skill in delivering customer value”.

    It’s classic Dunning-Kruger, incompetent people who are too incompetent to know they’re incompetent.

    Bonus points when they cite the fact that they were involved with a project that cost a hundred million dollars, as “proof” that they’re a world-class expert, when it probably would have been a ten million dollar project with an actually competent engineer…
