w-what???

That’s Hannah Potter now.

Nuh-uh, people have been painting realistic pictures for wayy longer than that.

Here’s a Roman painting circa 40 BC.

This is from about 600-something AD.

12th or 13th century AD.

Also I think that possibly photograph-like realism may just not have been something artists aimed for, so they just created other styles that the next generation of artists learned to copy, and repeated that until someone came up with a new style.

Oh, you’re just a stupid reactionary. Get blocked idiot.

Because a 3 year old is SENTINENT. It can FEEL things, unlike a fetus.

What if there were small notepads that were attached to a bracelet thingy (like a watch) so that they were always with you?

Just imagine how delighted birds and squirrels would be if introduced to writing and notebooks. We have huge brains yet I can’t remember where I left my stuff 5 minutes ago.

I don’t think that would be environmentally friendly.

okay but getting the flint is a pain in the ass

In what country??

the hell are you doing on lemmy then

First of all, the vast majority of media cares only about crafting and publishing stories that people want to read, instead of stories that people should read. Think about clickbait articles. Their purpose is to get people to read the story and therefore give them money (either by seeing ads, buying a physical magazine/newspaper, or signing up for a paid subscription), as oppised to actually informing the public about things they should know

Second, capitalism needs the working class to think that they can get rich too if they just work hard, and thus people spend their lives working because they’ve been told that they can get rich. Allow me to illustrate:

Yep. Go to flea markets and trift stores people.

where I cannot verify the used materials

Exactly. Don’t buy anything on Temu if you about quality or human rights at all.

I’m 80% sure this reply was written by an AI. Right now pretty much all it can do is tell people to eat rocks, claim you can leave dogs in hot cars, and starve artists.

Robots don’t demand things like “fair wages” or “rights”. It’s way cheaper for a corporation to, for example, use a plagiarizing artificial unintelligence to make images for something, as opposed to commissioning a human artist who most likely will demand some amount of payment for their work.

Also I think that it’s partially caused by people going “ooh, new thing!” without stopping to think about the consequences of this technology or if it is actually useful.

Basic laptop stuff ig. Writing, scrolling, playing, nothing special.
