I am a Sloppist.
In the 1920s, we had Futurists in worship of cars, planes and the industrial.
Today, in the 2020s, we have Sloppists who see the potential of AI in all paths of life: work, play and rest.
Today, GenAI produces what some call, on the whole, "AI slop". But we all know that's going to change soon.
As a non-visual creative myself, I get it. But my Tumblr is made with GenAi art, and as someone who's not great with my hands, it helps me realize my art ambitions.
It helps me scratch an itch.
And I know it's slop... But seeing art come from ideas, tinkering around with prompts makes me happy.
And if I'm happy, then I'm proud to call myself a Sloppist.
The Futurists were misunderstood, and we Sloppists probably are too.
We're living in the future the 1920s saw being realized.
History repeats.
