    The comic maker needs to pull their head out and read a book. hitler was a fucking painter. His art work was a large part of how he showed his vision to other members of the nazi party and convinced them to follow his lead.

    There is nothing special about professional artists. They are just a profession where it was harder for the big bourgeois to control the means of production. This bred a class of petite bourgeoisie artists who are now having their monopoly on the means of production challenged by open source technology.

    Anti-AI sentiment is vibes based and emotional which is the basis for all reactionary thinking.

      It also overlooks how there are artists who have worked in other mediums that also work with AI as a medium to, as if AI can’t be a medium, when it is one. There’s are also artist who train models off of their own works as well. Which only makes this comic logic more nonsense.

      Hitler’s art fucking sucked ass.

      Both his writing and his painting. Reading Mien Kampf is easily among one of the most excruciatingly painful reading experiences I’ve encountered over the course of my life, and I have nothing to say about that book other than that it’s incoherent garbage.

      Hitler’s paintings are also awful and show a complete disregard and misunderstanding of basic art principles and compositional cohesion. His work is incredibly amateurish at best.

      Also his artwork wasn’t how he showed his vision to anyone? Unless you meant his writing. His paintings are just castles and random still life pieces.

        Not all of his artwork was terrible. (Possibly NSFW.) Some of his drawings like Selbstporträt and his WWI scenes certainly do look lousy, but other pieces like Schloss Neuschwanstein actually look pretty okay. He was a petty bourgeois who made a living vending his artwork, so apparently some of it was good enough for the German market.

        That being said, Mein Kampf is such a slog that not even Benito Mussolini could finish it.

        You could say the same things about Picaso.

        His paintings and writing may not be to your taste but they were certainly evocative to his followers.
