  The prompt is the human interaction instructing the machine to produce art in the vision of the prompter.

  And whos to say generative art doesnt receive a lot of thought and intent in producing something worthwhile?

  Sure, you could let the machine spit out whatever garbage purely from random inputs, and that is not art as there is zero guidance or intent. But anyone that used generative ai knows you have to guide it to get anything worthwhile out of it. And even then, very likely require manual touchups to correct mistakes.

  So, if a machine makes the ‘art’, its not art? So photographs are not art. The hubble telescope,or any space probe for that matter, doesnt produce art.

  Art is something that provoke emotions and expression in its observers and not produced naturally. Machines are built by people and require non-random inputs to produce something thefore anything those machines produce is art.

  Humans are confident statistical black boxes. Art doesnt have to be made by a human to be aspiring.

  I thought we were talking about who legally can lay claim on copyrights in the hypothetically house with a whiteboard? i’m not the one lost with the program.

  Congratulations on reading the twitter TOS. Now tell me if it is legal for a company to lay claim on copyright via a TOS.

  Except when you enter the home, you accepted the TOS that transfers copyright to the owner of the home.

  The deck can run windows, so if it didnt run in compatability mode in linux itll work in native windows. Now if you were to put a limitation that it must acheive 30fps in any game, you might have a point, but… thats really grasping for straws.

  Web servers are different from game servers. You need a lot of performance and fast low latency servers to keep up with realtime game play. Webservers however dont need that and can benefit of load balancing accross multiple servers. Scale of economy helps a lot, but with game servers the cost doesnt change much because a session has to be on a single machine.

  As for distribution costs, most of the cost is manufacturing and physical distribution of discs. So yeah, they are making a killing by continuing to take a a huge cut from game sales when most of their distribution is online.

  So what would hold that title?

  At this point, it’ll be easier to count the games that wouldnt work on the steam deck.

  It makes sense because servers are expensive to operate. The real scam is nintendo where you pay for P2P multiplayer…
