    This is a vibe! Is this pixel art AI generated?

      There's a lot of AI on the author's github, so I would assume so. I have no idea how I feel about these sorts of things. On the one hand I think it's objectively a super neat idea, but it makes me sad that a human (probably) didn't make the art/songs.

        A human did --- just indirectly, in the same way as using a compiler or assembler instead of writing each byte by hand.

          I use a compiler to perform a task. I don’t use pixel art to perform a task, other than to feel connection to another human —- something AI makes more challenging.

            With AI, instead you feel a connection to the sum of all humanity.

              Usually I just feel a connection to someone out to make a quick buck from imitating works that a lot of love and effort were put into.
