 This comes around with the topic of AI since now we're seeing a very disruptive feeling in everyone's mind.
 
 To try to relate it, I want to use this following graph.

+![](objectivity_between_parentheses.png)
+
+This graph comes directly from the Humberto Maturana books about epistemology.
+
+The way I always thought about it was the following:
+
+When a situation approaches you, there are two interesting ways of thinking about what you're experimenting:
+
+- Objectivity
+- (Objectivity)
+
+The parenthesis here are important and represent the thought that we are supposing that it is. As in, we observe the reality and we suppose that what we see *is* the reality, even act at every moment like *it is*, but we accept that there could be things that go out of our control, and that what we see may not be what is really out there.
+
+You can think about any subject in this way, for now let's think about it in the art department.
+
+With the current advancements of Stable diffusion, there has been a spike on anime images being posted online (and in general), so the question if you should call these pictures "art" has been done over and over.
+
+So I'm not going to delve on that, but instead, ask about *how* we call these pictures "art". And in how this chart may help us be more in tone with ourselves and make more art.

+If I showed you these two pictures in a vacuum and asked you which one has objectively better quality, you may go for the first one. In case you haven't read the title, yes, of course it was made with AI lol.
+
+So why now people are saying the first one is trash but the second one has "Soul" and such?
+
+Well I think it's related to how we see the world, to me the second one is just lightyears away more important to me, as it was made by a dear friend @yomuchan@pawoo.net 🙏 (Forever thankful) for me.
+
+It doesn't even matter if it was made with AI, it's Yomu who made it, put however much or little time of his life into something for me, and that is something I appreciate, the "quality" is indifferent for me it's the people that I relate to what makes an artwork important.

+(I still have some things to say but it's kinda late... I'll continue tomorrow.)

+(In the process of making the graph I tried mermaid (comes bundled with the hugo theme I'm using), and turns out it's a tool to make diagrams _from text_, lol, just lol.)
