"Hot!", "Hot!", "Hot!". Aaargh!

I've been regaling you with complaints about the site DA (DeviantArt), or rather the artists who are members of the site.

When an artist uploads a piece, he/she is allowed to fill in a text field to describe the work.  Actually three fields: a title, a longer description, and a list of keywords.  In each field, the goofy artists often describe their work in (what they think are) glowing terms; e.g. "Hot young girl, with large breasts!", or "Beautiful, nude young woman, relaxing in the forest."  The word 'hot' appears so often that I need to turn on the fan.

To be fair, many of these artists are foreign, or: let me be precise: non-native-English speakers, so one wonders where they have learned English.  Some of them actually are native English speakers, but all through their school years have been so focused on artwork that their language skills are very rudimentary, and they manage to get by using words like 'hot' and 'beautiful' and 'sexy' because, after all, many of them are imitating the artwork found in comics, manga and anime, much of which can be described---by fans---using those three words alone.

There certainly are members with better language skills, but they're swamped by the 'hot / beautiful / sexy' boneheads.  Their intellectual age, on the average, seems to be about 12 ... OK, maybe about 16, which is not much more than a couple of decades younger than I am.  But I'm not primarily---or even at all---a graphic artist.  If I had gone into Art (which usually means 'drawing'), I suppose my language skills would have remained at the primitive level.

Well, this is just an addendum to these posts about DA; since the widespread discovery of AI software---which basically creates images on order---many of the images of "pretty women" on the site are beginning to look all very similar!  It could be that the tastes of the 'artists' on the site are converging into a sort of consensus, or the different AI softwares are getting to be very similar.  We're all becoming clones of one another.
