    I want to highlight a comment someone made elsewhere in the thread. > I recently wrote a technical post on my blog where I thought it would be kind of funny to add some genAI of me…

    I am genuinely curious what you mean by this. I mean it sounds obvious you are saying that Indians hate AI art, i'm just curious why that group specifically? (I don't have my finge…

    Lets just put that aside for a minute because right now, in the present, people often can tell. And when they can tell, which is often, it is a net negative choice to use AI art. W…

    Okay but sometimes people despise things and then they go away or get stigma'd into a corner. There is selection bias in that list. But either way, I'm talking about *the present* …

    And to emphasize: I am fully aware that there are people who don't care. Of course there are people who see no issue with it. But there aren't people for whom it is a positive , ju…

    Note that you don't think its awesome . The best case scenario for someone normal is for them to be totally neutral. To think "its fine." The worst case is they think less of you a…

    What a fascinating take. Framing it like "they wouldn't care if your jobs went away!" Like wtf? What world is this that you live in?

    In this case use of an AI image, if people can clock it (which is super funny people are thinking "well, what if they can't tell!"), is the issue unto itself. There is no using AI …

    Yeah people seem to think that the issue is that the output isn't "high quality enough," which is a super strange misconception about the role of art even in a commercial setting. …

    I mean, there is rational justification for why people feel the way they do. It turns into a long tirade about how AI has made the median person's life worse and how they associate…
