I love that silly dinosaur with the emoji thumbs up. Here's the really funny thing. Crafting the prompt to make the original image probably took more time than that crappy mspaint job. I'm being serious, think about it. What are the chances that image came out of the first prompt fed to the AI? How much time did it take to craft the prompt to get that weird uncanny valley trex with a thumbs up? Compare that to googli…

Author here. It was the first one. (Not to take away from your point - but i will die shameful if anyone thinks I "spent time prompting.")

I think one of the reasons for sloppy images is that non-artistic people don't have the vocabulary to describe images to be produced in interesting styles. Yes, you can do image-> text on existing styles, but something always gets lost in translation. Midjourney probably has the best baseline, and --sref is a really easy way to differentiate

Sure, but let me flip the question - how would the user react if they knew the said prompt-crafted image is AI generated? Industry will need to do better to sell it to the young generation, which is usually the tastemaker for the future. It is considered "low class" to use AI-generated images. If the game is "conceal that it was AI-generated", then... lol.

This post is right over the target. I see others posting that the author is out of touch, so here’s a humble +1 to the view that they’re not. Cathartic stuff here

[flagged]

If people think a piece of art is AI, the impression is that you didn't spend any amount of time or effort on creating it (even if you did, which, hilarious if true. you could have been making real art). Further, the vocal anti-AI art people who view it as a product created by grinding down billions of person-hours of experience and work into a sort of uniform slurry which is then fed back to them. They do not appreciate this meal.

Corrected: a certain type of very loud and very online person in your audience hates AI art and thinks less of you for using it. But that doesn't matter, because the game theory they outlined is directionally right. The cohort of people who hate AI art is relatively small. But the cohort of people who love it is even smaller. People can generally spot it, and most people are indifferent to it. Having said that: I thi…

> Corrected: a certain type of very loud and very online person in your audience hates AI art The language evolved "slop" for AI art. There's no corresponding new term for good AI art. Pretending it's a minority that hates it is transparent cope.

Good AI art isn't remarkable enough to give it a name. It's much bad AI shit out there, so the people have give it a name.

List of things that the public despised when they were new: - Cars (expensive toys for the rich that endangered normal ppl and spooked horses) - Recorded music (similar complaints about it not supporting artists) - Bicycles (commonly called the devil's work) - Novels (morally dangerous) - Headphones / Sony Walkman (anti-social) I remember when chatting online was nerdy, anti-social, and uncool. Now celebrities casual…

Please, please stop with the AI analogies. Just make your argument on its own terms. "It's different from X" is no more meaningful than "it's the same as X".

Ironically, nothing makes me question my stance of human supremacy over AI more than the weakness and triteness of human defenses of AI.

Or maybe the defenses are AI generated, who knows.

Let me propose another alternative. People generally hate low effort AI slop. Irrational people hate art made with AI as a tool. "By invading the territories of art, photography has become art's most mortal enemy." - Said someone who nobody knows because it's a long and dead opinion.

>Irrational people hate art made with AI as a tool.

No, it's OK to care about the source/process. It is not irrational. You may disagree, but it is utterly human - as rational as things get.

People with low social literacy need to hear more that they have low social literacy. Bad behavior is objectively bad, and just because some people have exuses doesn't make their behavior less bad.

We need to be OK with shaming people we see as doing anti-social behaviours.
