Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?

Didn't you hear? you must hire a real artist to do that for you or you're exploiting the industry

It's not like a lot of these small-time outfits used their own photography to begin with. They'd pick a kebab from a menu of professionally made kebab pictures the printer has in stock. Or worse, they'd take pics of their own plated food with a dead-centre point flash in a dark cupboard or something and you end up with awful-looking food, no matter how good.

It's still more honest than generating virtual kebab.

Is it though? I don’t find using stock art to be any better myself.

I think @conradludgate was alluding to that we have so much of AI slop these days.

But I see your point too. I too like to generate cute and funny images and share it with my friends and family.

But this being done at scale can lead to overall degradation of the online experience.

Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

This is an artificial modern world problem. For thousands of years people have told embellished stories, and humanity has thrived upon it. Tall tales, fish stories. Heck, that's still the average person's experience unless they've really worked their critical thinking muscles. Today's working adults are used to the short thirty-year "safe space" of smartphones and internet. We grew up in a temporary meta stability wh…

To tell a story, to even exaggerate one is something completely different from providing "prove" it did really happen exactly the way it was told.

There are many many people that will take an image as an undeniable fact of the real world. While before you could fake(photoshop) things it took more time then 30 seconds.

I wouldnt regulate these aspects, because I believe pandoras box is already wide open. Regulating anything wouldn't change much.

I see a lot of the slop posters in real life now and I hate them

I think every restaurant on Uber Eats in my area uses AI slop or, minimally, AI "enhanced" food pictures.

Probably some other type of ads '[..] in your area' will use this as well.

Is that 5 pillows on the original (messy) bed down to 4 pillows in the clean version?

The sheer waste that accompanies image and video genAI is actually terrifying. I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?

would you like a carbon receipt for your video gaems, netflix, and reddit sessions?

>Generating 1,000 images with a powerful AI model, such as Stable Diffusion XL, is responsible for roughly as much carbon dioxide as driving the equivalent of 4.1 miles in an average gasoline-powered car. In contrast, the least carbon-intensive text generation model they examined was responsible for as much CO2 as driving 0.0006 miles in a similar vehicle

Its a simple way to feel superior - to sneer at normal people having fun and using technology.
