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…

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…

Gemini one shotted it.

but the author said they used ChatGPT. You're saying you produced the exact same image using Gemini?

I love that this succinctly explains not only that people largely hate this shit, but also gives simple examples of doing better. The photoshopped thumbs up was really good, I love that shit. It is the antithesis of ai slop; the human presence is felt.

They were right about cars, to be fair

It'd be so funny if the first three examples are AI-generated too.

(Not accusing that they are)

Recently Blender removed Anthropic from the sponsors while taking Nvidia and Google's money. This is the epitome of the nature of the anti-AI trend: If you just don't make it obvious nobody cares.

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…

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.

We seem to be disregarding the cohort of people who like articles with some visuals more than a text-only article. They exist. Probably not HN readers though, if we're being honest. Adding some images quickly and easily would make them and the writer of the article happy.

so called AI Art is OK for those pic themself. but it's far too often abused.

All you get are these pieces of glossy junk, yet they expect you to believe it’s some form of creative work. "People with minor cases of major brain damage", indeed

> A hero image at the top of a post: good, can be great, do it, make sure it's not AI. But like, a random dinosaur giving a thumbs up in the middle of the post? Don't do that at all.

That's a weird intentional example to make: spam-adjacent marketing content needs a stock art hero image, but a random dinosaur randomly inserted into a random post shouldn't be done at all?
