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 apprec…

Half of his recommendations for alternatives take less time to make. You (and the author) are making assumptions about what "people in general" think without any data to back it up. What you've experienced anecdotally in your social circle doesn't necessarily apply everywhere.

This trend of “everybody hates AI!” articles from bluesky people is becoming really tiresome. Every week it’s a new variant on that theme, and never substantiated. Major yawn.

I'm sorry - you are in a bubble. Humans, on average, hate the idea of genAI art , specifically.

I don't always hate AI products, I do hate an economy with no work for creative people.

Why? Do you think that artists would mind if there are no programming jobs out there? I expect no because I know much artistic people that now just say 'Cool, AI can now program my website or some other stuff for me'.

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.

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. Like if it just gets "good" in some mechanical way that people will start to like it.

I hate these overly grand clickbaity statements. AI is a tool. You can use it well. You can use it poorly. "AI Slop" is the category of lazy AI tool usage. It is the same with AI code. Do you ask Claude to implement a feature and then not do a manual code review? If so, you're likely to get slop.

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 image generators _well_ if you care how people perceive you and your work.

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.

It seems like there might be just a small vocal minority that hates AI art. Most people probably don’t care. I bet there were painters in the 1800s who talked about how people hated photographs and how they were uncanny and creepy compared to paintings.

Art without human input is pretty meaningless. It's just pretty colors, even if well executed. I guess there are people that vibe purely on kitch aesthetics. They don't have good taste ofc, but I guess from a capitalist perspective that's a market. People are confused because since the 1960s literally the CIA intervened to disrupt the transmission of meaning in art, because it was a field dominated by "subversives" w…

Then no one that makes art is in danger. AI is just replacing the 'Art' that is not really art and just some paid painting.

Yeah so, tech people tend to be in a bubble with regards to AI perception. I implore you to just ask around outside of your immediate sphere. Bring it up, let them talk.

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?
