You’re actively making everyone’s lives worse by using it. If it was a simple dislike of something that was harmless, that would be one thing, live and let live.

But it’s doing irreparable harm to our environment, to our communities, to our arts, to our jobs, to truth, and our minds.

You think you’re making your life better but you’re really just taking a shortcut because you don’t want to put in the work to get better.

Your attitude is disgusting and selfish.

Inspiration is not the same thing as turning pictures into static, turning static into numbers, then taking someone’s text and turning it into numbers and using those numbers to generate more static that gets translated into an image. Looking at a painting isn’t the same thing as plagiarism, and even with inspiration there is choice in its execution. With ai slop there is no choice in execution, from the computer nor the user.

Don’t anthropomorphize the pollution making job killing surveillance machine.

Funnily enough that’s not how that actually works with AI. The two are not the same.

And where do computers take the pictures they mash together for your convenience?

How soullessly capitalist it is to think the only purpose of art is what money you can make off of it. Who cares about meaning, the almighty dollar is the only thing important in life.

I’m also in the business of art abd I’m standing by what I said.

That would be a good thing? You don’t want a challenge or to grow? Develop a skill? You don’t get a sense of accomplishment if you just have a computer steal other people’s effort for you.

Bruv we’ve had industrial clothes making for decades and people still make their own clothes because they want to. People will still want to make art even with slop everywhere.

Have you considered the end result is not the purpose? The doing of art is what gives it meaning, to the artist and the viewer. It’s what makes it satisfying, even if it didn’t turn out how you wanted exactly.

If that were true, there would be people saying they are engineers for doing this.

There aren’t.

But there’s people saying they’re artists and musicians for making slop…

If people got a proper art education they would know drawing is more fun.

Disgusting. I’d crawl out of my grave and strangle someone if they pulled this.

C’est la vie

I feel that the idea that only certain magically wired people can be artists is a myth. I also think that our idea that only good artists are valid is some capitalistic nonsense. “Bad” artists are also valid artists, and our attitude around people creating things should change.

I don’t think that stage ever stops for anyone

If people didn’t still want to make things, craft stores wouldn’t exist. Music stores wouldn’t exist. Guitars would be a rarity. I follow a lot of zoomers who have entire channels dedicated to making things.

I genuinely disagree.

Making something, regardless of skill level or whether you achieve what idea you had in making it, is what makes an artist. A poor artist or one that’s not the best ever is still a valid artist, right? Then that should apply to you as well.

Anyone, despite disposition, can learn to paint an apple. The idea that art is exclusive to those who can think a certain way is a myth.

Or better, check out a book from the library because ai will give you the art equivalent advice if putting glue on pizza

I don’t think that it fills a creativity gap. It circumvents it. It’s a parasite. It gets in the way of you actually being creative and gives you a cheap dopamine hit instead of anything of substance. People learning how to do the things they want to do is what actually bridges that gap.
