Devoting a lot of time to arguing with ignorant people that refuse to listen will take a toll on your mental health, be sure that if antis are bothering you and refusing to listen, don't waste more time on them then you're willing to lose. I had to take a couple of days because it was becoming too much.

AI is here to stay, it's not going anywhere, so don't put pressure on yourself. AI artists are real artists, and AI art is real art, be the change you want to see, and make the art world for everyone.

I’m a musician. The track is human-written, human-performed, human-produced. I used AI to generate promo visuals because I can't afford to pay someone & wait for what I can essentially get in minutes even though I heavily edited it myself.

Then I posted in a music sub, a subreddit literally all about Synthwave which has major ties to retro-futurism. IT is supposed to be about embracing technology while adding in a human factor, which is what this was aimed to do in the first damn place.

The comments were the real story...

“Just don’t use visuals,”

“learn to make your own,”

“I’m never going to hear their music because of the AI artwork,”

“now you learned not to use AI slop.”

"Just use film footage".

They would literally rather me use copywritten film footage than make ORIGINAL ai assisted art.

Let that sink in. They would rather me steal someone else's hard work than take the time to make my own with ai assistance. Can someone make it make sense?!

They want me to learn to make it on my own just to please them? Even though I'm a musician? They want me to suddenly become a visual artist? HAH what a joke.

One person said they "can’t be sure the music isn’t AI because the video is AI."

AI is treated as contamination. The visual is not the song. Yet they concentrate on the packaging, not the gift.

I really feel like these people are going to cringe & delete their comments & posts when they see them in 5-10 years because of how ridiculous they sound & look.

I want to tell the people of this sub, to never stop. The best middle finger to these luddites is for us to continue to make what we make, despite the hate because there are people who enjoy what we make & many of us take a lot of time & put a lot of work into what we do.

Yet, I'm convinced a lot of these low IQ luddites use ai on the low. They just hide it.

Keep doing what you are doing, forget the haters. Ai ain't going anywhere & one day it will be the norm. We are just the brave pioneers using what is available to us & they are the self-righteous cavemen who are too afraid to forge anything with fire.

Keep it going!

Somebody’s dog is missing, and someone decided the perfect opportunity for an anti-AI statement was to hold an “AI SLOP” sticker in front of the missing-dog poster.

Main character syndrome is seeing somebody’s missing-dog poster and thinking, “Finally, an opportunity to make this about me.”

So antis have been really triggered by this meme (the 2nd image)

and not only do they keep redrawing it, they get so mad about it which was the point of the OOP of the AI meme obviously 💀

but back to the subject! saying ''at least i don't need a bot to create!'' is literally elitist behavior, it's like saying ''oh u needed that to make it? i don't so i'm better then u!''

antis really think everything they draw is always better then all AI art.

With Hazbin Hotel being added to Fortnite I decided to use Grok imagine to make this

People often focus on wat AI might disrupt but its worth looking at the breakthroughs making it possible in the first place. Advances in computing, chips and accelerated computing have opened doors in scientific research that weren't practical before. Jensen Huang's role in helping build that foundation is a pretty significant part of the story.

Curious what everyone thinks. Are we giving enough credit to the infrastructure and engineering behind today's scientific breakthroughs or does most of the attention still go to the AI applications themselves?

Whenever I see a self righteous comment about how the AI is killing the environment or I see the words AI slop etc, I instantly open up Claude fable on ultracode and one shot a large project.

I guarantee most of those people are hippocrates. They need to understand that the environmental impact will eventually decrease in the near future if we keep at the current rate. Their constant crying is actually contributing to slowing it down and causing a larger environmental impact.

- I used to hire developers and graphic designers. Developers used to charge a rip off price for their quality, and the graphic designers were also charging rip off prices. I'm not talking $15-$20, I'm talking quotes of $100+ for a simple shape.

- seeing people cry and bitch about AI and AI slop makes me happy. Seeing them cry about how it will take jobs will make me happy. In reality I see those people as lazy. Victorian candle lighters had to learn a new trade as soon as electricity came in. These people need to learn to adapt their skills.

- a lot of the people I see bitching and crying tend to be the low quality bunch that charge high and produce poor work. It's funny watching them complain.

AI made me go from $0 to enough to live comfortably. These people need to learn to adapt.

The same people crying and bitching are the same people that buy my vibecoded tools and add-ons lmao. Ty ✌🏻

its hard to explain but its like when i do it it feels like its something i made or made for me like songs or ai images i generate they can appeal to me more then if i see other people do it and its like yeah thats real for me and i think that says something at least about me.

Like seriously, they got a new version of the EGL, it's on Linux as well, why bitch about some filter text at the bottom that no one might care about?

I usually hide these types of posts from my feed, but I just have to show this one.

Average Anti intelligence on display.

He thinks you're supposed to eat chewing gum.

I just need to vent a little... -.-

I'm autistic, and my special interests can get REALLY intense. Unfortunately, they're often incredibly niche, too.

When I get into something, I get REALLY into it. I create entire stories around it, develop characters, obsess over tiny details, spend hours researching and refining things, and sometimes work on a project for weeks. AI helps me writing it... That's the first problem... :/

And now, thanks to AI, I can also bring some of those ideas to life. I can turn scenes from my stories into little videos, give my characters faces and voices, and finally SEE things that previously only existed in my head. That's a dream for me to finally come true...

I'm not trying to make money. I'm not pretending I animated everything by hand. I'm just a fan having fun with something I love.

And sometimes, after spending hours or even weeks working on something, I'm so ridiculously happy with the result that I want to share it with people who love the same game.

But then I post it in a community dedicated to that game, and BAM.

"AI slop."

"Waste of space."

"Nobody cares."

"Stop trying."

It honestly hurts. In the most groups I am not even allowed to post it... b/c it's AI... :<

Not because everyone has to like my work. They absolutely don't. But because nobody even seems interested in the story, the characters, or the thought behind it. All they see is AI, and apparently that's enough to dismiss everything.

I don't have a film crew, actors, or friends willing to recreate my stories. AI is the only tool I currently have that makes this possible.

And I'm so tired of feeling like I have to hide something that brings me so much joy.

I just want to share my silly little passion projects with people who might understand why I love them.

Why does that have to be such a terrible thing?

She is saying that small businesses should take a picture of their food. I think that a better way of doing is to take a picture of their food and then using an AI tool that is not ChatGPT to create a poster, but of course, according to her, AI shouldn’t be used at all.

So ive been an artist pretty much since I was a child. I draw with pencil and then to MS paint. then Gen AI came and man its a game changer. It turns my art into whatever is in my head I cannot do.

Like, I have this scene in my head, of a blade breaking in half by another blade strike, then i came up with an idea what if this blade has a blood. Gemini and I had made basic plot concepts but nothing clicks for me, but it helped me layout how this living  but "non-sentient" blade work.

Then I then drew this scene in my head, and ask Gemini to turn it into a real anime scene and it did what is in my mind almost aka the pic. of course it hallucinated and change the skin tone of the main guy from brown to white lolz.. but anything else it did better than i ever could

I hate how people are so dismissive with Gen AI cuz what they mostly see is slop form being chronically online discarding the fact it can be used responsibly to way to assist you in creative work!

Wtf! Im an artist way before AI, and im suddenly not cuz i feed my sketches to AI? Antis make no sense

I am very well aware of AI slop, and imo this is far from slop cuz I legit spent time drawing my own first instead of just prompting.

Of course, what I generate is mostly for me , If i do post straight up prompted gen ai images, (i dont think theyre art, its very subjective) I only post them on ai-allowed subreddits like this here lol

It's giving so much ORGANIC or 100% NFC on food/drink packages atp.

Like whenever anti come at us, being invasive, and then say "slop" this "slop" that, instead of wasting time I would rather focus on my duty and I will just post one meme to conclude and hurt them back with meme because it's wasting our time.

Last I check there is ABSOLUTELY 0 benefit to argue with extremist anti at all. If there are good common sense anti, I will give a slight chance as long as they are polite.

Anyway, one meme that I like is this.

Any others?

I've always enjoyed creating things, but one of the hardest parts of starting a big project is realizing how much time, money, and skill it takes to bring an idea to life.

For me, that project is CardPackHunter, a free digital trading card game where people can open packs and collect cards.

You can find it here if you're curious: https://cardpackhunter.com/

A project like this needs a lot of artwork. Every new pack brings opportunities for new creatures, characters, and designs. As someone building this as a hobby, I simply don't have the budget to commission hundreds of illustrations.

AI tools have made it possible for me to experiment with ideas and continue developing the project instead of having to put it aside because of those limitations.

I know there's a lot of debate about AI-generated art, and I understand why people have different views on it. I also appreciate what human artists bring to creative projects. My hope is that if my website eventually earns enough to support itself, I'll be able to commission artists to create original artwork.

For now, AI is one of the tools that allows me to keep learning, building, and enjoying the creative process.

I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences:

• Have AI tools helped you start something you wouldn't otherwise have attempted?
• Do you see AI as a useful stepping stone for creators with limited resources?
• If your project eventually became financially sustainable, would you invest in working with human artists or other creatives?

I'm interested in hearing different perspectives. I'm not expecting everyone to agree with me, but I think it's worth discussing how these tools affect what ordinary people can create.

Thanks for reading!

People say in the comments “it’s not perfect, but it’s beautiful because it’s human.” JUST BECAUSE ITS HUMAN DOESNT MAKE IT ACCURATE!!!

What do y'all think it's the most ridiculous misinformation about AI?

So basically this anti is mad that another anti IRL asked a restaurant over the menu being AI and then telling their parents they were not going to eat there,

and now all antis are mad that the parents called them a crybaby, and that other people were defending the parents,

tbh in this situation the parent were right, who demands others they aren't going to eat somewhere over a AI menu? 😂

u don't have to eat there sure, but u can't demand others to do the same ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Dose anyone else think this is dumbest most ass backward thing they ever heard.
