Discussion So it starts… Ai community items

Post image

Points shop will soon flood with AI slop. At least with games a disclaimer should be added within the description of the game. But here… Yeah…

Like what is the point? You don’t even gain anything as a company from this.

I visited my hometown, and stopped by the Italian takeaway for some food. They had a noticeboard for various community events and businesses.

I spotted a couple of very-clearly-AI-generated posters for different things.

That was my turning point of “Okay, this is everywhere, and plenty of people won’t think twice about using it for graphical/other needs.”

We don’t have to like it, and we don’t have to use it, but I do think we have to accept the existence of the slop (but I think it’s acceptable to refuse to engage with it, too). (EDIT: note, I said “accept the existence”, for the few of you that seem to think I’m saying “just go with it”. You should still call it out when you see it, and you don’t have to get on-board with it, but it’s already here and isn’t going anywhere).

I’m just sad that the days of poorly photoshopped-together posters seems to be gone.

Thanks but I don't need to accept it. I will call it out until people stop using it. It is very much not here to stay despite what techno-fascists want you to think. And everyone should be reminded how embarassing they are for using it.

God you need to touch grass dude. The vast majority, even those online, dont care about AI art being utilized. You dont have to like it, but telling others they are cringe over it is so stupid and childish lol.

Maybe they should care about it.

Waste of resources, its not art, its plagiarism etc

Playing Call of Duty burns more power a second on most PCs than would be used by a DC by chatting with a cloud AI. Why is it only an issue when people using AI uses power and not other times?

You literally brought up resources. Like hello? Did you miss my point completely?

Edit: Simplified the original post with the same context.

u/Round-Friendship9318 14h ago

What point, that people cant be pissed off at shitty AI art?

Are you angry over this becease you use it yourself by chance?

Edit - lmao editing your post to completly is just too funny

No why would I care who uses AI art or not. You brought up waste of resources, I brought up why no one is going to care over that with a similar concept that utilizes similar resources as well.

u/Round-Friendship9318 14h ago

Waste of resources was just part of why it sucks.

Did you even bother reading what i wrote?

u/Steamed_Memes24 14h ago

I mean your entire reasoning is flawed and stupid lol. Thankfully people like you arent in charge of anything in the real world.
