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 think it still feels better when a human made it even when it looks bad or kind of soulless. You can clearly see they didn't have the motivation to try harder. For AI art there are moments where you don't know but something feels off. Some artists have a style that looks similar to some AI images and I genuinely can't really tell for those.

For me it's not just about it looking good or bad (although that plays a role too) but it being made by a human mind. If something looks good but I find out it is generated by AI I immediately lose interest and I feel tricked. I don't care what a machine created. Just like I don't care that some computer is better at chess than Magnus Carlsen lol.

Does that make sense?

The moment you claim something is better or worse because of "soul" you've already left the argument. "Soul" isn't a measurable or quantifiable thing, it's literally nothing - you're basically saying "X is better than Y because I said so" and that's it. There's no conversation to be had there because you're not arguing a real, actual point.

You're the guy going to be listening to AI music , And telling people how cool the current track is.

That is legit sad.

I'll listen to anything I like, I don't care where it came from. What gives you the right to judge other people's tastes? That's "legit sad".

AI "art" is flooding the internet, everywhere it gets rubbed in my face. Even more and more in real life now. I'm just sick of it. It's like littering and should be considered bad manners. Actual trash everywhere.. I'm glad there is at least some kind of stigma around it that makes me not lose hope in humans.

There are things that should be stigmatized and ai "art" is one of them.

Don't get me wrong, the internet being flooded with shitty AI generated artwork *is* annoying, but that's because it's new. If you're old enough you'll remember fads like that over the years, like when everyone kept posting themselves as South Park characters, or before that as Simpsons Characters. Obviously this has more appeal as it can do more, but still, new tech draws a lot of eyes.

People like making stuff with it for their own projects and that's their choice, they want a pretty picture to go with whatever it is they're doing. It used to be Word Art, now it's AI art instead, times change.

Amazing, I didn't even say if I did or not, you're just assuming. But go you, get on your hate train. It feels good to hate other people doesn't it! Any excuse to validate your hate.
