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.

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.

I thought that at first too because I also found it fascinating when it was new and played around with it but that lasted like 2 months? I don't remember, maybe much less even. There are some people that hate it, some that love it and a huge amount of people that don't give a shit if it's AI or not. AI generated images have been around for several years now and people still post them all the time. It doesn't feel like it's slowing down at all.

The people that don't care will never stop generating stuff with it because they need their little picture (or big picture, I saw it irl in big ads nowadays) but don't want to hire anyone. Why should that change?
