Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I am not the artist

I like how "improved" means taking away one of the most interesting parts of the art which are the guy's facial expressions. Left one looks kind of fond, but maybe also cocky. Right one looks possibly embarrassed, but maybe also forlorn. They both mirror the woman's on the left.

The transformer model sees that and spits out two stoic, indistinct faces. Guarantee the person who responded has zero appreciation for art and gave zero fucks about anything beyond a braindead surface level. Very cool. Very trashy.

Edit: it also decided to seemingly give the woman on the right one leg for some reason. There should be a second in the back on the left, but there's no indication of one with the dress exposed.

I have a hypothesis: it's not just the image generation endorphin loop (ooh look I'm 'creating'!) but also the opposite of the tabula rasa situation that happens when you sit down to draw. LLM image generation shits out a full image, now with perspective and a generally human set of fingers, and then they prompt and prompt and prompt. and they don't see how strange it all looks because they're focused on parts, and not the composition, why this character is HERE and why this shadow lays there isn't just recreating styles but should be choices driven by someone creating. And they aren't really being creative, it's just...

so in the 90s and 00s there was this terrain generator called Bryce. And it was nifty! But a whole slew of would-be cg artists kept slamming that generate random button until it produced something they liked, and they thought it was 'art' too. now, you could totally use bryce to create art, but you wouldn't really get it by clicking the random generation buttons. and the type of person who gets lost in llm image generation reminds me of that so much, but it costs gazillions more to pull off and is enabling utter fucking madness (llm 'ai' crazy is an everyday thing so I'll skip pasting a dozen links).

I improved your pencilslop.

Oh, sweetie. No. No you didn't. You told something else to "improve" it. You did absolutely nothing creative whatsoever.

I improved

They neither did this, nor is it an improvement.

Apparently the AI boosters are really hurt by people calling slop slop.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dox shitheads like that. If they want to bully real artists with Ai slop, let them suffer the consequences

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Despite looking more detailed, the bottom AIslop looks 100x more generic, like something I'd expect to see in a generic modern fantasy anime.

The top looks like it'd be part of a fairly unique looking webcomic, if nothing else, that keeps people coming back just for the art alone.

"My understanding of art is that of a child"

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Shit like this is why I don't want to post or upload my work anymore.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don't be discouraged, this is exactly what these wastes of space want.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

It's not so much assholes like the one pictured, but knowing that for each one of them there are 20 others ripping off my work without consent.

[–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I am in no way saying that the AI art is better as a whole, but...

Why do the two figures on the right have bird legs? They got the reverse joint chicken legs... which could be intentional. But if not, I can't unsee it...

I think thats just two pieces of the armor meeting
