I wish we could go back in time where ai generated images never existed. I miss being able to like any artwork or post that I see, without worrying if it's ai or not. I miss it so much.
"use ai or you'll get left behind" oh no that's okay you guys go on ahead i'll be back here with my reading comprehension & critical thinking skills
AI seems smart when you ask it about things you know nothing about, but once you start asking it about topics you are actually an expert in, you realize it is just commoditized, polished, and amplified mediocrity.
I tend to block AI "artists" on sight, but I saw one with a P*treon and got curious, looked at it, and they earn €379 per month from it--
Thinking about the multiple real artists I follow who are financially struggling real bad at the same time, it was super depressing to see
"Artists hate AI because they are gatekeepers"
DUDE all of us learned on free resources and are more than happy to share tutorials. AI doesn't make you creative, it's an illusion sold by billionaires trying to monopolize art and culture while skyrocketing energy and RAM prices.
Talked to someone who said, "As a programmer, vibe coding is so bad and unreliable, gen AI is really only good for art and animation"
And when I said the same thing in reverse he got defensive lol
