On Utilizing AI Slop as a Small Organization or Independent Writer

I was on facebook, the moment the backlash blew up against genAI, anti-LGBTQ+ hate speech was seldom moderated. I often got an immediate reply on my reports of stuff like that, that it did not violate any rules.

I had a trans friend in the tech industry, who kind of confirmed it, then went MIA with no explanation.

To paraphrase someone far more clever than me: "If you can't be bothered to actually write it, I can't be bothered to read it."

I think you're misunderstanding the post, did you actually read it?
- Toward the end they mention also the bit about the writing also being bullshit generators, no?

If they are using AI for something as simple as an image cover, then there's not stopping them from using AI for writing "news" for them in the future

"mediocre white men"?

Why throw in some racism in that last paragraph?

Because "mediocre white men" were thought to be more competent than "competent non-white men". I myself lost jobs to "mediocre abled men" instead, because they feared I might bite them (I'm autistic).

Can I oppose the use of AI in art even if I don't hate white men?

No actually if you're pro white men you can only look at and read generative model generated content
- more like degenerate content heyo
the fact you think Sindarina hates white men says a lot lol
- It was mostly a throwaway joke, I have no idea who they are. It was an interesting conversation filled with good points discussing the topic at hand, and then they ended with a strawman argument to talk shit on "mediocre white men" out of the blue. It's not my fault for thinking it undercut their arguments, they're the one that wrote it.

If you're crying about someone using generated art instead of free stock photos... Grow up and find a real issue.

I partially agree

If you're an independent creator, I would judge you heavily for using AI, it's your work, put in effort to things you dedicate, or focus elsewhere with stock photos as filler, AI is the middle of the road but it simultaneously means a lack of effort and also a lack of care to even improve it

For businesses, it would immediately make me rank it lesser but I wouldn't be as upset compared to independent creators, businesses will do whatever to attract the most people for least and it is especially limiting if you're a small businesses. It does not inspire confidence but it is acceptable.

if anything, it's less acceptable for businesses to exploit artists because if they can't afford to pay them, they shouldn't be in business
- Remember when artists often had to deal with assholes saying "Why are you charging for this? My 12yo nephew can make the same thing!" Well, AI has finally allowed said assholes to use their "nephews". Sure, buddy, you "made it yourself", but since you give no shits about quality, everyone will notice it's slop.
