As a person who's job is threatened by AI, I still refuse to blame the technology. The problem with AI is capitalism, and any ire directed at the technology is just a distraction. If all our needs were meet and we had better limits on environmental destruction, it'd only be aesthetically bad instead of morally bad.
Do you accept shitty, half-assed, sticky-note doodles?
Doodle and story behind it
I drew this doodle after getting another from a different artist. A little over a year ago, an artist I was following decided to put up a small sticker shop, so I went ahead and got one to show her a little support. The sticker was nice enough when it arrived of course, but alongside it was a personal thank you doodle from her. That gesture of a pure and personal desire to communicate through art is something I treasure dearly. To this day, that doodle is stuck to my computer desk alongside the sticker, and I'm gonna hold onto that little doodle for the rest of my life if I can.
At the time, the doodle inspired me to try and very quickly make something of my own. In my head I imagined maybe spending a minute or so without erasing anything, so I ended up with this. Despite the result, I love seeing it, and I actually stuck him on my door. It was never about the quality, but about the events, emotions, and process that lead to what I expressed. When I see it, I am reminded of that fact every day. I do not lament art being "bad," I am grateful for everyone who wishes to express themselves through art.
Just gonna drop the fact that This link is a tech demo by sight engine that lets you upload a photo and is pretty effective at detecting AI slop.
Here's an example using a recent locked post that was AI slop:
The most egregious thing with pretty much all the AI memes I've seen so far has to be that it's not even that hard to find (or heck, piece images together to make) a meme template that would have worked with 5 minutes of effort.
It's nothing but fake eyecandy for a mediocre joke.
I don't have a problem with the preference for human art and the shunning of generated images as like just a taste thing or whatever, but I can't understand the originality/creativity/effort argument when meme templates are acceptable. Presumably a human came up with the idea to willfully misinterpret the quote as a joke, and I don't understand why it matters whether they stick their idea onto an image they stole from someone vs an image a computer program stole for them.
thads a rlli gud way to put it :o
Anyone knows about a foss tool to detect more than 2000 pics a month ? https://sightengine.com/pricing Pricing is too damn high !
That looks more like a paper towel than a napkin though
