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.

Bereft of context, I can understand the appeal of typing a description and getting an image (I know you can get more fine-grained than that). I remember when it first was upon us, me and my friends obsessively toyed with it to see what we could get it to produce.
Personally, I lost interest pretty quickly, especially when it became clear that a handful of companies were looting the commons to enrich themselves and put professional and amateur artists out of work.
The older versions of AI image generation were really cool
Yeah, I was really looking forward to google making more of those neat images with all the eyes and the dog faces. Additional fingers were always a plus for me, like cracking an egg and finding two yolks.
Now, instead of AI creating man-made horrors beyond my imagining (which are alien and rainbow colored), AI creates man-made horrors within my imagining (excuses for corporate layoffs, aggressive ads, etc, all excused by internet posters who don't value art to begin with and have no idea what it is. Quit abdicating the human experience to matrix algebra).
