    this is like a 2 year old meme at this point. Please don’t strip out the date when you take a screenshot of social media.

      “strip out” implies it was there at all in the first place. I don’t know how you include an absolute date in a screenshot when no absolute date is actually displayed. I guess maybe hover over the relative time and hope that whatever OS or screenshot utility being used doesn’t cause a tooltip to disappear

          it’s just one of so many things about software and websites in the past 5 years or so, everything must always be a relative date, with finding absolute dates and times being way more of a pain in the ass than it should be.

          tiny but noticeable bit of enshittification :<

            I don’t think relative dates is associated with proprietary software or enshitification. I’m using Lemmy over Jerboa (both FLOSS and not enshitified) and it uses relative dates.

    Of course a hand drawn image by someone who can draw well is better - the artist practiced for years and took hours to draw this. On the other hand whoever took second place used a few minutes and had no training to produce something that was probably quite nice, too.

    It’s this ‘everybody can produce art in seconds’ that is both good and bad. On the one hand I like how I can get a image of whatever I want for pennies, on the other hand I can understand how artist fear devaluation of their art.

      Unpopular opinion here, but I feel like AI “art” will make my art the handmade furniture of art. AI art will forever be seen as cheap and my stuff, even if crappy, will be appreciated because a real person made it.

      Lots of revenue streams to be lost along the way though. Mostly corporate and marketing ones, I reckon.

    AI “artists” and “creators” are the absolute fucking worst. Right up there with “influencers”. They neither either artists, nor creators. The AI is doing all the work while all that their skill-less asses had to do is type up a sentence in a command prompt. Sooooo creative!

    A ten year old child can do that with no foreknowledge whatsoever.

    The world would be much better off without their input.

      I have used AI to ‘create’ art and music for entirely personal purposes. I shared some too with friends but that’s the extent of it. I would never call myself an artist or musician. People who do are delusional at best.

      I’m not even against the idea¹ of using it for some shitty clip art on your corporate presentation or whatever, but it has decoupled ‘images’ from ‘art’ and ‘meaning’. They are not artists, they are not making art.

      ¹the practice, however, being ecologically devastating makes it less desirable.

        A corporate can afford artist so they should hire artists, the situation is different for private people who may not have money to hire an artist or the skill to do themselves for their need

        I’m partial to this only because AI makes my head spin. In theory, it sounds fine to include generated images in your presentation, and I’d be ok with that if it weren’t for your caveat about the environment.

        Idk if anyone else has noticed or felt the same, but whenever I look at a few AI images per minute, my headspace and eyesight feel uncomfortable. The missing intentionality, the lack of clarity in some details, the mishmash of real-world proportions with fantasy doesn’t sit right with my brain, and it makes me want to look away. It feels like mental exhaustion trying to make sense out of nonsense more often than not.

        E: Here are some examples of what I’m talking about:

        https://thismakesthat.com/bakery-display-ideas/

        https://thismakesthat.com/cookie-display-ideas/

        All of those images show items out of proportion and elements like piles of raw flour meant to enhance the aesthetics, but that totally miss the point of a professional display and ultimately betray the purpose of the article. Just look at those cookies on the wall with hangers. Who would even do that in real life without using inedible materials? It feels gross.

          That’s not really comparable. I never claimed drawing/painting is easier, you’re hallucinating. I’m talking about the competition where generating something isn’t always easy.

      They can’t. I argue once to check if its just a casual ‘thing u heard’ or a committed thing, then block the slop cultists. I swear nft’s werent this annoying.

          Nft’s were extremely annoying, but the commitment wasnt this hard.

          They were stupid and wasteful but not otherwise too horrible; they were just more and dumber collectible ‘ownership’ fetishism. Ignorable.

          This shit destroys peoples minds entirely. People are dying over this shit. It murdered truth. It’s destroyed the world economy and set back climate adaptation by at least a decade while devastating a generation’s labor practices. And because it’s so horrible, the cultists are more fanatical, like how those people who sacrificed their kids to rfkjr cannot be rational or sane ever the fuck again.

            Wow there is a lot packed into this comment, which I mostly agree with.

            • Dumb collectible “ownership” fetishism
            • Delusion epidemic due to AI addiction
            • Decades-long Climate adaptation setback
            • Devastating labor practices
            • Cult doomsday syndrome reinforcing false beliefs
            • Vaccine skepticism popularity and health outcomes

            I am still baffled by how you managed to stuff the entirety of endstage capitalism dystopia into two short sentences. No wonder the word “fatigue” is featured in the username!

            But I came here to point out that the last part is possible occurence of cognitive dissonance. When they have fucked up so badly, by commiting to such big evils, and especially sacrificing their kids health, yeah, there is no way back… Cognitive dissonance makes it impossible to admit the harm, so they are bound to reinforce the beliefs or face tremendous levels of guilt.

                Well, many people are not aware of the link between their ChatGPT projects and the rise in their electricity bill, nor the foreshadowed electricity drought. Contrary to what corpos had people believe about their “individual responsibility via recycling” their individual contribution to these outcomes is now actively suppressed by the billionaire-owned media. Curious.

    I managed to coax some remarkable (to me) artwork from some of the free generators. Got bored real quick though.
