Ai image output is ugly. It just averages everything at a massive scale from stuff its trained on. It might look cohesive enough to be ignorable but under scrutiny its just generic and sloppy at best.
Not to mention everything being so glossy all the time
you seem to be talking about a specific kind of content, completely ignoring that AI can be made to fart out anything you want.
Like the whole point is that it just takes parts of what it’s been fed and recombines it into an output, right? so it only makes sense that it should be capable of making beautiful things, because it was fed beautiful things.
if you insist that everything AI models put out is ugly then you’re kinda implying that all art is ugly, which obviously cannot be true.
AI art is soulless, which is a very different thing from being ugly. Most corporate things are surface-level pretty but fundamentally soulless.
To me the main thing that’s ugly about it comes from how most of what gets posted is from the top few services, which intentionally standardize their outputs so that any prompt will result in an image that is generically ‘good quality’. So then you get stuff that’s all in the same boring style, like the style of the OP comic that you see in (fully generated) AI comics everywhere. The actual range of what AI images can look like is much larger than what people are getting from ChatGPT.

Your ignorance is showing, maybe you’re thinking of a year ago but it’s 2025.
