I fucking love cats so much!!!
You’ll be one of the first they come after.
The basilisk has detected an anomaly.
I managed to coax some remarkable (to me) artwork from some of the free generators. Got bored real quick though.
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.
Generate an advanced, good looking image using ComfyUI and report back how easy it was. Shit’s breaking my mind and I’m good with computers.
Just to give others an idea: https://learn.thinkdiffusion.com/a-list-of-the-best-comfyui-workflows/
But then again, I’m talking about generating stuff locally.
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.
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.
Its extremely uncanny and kinda stupid.
But as long as i dont focus or get interested in details, it doesnt hurt physically.
Uncanny is the word. It feels like it’s going to hurt physically.
It does when i try to focus on anything!
I hope people keep doing this. It’s a few times now lol. Fuck Ai.
Is this the reverse Turing test? It can be used to gauge if hominid hype followers can “really” think…
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.
NFTs definitely were this annoying, but I also think its the same people doing it now with AI, so maybe its just the people who are 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.
Was that really worth making the lights flicker on the Midwest grid?
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.
People did notice it wasnt AI. It was good.
It’s clearly not AI because it doesn’t have weird uncanny and wonky shit. Also the text on the monitor is readable even though it’s blurry
Ai image generators can pretty reliably do text now
Not at that scale, they can do larger text fine but at a certain size it just breaks down
However, it is cool that she recreated that AI look to trick them.
Wow is it almost to the point humans can make art that looks real?
How dare you cheat and submit human-generated content to an honest AI competition? Entrants spent literally minutes crafting and refining prompts.
spoiler
/S
That is such a cute picture
Alfredo Inshtine over here.
so their art is so bad it was mistaken for ai? weird flex but ok.
It won an AI art competition… because all the actual AI art was shit
More like, “This is the only one that doesn’t look like shit.”
more like “ooble gooble mordi bordi”
Well yeah, if you put it that way…
Another win for ricky.
You may want to sharpen that edge of yours…. It’s pretty dull.
Like a cold butter knife through concrete.
Well put.
But consider the old adage that a dull knife is a dangerous knife.
No, Ricky. There’s nothing dangerous about your trolling. It’s just cringy.
Blocking you now, so… feel free to respond!
I thought it was a pretty bizarre idea, to submit real art to a garbage fake art contest. And then post about it like it makes an obvious point or something. Not sure why they did that or what they think it means that they won
Edit: I take it the downvoters don’t understand it either.
i mean, if the contest has a prize it’d be some easy money and practice. nobody wants to be a starving artist
