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 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:
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.

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.

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!
