I want all the money I put in to be refunded in nonsequential bills, and give it to me in one of those fancy metal briefcases please.

    Alright I’m just gonna start blocking anyone that posts AI slop. I implore others to join me in letting these goobers post silently to the void.

            Yes there is demand for art, but art is produced by people.

            AI is only able to do what it can by mimicking the art of others. By plagiarizing that work, it prevents artists from getting paid to create art and discourages people from creating and sharing art on the internet in the first place. You may not care about them, or value creativity, but image generation relies on creative people putting new artwork on the net.

            What are your bots going to create when they have nothing to feed on but themselves?

            That’s the fun upside to the internet becoming filled and killed with AI slop: AI companies are literally poisoning their own models. (Data poisoning that is)

            Predictive models of any kind produce error, and when you train on predicted data you compound that error.

            Unless AI scrapers can differentiate AI generated “art” from human generated art (which would mean that AI art never truly becomes indistinguishable-from or as-good-as human art, something techbros and idiots would be upset about), generative AI will eat its own tail in an oddly literal sense.

            The more the web fills with slop, the more AI will train on it, and the worse and worse the models will get at generating good looking images, leading the images they produce (and the ones they inevitably train on) to decrease in quality, hastening the cycle of their own degradation.

            There isn’t, though. Every time AI gets posted the response is always like this.

            People love being able to create stuff without making an effort, but NOBODY likes having soulless low-effort crap flooding their feeds unbidden.

                it’s souless because it was amalgamated from billions of images and makes absolutely no sense, with no feeling from the entire creation.

                am i supposed to feel something from seeing a bear wearing clothes and sunglasses, while holding a koala in a weird way, and thinking he’s lucky? why do both animals have 50 fingers in each hand? what feeling am i supposed to get from that?

                from any form of art created by a human, no matter how bad they are at doing it, there are feelings that you can get from experiencing that art.

            Seems from your downvotes that most people want the AI spammers to shut up and stop posting.

        We gotta increase the productivity of meme generation, obviously.

        Also the productivity of eating, socializing, and fucking. Those items really make my life a drag, can we get chatgpt on that.

          yeah, right?

          why spend time expressing yourself with art when you can ask a machine that copies and amalgamates trillions of works from billions of people into something that slightly resembles what you described in a text box? that way, we can be way more 🌟productive🌟!

        i’m sorry that you’re the type of person that sees a copyright infringement machine with no creativity and thinks that’s good because you can spend more time being productive.

        i’m sorry that you’re the type of person that would see an offer for an AI that can automatically shorten any message sent to you, and think it’s good because you can understand what the person meant faster and you can respond quicker, and think that’s good because you can spend more time being productive.

        i’m sorry that you’re the type of person that will never understand what it means to learn and create art, talk with friends, spend time with loved ones, all in the name of spending more time being productive.

        I work on machines all day grumpy pants. They’re literally my job.

        I’m not against AI, I’m against AI art. What we see here isn’t a productivity increase because it isn’t productive. Stay mad though, they say it’s good for your health.

        I’d like to remind you the luddites were the people who knew how to use the automatic looms. They were the primary people working with the machines, mostly, they didn’t lose their jobs.

        Nice “gotcha”. Why don’t you ask AI to make me the soyjack and you the chad while you’re at it. If AI hallucinations fed by thousands of hours of stolen labor is what you classify as fun then you can keep it.

        i too like to use a program that takes millions of people’s artworks and amalgamates them into something that slightly resembles a phrase i typed into a chat box
