Agrees to the first sentiment, BS on the second. Don’t accuse people of things unless you can prove it. Or at least provide more than your gut feeling because “you can tell from the pixels”.
The direct burden I’m seeing here is coming from pretentious knuckleheads washing themselves of all responsibility, arbitrarily calling peoples hard work “AI slop”, not the idiots generating “art”.
Any “acceptable” harm that only applies to a small subset of people can inevitably be applied to YOU.
Which puts even more of a burden on artists. This is the big irony of the whole movement to oppose AI and support artists is that, at least for this strain of it, more burden is placed on the artists to prove that they aren’t just using AI than on the AI ones themselves. They just generate whatever images and post them or use them. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already generators that can generate wireframes or whatever “intermediate” step can serve as “proof” it wasn’t generated by AI. I can’t think of a single piece of evidence that couldn’t theoretically also be generated. Models today might require generating 1000 images and diacarding 950 of them but the ones who don’t care about how artists are affected probably also don’t care about how much energy it takes. But even if today’s models can’t do that, I believe others will be able to sometime soon.
The people putting out AI art just see “that’s AI” as “need to get better at using AI” not “need to stop using AI”. Maybe some would care, but as someone who generally doesn’t gaf about what people think about my opinions, I know I wouldn’t. But if I was an artist just wanting to share my art, I’d be more likely to just stop sharing it than jump through whatever hoops you want to prove I’m not guilty.

It’s unfortunate, but this is the burden created by machine generated art. The damage it has created will last for generations at the least.

This looks like AI.

Upvote for this and Im glad you recognize the issue!
Calling anything AI makes the accused required to defend themselves and that itself is kinda bullshit, you know?
