I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I'm tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative AI spam...

For the record, I block any explicit AI Art communities that pop up in the feed, but there are more every day...

Maybe 1 in 10 AI generated images posted here I look at that are any interest to me.

Most character mashups outside of a handful aren't very interesting (the pokemon museum one was neat). Most are kinda meh, but don't bother me as at least with my current settings only a few AI art communities appear on my feed.

Not at all, continue!

Nah, keep them coming. I've seen the sunset from my window hundreds of times, it's still pretty.

A few is fine, if AI pics appear in my feed more than that, then it does annoy me.

AI art is a turn off for me. Not just for how it looks, but how it disrespects the works of millions of artists and its users complete disregard to their welfare.

Just think of all those copyists the printing press put out of work. We should have abolished the printing press and gone back to hand copying.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It is unlawful to copy, reproduce, and or distribute copyrighted works using a printing press without the express permission of the author or creator.

Unless of course the author made it before an arbitrary date in time, or if they failed to follow every single rule required to copyright it, or if they were a citizen of a country that didn't have a treaty in place, or if the owner is a corporation and it hasn't been a billion years since the author died, or if the estate of the author was split between more than one person and a subset agrees but the others do not...

That's the thing with this crap. It is all based on what the very wealthy wanted not based on what helped artists and not based on what made sense. So of course the Church of Scientology can keep religious texts away from the public, of course Disney will always own Mickey Mouse, of course some small poor culture doesn't have a right to a single dime from the marketing of their heritage, off course the general public doesn't have a right to their own culture, and of course it is perfectly fine to endlessly sell something you didn't create because the publisher messed up a word in a legal blurb.

It's a shit system and I won't defend a shit system. I wonder why you do.

Because I empathize with people who’ve spent their life learning a trade, honing a skill that are facing poverty because people have found a turbo charged way to steal their work and not pay them.

I enjoy them. They're usually quite creative, and I'm constantly amazed at what the technology can accomplish. I frequently forget that I can turn to DALL-E when I want pictures of specific things, and those posts remind me.

[-] Eccitaze@yiffit.net 1 points 10 months ago

I hate hate hate hate it, I'd be happy if they were all banned, tbh.

This is prolly gonna be a hot take but the only reason I don't block AI art communities is so that I can downvote them whenever I see an AI art post. Yes, I'm that petty, and no, I don't give a shit.

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Some of it's really gross looking

[-] paysrenttobirds@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

I think it's not cool unless it's funny. I'm trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don't even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.
