Are we really turning to AI to create a few 3D shapes and a rock wall with a hole in it?
I get the joke - it’s funny even. But seriously I would rather see a crude stick drawing from someone with no artistic talent than this soulless slop.
Someone made a better version back in 2021 as well.
This is a million times better than that Ai slop
It’s so fucking common these days. I keep seeing it on things I want to like, but I refuse to encourage the behavior.
Then why are you on Lemmy’s leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest…
I don’t filter by instance. I get everything. Also, it doesn’t change my point.
I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is “Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights” it’s kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don’t believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn’t make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of “we need to respect copyright” and “stealing intellectual property is wrong” “won’t someone think of the
childrenartists”.You should write more.
Great argument.
how did you recognise it? I only managed to after zooming in to see the wobble in the text
The obvious one to me was the two pyramid triangle things.
The block box thing only comes with one.
Sizes are off, especially the circle wouldn’t fit.
This is the new comic style being spammed everywhere. I think the most telling thing is that literally everything has this paper texture in a digital drawing, except the speech bubble, also this font is very specific to them.
It is getting harder spotting AI, but very doable yet.
Agreed, but it’s all downhill from here. When AI generated content is completely indistinguishable from human, things will
I don’t know how to make this. I would have asked AI.
Something being made by ai doesn’t automatically make it bad.
Im not sure how you know it’s ai

That’s my point. It doesn’t have to look like this. It could look way shittier and make the same joke - the joke would land the same way. So why add a middleman? I’d rather see the shitty drawing by a human brain.
I don’t think AI is bad - I think using AI to create art is bad. AI used in technical applications makes sense, cracking our genome, predicting weather events, creating new medicines. I want the experiences that make us uniquely human to remain made by humans.
Im not sure how you know it’s ai
This generic style has been popping up a lot recently. Also observe the odd varying width in the letters, that’s a common indication. It also lacks much sense on a logical level, something a human can typically discern when creating art. Why are there four speech bubble indicators but six objects? Why two pyramids? None of these things further improve or modify the joke - so why were they included? Not saying a human couldn’t make these artistic choices, but they add up and set off my AI alarm bells.

That’s a common design choice in commics for groups of people is it not?
Looked like an intentional design choice to me before I noticed it’s ai.the experiences that make us uniquely human
What do you mean by that?
I just got the hardcopy of this novel about a week ago and it’s amazing.
I’m oblivious. What novel is this?
Other commenter got the title. The artist is Junji Ito, and he has a lot of works as equally creepy as this one. Uzumaki might be the most popular one
Thank you, both! Already deeply engrossed in it.
If you’re curious they made uzumaki into an anime.
I’ll be honest, I’m immediately apprehensive that they messed it up. Is it good? Quick Google search says Ito was involved so that’s a relief
I found it really creepy! I hadn’t read uzumaki beforehand, I did afterwards and enjoyed both. It might be a bit of an off-putting style, but it’s staying true to the art style of ito.
That’s not the only meme it’s referencing, OP.
DRRR DRRR
This is far side for millennials and i like it lol
Edit: Oh god it’s AI trash. Sad
Report it and hopefully they’ll take it down.
Not so “soulless” if you initially found it funny… 😼
It steals the art of real artists to generate its images.
So yeah it steals and projects their soul too.
It’s gross and its creator should have to pay every artist it stole content from to train their bot.
Piracy isn’t stealing.
Stealing from artists and not corporations is stealing.
Also trying to pass off other people’s art as your own is not piracy.
EDIT: Never mind. Upon reviewing your post history and modlog, I’ve noticed a lot of “pick up a pencil”-esque statements that at best, don’t really contribute to the conversation and at worst, are inflammatory. While I initially posted assuming good faith, I’ve concluded that the conversation is unlikely to remain productive, and thus I’ve blocked you. Take care.

Alright, I’ll make my point seriously.
No, I do not generally agree that AI-generated images are “theft”. GiovanH’s blog post explains it better than I could - please go read it when you find the time. But a tl;dr is that models aren’t simple collage machines - they actually pick up concepts from the images they’re trained on, and demonstrate an ability to combine them to output novel ones - not exactly, but pretty similar to how concepts are combined in manually-made art. It’s also mathematically impossible for image diffusion models to directly contain their training imagery, due to their small size (SDXL models, for instance, are around 6.5 GB while being trained on billions of images). Of course, there is a small chance of overfitting happening, which the post gets into more detail about.
Also, I don’t believe it’s meaningful to distinguish whether something has “soul”, based on its medium. People can’t agree on what a “soul” is, or if it even exists. What can actually be quantified is whether AI art invokes reactions in people - which it most definitely does, whether you find the comics funny, are repulsed by their mediums, or simply shrug at them and move on. Besides, it was a human who prompted to generate the image in the first place.
AI is a new technology, and it’s totally OK to be worried about its impact on society. However, I’d say the best way to go about it is to clearly state each other’s opinions and skip the buzzwords and assumptions. If you’re willing to reply back, feel free, even if you find yourself disagreeing most of the time! As long as we can keep this civil.
If we take away the illegal stolen training data I don’t have an issue with ML programs.
You don’t get to pass other people’s work off as your own. No matter how many layers of obfiscation you pump it though.
Your edgy reply meant to arrogantly dismiss the real work of talented people deserves to get ratiod. No amount of whining at me will change you being in the wrong either. Theft is theft.
I’m sorry you’ve spent so much time contorting your mind to accept theft from artists.
I hope you can grow up and be a better person one day.
