    This is so true. I’ve spent the last 15 years collecting pictures like these and ai has made every one of them obsolete.

    I like to gaslight myself into thinking that all the absurd AI content I see online are just weird photoshop images in disguise

        Me neither. I kid, but I genuinely have trouble telling the difference between AI and heavily edited images. Someone on Reddit posted a video of a model on Insta who I assumed was heavily filters and everyone caught on that’s it AI but it took me reading the comments and constantly rewatching to see it.

        We are so fucked

    It’s little depressing, cause you post that now and it will get all the same “ai slop” hate.

    I think the best that we can hope for is that people will put the same about of work into their AI artwork as they put into this. And the results will be 100x better than what we have without AI.

      I find the “AI slop” commenters as annoying as the “that didn’t happen/everyone clapped/albert einstein handed you a $100 bill” ones. Their contribution is shittier than what they are commenting on even when they are correct, but it’s not rare to see a comment like that followed by the dumbest logic as to why they think that’s the case (especially on reddit).

        Great point. I have found myself seeing a meme and laughing and enjoying it, then reading the top comments about “AI slop” and question whether I should have enjoyed it or not. I’m going to try to ignore that part of my brain from now on.

          It’s impossible to enjoy an AI meme when you know that the handcrafted organic meme farmers are going out of business.

          Noo but what about the artists that could have been paid a comission to make that meme!?

    At the risk of getting downvoted I gotta say there is some excellent weird stuff on that same level that was created with the help of AI tools. There are some artists out there with actual talent and creativity using genAI.

    It’s a damn shame that it’s drowned out by the very real and very overwhelming amount of slop. I keep hoping the creeps that flood the internet with that crap get bored of it so it’s easier for actually creative stuff to rise to the top.

    What does the text on that beautiful Strawberry Elephant creature say? Looks like it’s in Farsi

        It says “strawberry morning”, lit. “morning of strawberry” (might be misspelled??)
        It’s a variation on common Arabic morning greetings, “good morning”, “morning of roses”, “morning of light”, etc.
