Literally what the title says.

Reasons - you can absolutely live without it.
- it uses too much water.
- data centers does nothing but harm the environment.
- ai pictures can't be called ART or used in any form to imitate art.
- no one wants to see your chatgpt generated pic with prompts.

I agree for specifically Gen AI, it's a bunch of slop and some people actually think they can replace human made art with it💀

grandquiver-69

Generative AI does nothing to help with human advancements, that's different and is the image stuff

grandquiver-69

OP probably only means the picture and so called AI 'art' stuff

grandquiver-69

Wow aren't you correct

grandquiver-69

That's what Gen AI is basic for

grandquiver-69

Like what exactly

grandquiver-69

I'm pretty sure we already have tools like that in some apps

grandquiver-69

Filters and stuff too already exist and look pretty natural

grandquiver-69

Nah I remember some background cutting tool from years ago on an app similar to Photoshop, it was pretty quick and was around before AI I just forgot the name

grandquiver-69

MAYBE IDK

grandquiver-69

Oh wait, there was smth else for it

grandquiver-69

Ah I forgot, tbh it's more of an issue with creating images and 'art' imo rather than tools for editing

grandquiver-69

'helps' actual people in those jobs can do so much better, clothes designers do fashion and that's related to art

grandquiver-69

AI would spit out an average look, fashion designers have more imagination involved if they just use their brains

grandquiver-69

Also there's a lot of inspo already online if they genuinely struggle with creating clothing stuff

grandquiver-69

Yes I read it

grandquiver-69

They don't need it

grandquiver-69

I literally replied to it lmao

grandquiver-69

I already said I read it and I disagree with them just using AI to 'help' them see how it would actually look like

zestyheron-77

AI that's properly used for scientific progress: a good advancement.

AI that's used to get out of doing things the right way: that's what this post prob talks about.

grandquiver-69

It doesn't help them improve, it just stops them from actually thinking of better more original designs when they could literally look for ideas online

@zestyheron-77 AI that's properly used for scientific progress: a good advancement. AI that's used to get out of d…
grandquiver-69

The second one yes, that's what a big issue with it is

grandquiver-69

Ok then stop responding lol

zestyheron-77

"Euh, let me just generate an image for my Undertale fanga-"

'Time to make a freaking original masterpiece with pen and fucking parchme-"

grandquiver-69

I understand it but don't believe it actually helps them, there are much better ways

@zestyheron-77 "Euh, let me just generate an image for my Undertale fanga-" 'Time to make a freaking original mast…
grandquiver-69

There's this thing called learning to draw, also that part can be fun

zestyheron-77

AI used in laziness is bad.

AI used for things that would take extra resources and now unnecessary pathways is a gray area.

It's really a tradeoff.

zestyheron-77

And AI is just saturating itself anyways with how much it's being used nowadays.

snowysilver-75

In the water argument yall definitely focused on the wrong stuff ignoring stuff like coca cola or nestle

grandquiver-69

Lmao the whataboutism on this post is crazy, this is specifically abt Gen AI which is a whole load of crap😭

quickbadger-36

Well,you make art then

quickbadger-36

I mean.. it's not like there is only one medium to doing one thing

quickbadger-36

Man made art

quickbadger-36

Man made a machine that made art

quickbadger-36

Still a work of mankind

quickbadger-36

And right about using up water, we got alot of those anyways

grandquiver-69

Just cos u aren't an artist/ aren't interested in the art space doesn't make it a big deal for those that gen AI affects in that industry💀

grandquiver-69

Doesn't mean it isn't an 'actual issue', just cos ur not affected by it

@quickbadger-36 Man made a machine that made art
quickxenon-97 OP

Machine can't make art, yall just call pictures art. Ai slop lacks soul. Ai may make pretty pictures but not art

quickxenon-97 OP

Art topic matters too. Also the post was bout against generative ai as a whole that includes fraud and mental health issues caused by ai. I added the topic bout art cause it's been too popular these days and people still believe ai slop is art.

@quickxenon-97 Machine can't make art, yall just call pictures art. Ai slop lacks soul. Ai may make pretty picture…
quickbadger-36

Well..it all depends on what you call art and a soul

quickbadger-36

You can't show me a soul either

quickbadger-36

They both require a process. So let's appreciate the work

@quickbadger-36 They both require a process. So let's appreciate the work
quickxenon-97 OP

No, no way in hell you're calling ai pics real art that's just another level of dumb

@quickxenon-97 No, no way in hell you're calling ai pics real art that's just another level of dumb
quickbadger-36

Well. This is the 21st century

quickbadger-36

But well. Everyone has their own share of beliefs

quickbadger-36

You can't even make a better artwork than the Ai stuff you considered non art works

quickbadger-36

Look up the definition of art anyways

@quickbadger-36 Well..it all depends on what you call art and a soul
quickxenon-97 OP

Typing in "prompt xyz" then getting a picture ain't art.
