Comment on Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI
FaceDeer@fedia.io 4 days agoYou can tell the voices aren't right, the pictures are soulless, the prose is stilled and often self-contradictory.
And you can't tell when the voices do turn out right, the pictures are fine, and the prose works well.
This all reminds me a lot of how people railed against CGI in movies, claiming that CGI scenes or actors would always look "uncanny valley" and that they'd always be able to tell. Many people continue to claim that to this day, unaware of just how much CGI is in each frame that they don't recognize as CGI. Or worse, they look really hard for things to complain are bad CGI and end up accusing non-CGI shots of being CGI.
Alright I’ve rethought about my earlier response. It’s true, but also irrelevant. So let me try that again without taking your comment personally.
The question is will regular people be able to tell. I think over time, even if they can’t put their finger on exactly why they don’t like something, people will demonstrate a preference for human-created art.
That’s not the end of the story — AI generated is faster and cheaper and economics will play a role — but that was my point.

Not sure who you’re used to dealing with, but I use AI all the time — damn near every day — and have done for 6 years. I’ve written a discord AI dungeon master. I’ve written hundreds perhaps over a thousand short stories often starting from a scenario I’ve written and watched them all play out time and again. I know LLMs inside and out. I’ve jailbroken them to see how far they can be pushed in terms of violence, evil, and intimacy.
I’m no professional author to be sure, but because I lack the knack for storytelling, not because I don’t understand the craft. So I understand the tools pretty well, and I can tell when they are poorly employed.
And I’m irritated because I 100% can tell, and I wish you were right.
