Comment on I always knew he was a hippie

  You’re right, I did find the AI slop with google, but in my defense, I never remember to check to see if it’s AI. Most of the time the image I’m looking for is just some stock photo, but there are plenty of AI stock photos, so I usually wind up just not knowing whether it’s AI

    The funny thing is, there are 3 main arguments against AI slop:

    1. Quality is shit (fair but technical)

    2. It has no soul / is not art (same thing could be said about real humanmade art in our postmodern)

    3. Deprives artists of value.

    The latter concern really taps into trade of creative labor for something else. That is purely capitalist bullshit that we should be callong out instead, ai is just a tiny simptom on huge ugly face of art alienation.

    The thing is, anti-ai discourse got so loud only because it’s good for capitalism. All the vigilants are doing free, non-compensated capitalist labor of curating art, both optimizing trade in massive social networks and improving AI training level. Good job, anarchists fellows.

    The picture is shit regardless, but hey it’s a meme, who judges memes?
