I’m against AI art because that is going to be used to degrade not just the value of artists’ labor, but the actual art being viewed itself, because the people who will be choosing what looks “better” are the same marketing and business execs with no taste who have been turning out non-AI CGI slop for 15 years+. They’ll become a filter that slowly converges everything towards the im-14-and-this-is-cool Marvel-ification of media that we’re already wallowing in.

Just like how “Millennial Grey” was foisted onto us who cannot even afford to buy homes, and effectively blamed on us, AI Coke Bear will somehow end up being our “choice” of art too.

But this gotcha is nothing new; I remember people doing this to troll bozos who claimed they could spot photoshops back in the early 2000s. People playing the “I can spot AI because it’s so bad” aren’t being “blinded” by their anti-ai hatred or something, they just want a reason to play at being smart online. I guarantee you this is not the only thing they become instant “experts” in when there’s online controversies.
