Likewise, I've unsubscribed from multiple paid Patreons and Substacks as soon as they started using AI to generate content. I'd rather see an amateur MSPaint scribble than some dall-e monstrosity at the head of a newsletter.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoExactly! Even if a person isn't that great at drawing or painting, it's so much more interesting to view their attempts because they reflect something about the person. The AI-generated fluff might look nice (even I'll admit some look interesting), but it's devoid of human soul. And there's really not much point in art if it has no communicative value that originates from living beings.
- rideontime 3y agoYeah, I should be clear that I don't use the word "monstrosity" to suggest that all AI-generated images are ugly, but rather that they're inherently, viscerally disgusting regardless of their visual appeal. No amount of progress in the visual quality of their output will change how I feel about it.
