Without AI you'd still be looking at dozens of artists' mockups of wooden satellites because they have to put something at the top of the blog post or news article to catch viewer attention.
- squigz 2y agoSeriously - have people forgotten what so much of the Internet looked liked prior to just a few years ago? That is to say, exactly the same? SEO spam, quick artist mockups, mass-generated crap.
- strogonoff 2y agoWhen it takes actual effort to create something, you tend to think about what exactly you are creating ahead of time. Time commitment and opportunity cost mean that the resulting work is a combination of both your raw mechanical effort and critical thought (both ahead of time and during the actual work).
- tivert 2y ago> Without AI you'd still be looking at dozens of artists' mockups of wooden satellites No, that's a false equivalence. The artists' mockups wouldn't be this bad. They'd either have gotten a real photo or based their artwork on one. Now Google Images is flooded with images generated in two minutes from half-assed prompts. > because they have to put something at the top of the blog post or news article to catch viewer attention. They do not. That's just a current-year web design tic, which "AI" will probably kill.
