There is a no-AI audience because "AI" is now associated to jumping on the latest bandwagon for no discernible reason (and if there's a reason, it's usually for getting VC money). And price increases as a bonus.
There is a no-AI audience because vendors turn this crap on by default and I don't know where my data (which may not even belong to me but to a customer!) goes.
"AI" is the new Clippy. Except MS didn't charge extra for Clippy.
- b112 1y agoYes, yes they did charge. The price was an agonizing wrenching feeling, as yet another small piece of your soul disappeared, each time you saw it.
- add-sub-mul-div 1y agoIt's also synonymous with bad art, bad writing, climate irresponsibility, and hallucination. The problem is, people want to do the least amount of work possible and go home at 5, so they're all too happy to use the tech that their employer is forcing down their throats.
- Kuinox 1y agoIt's synonymous for you - not the rest of the world.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoIf you think AI art/writing is bad, you should have seen what the people who produced it were producing before.
- nottorp 1y agoI don't think "AI" will either improve or worsen your average tv series. The question is, will the samey bland series peddlers pass the cost savings on to whoever likes that kind of stuff?
- oblio 1y agoI think AI will raise the floor, which is sort of good. That will make things a LOT more unequal. When everyone is very mediocre, the few that stand out, stand our a lot more, and since everyone is used to the sameness, they'll reward difference a lot more.
- add-sub-mul-div 1y agoThere were bad hamburgers before McDonalds started to mass produce them, but now everyone is eating slop.
- spacemadness 1y agoAI generative output seems to have similar output to when you flood a creative field with capital and demand returns off a flourishing subgenre. A lot of mediocrity from trying to simulate that magic with a great lack of inspiration.
- xigoi 1y agoMostly they were producing nothing, which is certainly better than AI “art”.
- CuriouslyC 1y agoYou obviously didn't browse deviantart prior to 2022.
- vonunov 1y ago[textbroker moment] Oh, and even more aptly, do you remember "spinning"? This was a manual job, if you can imagine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_spinning https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_spinning
- Zambyte 1y agoArt is good or bad if it expresses what the artist wants it to express or not. It is not strictly a matter of quality / fidelity. It is terribly difficult to produce good art through the common chat interface used to create art with AI. Tools that allow iterative refinement like ComfyUI are far more capable for allowing people to create art with AI, but they are also far more capable at producing something that is low quality.
- spacemadness 1y agoWhat’s interesting about this take, and I don’t disagree with the sentiment, is watching Apple get skewered by fumbling AI integration on the iPhone. That’s obviously of their own doing since they turned on their marketing machine on full blast and made promises. But some users seemed really disappointed in their lack of AI features compared to Android. I don’t think anyone would be disappointed for removal of Clippy.
