People are increasingly associating “AI art” with cheap slop. I wonder if the same will ever happen to programming.
- p-e-w 5mo agoPeople can’t even reliably recognize AI art anymore. The classic “AI images were everywhere in 2023, but I rarely see them now” phenomenon.
- nkrisc 5mo agoI see a lot more bad art now. I suspect most of it is AI, but I can’t prove it.
- taybin 5mo agoWhat are you talking about? They’re so ubiquitous.
- spacechild1 4mo agoIt's mostly pretty easy to recognize.

- abraxas 5mo agoNo it won't. Everyone knows their favourite film director. Virtually nobody has their favourite app developer.
- feelamee 5mo agoI think this can happen in technical communities - people who can write/read/understand code. Who really cares about software size/performance/usability/minimalism. This is a small part of the whole users, but.. why not. People who value hand-by wood goods are also a small part. Also, there are also communities which slow down AI integration - like Zig. Maybe they will alive
