    How dare you cheat and submit human-generated content to an honest AI competition? Entrants spent literally minutes crafting and refining prompts.

      I’m not even against the idea¹ of using it for some shitty clip art on your corporate presentation or whatever, but it has decoupled ‘images’ from ‘art’ and ‘meaning’. They are not artists, they are not making art.

      ¹the practice, however, being ecologically devastating makes it less desirable.

        A corporate can afford artist so they should hire artists, the situation is different for private people who may not have money to hire an artist or the skill to do themselves for their need

      I have used AI to ‘create’ art and music for entirely personal purposes. I shared some too with friends but that’s the extent of it. I would never call myself an artist or musician. People who do are delusional at best.

      My MIL paid some AI “creator” company to write a song for her husbands birthday.

      Cost her $200 for a 90 second song…

      They can’t. I argue once to check if its just a casual ‘thing u heard’ or a committed thing, then block the slop cultists. I swear nft’s werent this annoying.

        NFTs definitely were this annoying, but I also think its the same people doing it now with AI, so maybe its just the people who are annoying

          Nft’s were extremely annoying, but the commitment wasnt this hard.

          They were stupid and wasteful but not otherwise too horrible; they were just more and dumber collectible ‘ownership’ fetishism. Ignorable.

          This shit destroys peoples minds entirely. People are dying over this shit. It murdered truth. It’s destroyed the world economy and set back climate adaptation by at least a decade while devastating a generation’s labor practices. And because it’s so horrible, the cultists are more fanatical, like how those people who sacrificed their kids to rfkjr cannot be rational or sane ever the fuck again.

            Wow there is a lot packed into this comment, which I mostly agree with.

            • Dumb collectible “ownership” fetishism
            • Delusion epidemic due to AI addiction
            • Decades-long Climate adaptation setback
            • Devastating labor practices
            • Cult doomsday syndrome reinforcing false beliefs
            • Vaccine skepticism popularity and health outcomes

            I am still baffled by how you managed to stuff the entirety of endstage capitalism dystopia into two short sentences. No wonder the word “fatigue” is featured in the username!

            But I came here to point out that the last part is possible occurence of cognitive dissonance. When they have fucked up so badly, by commiting to such big evils, and especially sacrificing their kids health, yeah, there is no way back… Cognitive dissonance makes it impossible to admit the harm, so they are bound to reinforce the beliefs or face tremendous levels of guilt.

                Well, many people are not aware of the link between their ChatGPT projects and the rise in their electricity bill, nor the foreshadowed electricity drought. Contrary to what corpos had people believe about their “individual responsibility via recycling” their individual contribution to these outcomes is now actively suppressed by the billionaire-owned media. Curious.

    this is like a 2 year old meme at this point. Please don’t strip out the date when you take a screenshot of social media.

      “strip out” implies it was there at all in the first place. I don’t know how you include an absolute date in a screenshot when no absolute date is actually displayed. I guess maybe hover over the relative time and hope that whatever OS or screenshot utility being used doesn’t cause a tooltip to disappear

        fair enough; I don’t use proprietary sm anyway so I don’t know what’s common there.

          it’s just one of so many things about software and websites in the past 5 years or so, everything must always be a relative date, with finding absolute dates and times being way more of a pain in the ass than it should be.

          tiny but noticeable bit of enshittification :<

    I managed to coax some remarkable (to me) artwork from some of the free generators. Got bored real quick though.

      Please don’t call it “artwork” because it’s not art nor work, call it “image”
