(OC) AI 'art' and the future

[u/SylvieXX]

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

No offense, but the text post is kind of hilarious: "Could be controversial, but I'm gonna say it." Proceeds to post a very popular and not at all controversial take.

😆😆 I was kind of afraid because I know that there are also lots of advocates for AI art..! Hehe...

True enough, though I believe they usually hang around Twitter these days.

Wow, that is perhaps one of the worst subreddits I’ve ever had the displeasure of seeing

Well, my take could actually be controversial. I’ve always been fascinated by new technological things, like VR or that Microsoft coding program that makes everything so efficient.

And yeah, I like ai images for the whole visceral element, it’s crazy how my own computer can generate an image of exactly what I’m picturing when I tell it to, it’s so incredible that it can replicate voices to create music, to an almost scary realistic degree.

But just to be expected, and to no one’s surprised people started abusing it. It is not longer a funny tool to use and show your friends, people started profiting off it by claiming it’s their art and such. As a whole, I don’t think we’ll ever get rid of genuine talent, I don’t think ai will ever replace real artists, we humans are too passionate for that. My hope is that this is just a phase and companies start realizing ai is not the way to go. We just have to keep talking with our wallets, not supporting them if they use voices of dead people in our movies, voices in a videogame instead of hiring people.

TL;DR: Ai is fun for me as an entertainment tool, but people are stupid and started abusing it.
