Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

The only use fascists have for human creativity is in the invention of inhumane cruelties.
It makes me weirdly angry each time I see one.
There's also just so much that's more fantastical and interesting than a lot of present, common stuff.

I'll never forgive myself for that one.
I almost fell for the “use AI tools to make animations!” promos.
I’d rather teach myself in Procreate & take my time.

Same lazy language and everything.
That should tell all of us anything we've ever needed to know about "AI".
I think it's a good idea but I don't need it
thhis time travel stuff, somoeday, perhaps after time is done, I hope to discuss it with you in the sacred halls of the poet warriors

I write on platforms offering content for free. I don’t make any money from it. Without images to accompany content, nobody clicks. Smart titles help, but don’t cut through like an image (however shit). I’d love to pay, but web readers don’t. Need one to fund the other.
Personally I go CC0, I. E. art specifically made for anyone to use how they please and licensed such the artist need not know you even exist for you to have such permissions.

It's shouldn't matter. Very likely (and sooner rather than later) we won't be able to distinguish. It's still AI garbage. 👍🏻.

As soon as he saw a better option, he chose the right path; do not berate this man
Eternal gratitude, Alex.
Every time you use your camera, you're taking work from a painter. Are we mad about that?
Deal with the fact that AI art is going to have a place in society, and rather than fight a rear-guard action, try to define its place so you can define the value of human art, going forward.
I’m a real person, and a guitarist. I’ve been playing for over 25 years, and I feel I should explain that I snagged this name while it was available because I didn’t want some tech bro with no musical ability to do evil with it. It was probably a bad idea, in hindsight, but 🤷♀️😅
AI art is so damn fast and easy.
Every great thing we embrace in life is something that makes life easier. OR more beautiful. Or interesting.
AI is unhealthy, but also sometimes beautiful, or interesting. We need our quick fixes.
I don't know anyone happy who doesn't realize this. I don't know anyone miserable who does.
there's no reason to use ai art for posts

It's not art. How convincing it is or isn't is irrelevant.
There's nothing intelligent about it.
But I do appreciate ideas if anyone's got em!
see that shit in my feed.
Folks are boiling 5 gallon buckets of fresh water all so they can have a weird ass looking AI image of what appears to be a "human" eating a slice of pizza with it's neck.
Yes. The reason is Capitalism.

Artists make their own art.
Is a derogatory term.

not as hard as you think, bud
it’s AI trash, AI garbage, corrosive AI filth that’s systematically eating away at the ability of REAL humans to share or enjoy REAL work that has actual value, and it’s defenders should jump in the bin right along with it.
ridiculous you think this is a gotcha
actually I'm not convinced you think but whatever
yes. that's the point.
Christies don't care as long as they make cash, and the interest is from crypto/vc/nft types who see art as a commodity.
Love your use of "beta" on this thread. Such an edgy boy.
a few clickity-clicks and it shits it right out!
Am I gonna make the computer cry? Who cares?
If so, it is slop (derogatory)
We hurt those little ones and zeros feelings.
AI art is wrong.
Stop it.
bots calling me a loser: bad
or art.
You're projecting like an IMAX. Why don't you have ChatGPT make some responses? They'll certainly be better than your posts.
Yeah keep doubling down on this, bud.
This totally isn't gonna add more to your public embarrassment right now...

2) good
AI is proliferating so fast and so broadly we need to raze it to the ground figuratively before it razes art to the ground literally.
I don't need an LLM trained on a pile of text or images to attempt to guess what an actual person can assess.
YOU stop YOUR BS.
All GenAI images are slop. Slop built from work stolen from others.
All AI art is theft
