Reminder: Your stick figure doodles during math class are worth more than the most gorgeous thing AI has spat out.
Apart from my other comment, this post was a response to another post in the programmer humor community
This is the AI pic
and this is a drawing made by a commenter
But again, tell just how much betttttttttttttttter AI is
Muh prompts tho /s
I’m an engineer. A prompt engineer! /s
The most gorgeous thing AI has spat out is images in a shiny/glowy artstyle that at this point everyone knows is AI, with almost-faces that give the uncanny valley vibes, and backgrouds or text that barely makes any sense because the AI has no sense of reality and allucinates shit.
God, all these people using steel knives to cut their food for cooking, they’re so lazy, it’s so bad, I hate them so much, you can just do it with your bare hands
You know, it would have been a good analogy… if it wasn’t because it’s still done by a human in it.
AI is more akin to a Thermomix. Something that makes things for you when you don’t want to make them yourself. But then, you can’t really claim any credit, or claim it was made by a human.
Oh, wait. I’m gonna vibe code an app and say I made it with AI as if it was the same as doing it with an IDE instead of using notepad.
Ask six people to identify the ‘soul’ in a piece of art and you’ll get seven different answers. It’s an entirely subjective concept.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as the saying goes. Maybe we should stop gatekeeping what art people enjoy and stop brigading them when they dare to like something ‘real artists’ decide they shouldn’t.
Maybe we should stop licking the boot of the tools of Capitalists explicitly designed to remove humanity from the human experience.
You should probably, and I mean this kindly, touch grass
Ah, a 2mo old account slop from Reddit? Say less.
I’ll take the most chicken-scratch attempt at a meme over a photo-realistic (though still uncanny/off putting) AI generated slop any day.
At least when I’m putting a meme together by hand, I can reach a point halfway through and realize “this is stupid” and throw it away. 😆 And if you think my OC memes suck, you should see what’s on the cutting room floor lol.
see what’s on the cutting room floor
Show it then
I like y’all too much to subject you to the reject pile lol.
I’ll take this every single time over Ai slop being churned out by untalented hacks.
bUt MuH pRoMpTs!

Neither is worth while…the “effort” put in to this is so low it hardly registers, and soul it has none of. This is just as bad as AI slop, just in a different way.
This is way better than AI slop, at least a real human took the time to make it.
Human made does not equal worthwhile. not everything is worth something just because a human made it.
Anything made by AI that gives the uncanny feeling of it being mostly right, but quite not perfect.
Imo, any art made by AI is by definition worth less than a human’s art because it had no effort and no soul. It’s just given instructions to copy one of the artstyles it was trained on to make an image, and kt can’t even do it properly.
So, by my definition that AI-made is worth less than human-made, and your argument that not all human things are worth anything, AI falls into negative worth. Which makes human-made worthless still more worth than soulless, uncanny AI.
AI was supposed to do work for us so we could do the things we actually wanted to do, among which there is art. Not supposed to do the things we actually want to do, like art, so we can keep working.
Not everyone wants to do “art”, so the assumption that AI shouldn’t make that and leave it to humans is objectively wrong. Plenty of hobbies and things people love to do recreationally has no artistic value of purpose.
Use AI however you like, it can create value wherever you see fit. You don’t like it for artistic outlet which is fine, I don’t care and think this crap you made is equally meaningless.
Why not let people who are exceptional at creating ideas but terrible at putting them in to physical/visual representation use AI to aid them with skills they don’t have?
If you just prompted an AI to make your meme idea, then it’s less worthwhile than if you took the two minutes to draw it. Even if the quality is very low.
If you have a great idea but no drawing skills, why not use AI to help you get that great idea out in to the worldin great visuals? Why is your idea less worth because you needed AI to draw it? Why would the same idea be worth more if you paid a human to draw it? The idea is exactly the same
