In my opinion, AI just feels like the logical next step for capitalist exploitation and destruction of culture. Generative AI is (in most cases) just a fancy way for cooperations to steal art on a scale, that hasn’t been possible before. And then they use AI to fill the internet with slop and misinformation and actual artists are getting fired from their jobs, because the company replaces them with an AI, that was trained on their original art. Because of these reasons and some others, it just feels wrong to me, to be using AI in such a manner, when this community should be about inclusion and kindness. Wouldn’t it be much cooler, if we commissioned an actual artist for the banner or find a nice existing artwork (where the licence fits, of course)? I would love to hear your thoughts!

    I’m not sure weather it is AI or not. It’s much easier to tell when the images are ment to look realistic.

    I very much agree. Text generation has many valid use cases and I use it on a day to day basis, but image generation as much fewer valid use cases and much more malicious ones.

        Wait what? I’m really confused I thought this post was about a different image when I commented that.

        I totally agree this is definetly ai and I can tell very easily.

        A couple more spots:

        The one at the back in the middle with the arrow pointing above its head also has hands emerging directly from its torso

        The one at the back squished in between the two signs is missing an ear

        Iris/pupil size 2nd from the right are wildly asymmetrical

        Also the whole thing looks like shit

      Do you not extend the same sympathy to writers as you do visual artists?

        Yes I do. Although I don’t use text generation for writing creative pieces I use it for coding and help in the Linux terminal. It’s not like I was going to pay anyone to do that for me.
