Wow, such hate for anything AI. I haven't used it, I don't care to. But I have teenaged kids and I've seen them hang and tinker with tech and ai. They seem to love it.

Sloppy humans create sloppy output. The AI is just an amplifier, it has no motive

There are things to hate about AI besides the slop it outputs. To name a few: - The training set being mostly art made be real humans without their consent or compensation - The work that is taken away from skilled, talented musicians - The environmental impact of global AI deployments - The further consolidation of power in the hands of the very few who DO have a motive

AI being "fun" for kids who aren't able to grasp the negative externalities of using AI doesn't make it something to admire

Wow, such failure to learn from the mistakes of the past.

I'm sure you're right that AI augmented workflows can (& do?) produce beautiful works that I would call art... it's just that the overwhelming majority of AI 'art' I experience on the internet is slop.

I feel like I make this comment a lot, but: how do you know?

You recognize obvious slop as slop. But this is a survivor bias-like phenomenon. You have no idea what goes unnoticed.

If you're talking about stuff posted to communities that are self-selecting for AI art submissions, that's another kind of fallacy.

Because good things are few and far between and it's pretty easy to discern provenance out of band in almost all of those cases.
