People are increasingly associating “AI art” with cheap slop. I wonder if the same will ever happen to programming.

[feelamee]

I think this can happen in technical communities - people who can write/read/understand code. Who really cares about software size/performance/usability/minimalism.

This is a small part of the whole users, but.. why not. People who value hand-by wood goods are also a small part.

Also, there are also communities which slow down AI integration - like Zig. Maybe they will alive

sure and there are chair phreaks and headphone phreaks but meanwhile ikea sells 10 million of the mass produced chair and headphones are $1 at the dollar store

People can’t even reliably recognize AI art anymore.

The classic “AI images were everywhere in 2023, but I rarely see them now” phenomenon.

I see a lot more bad art now. I suspect most of it is AI, but I can’t prove it.

[spacechild1]

It's mostly pretty easy to recognize.

[taybin]

What are you talking about? They’re so ubiquitous.

[feelamee]

this only ones you can recognize What about others which you think is made by human?

[taybin]

I haven’t seen any that are made by humans for a long time.

[abraxas]

No it won't. Everyone knows their favourite film director.

Virtually nobody has their favourite app developer.

Only if the quality is bad. And users normally can only judge this when something is not working. So maybe only badly written/tested software will get labeled ai slop.
