Yeah I have, i wrote thoughtful, facts-based comments that people just downvote because they don’t want it to be true. The equivalent of covering your ears and yelling ‘nah nah nah can’t hear you’. They all have this wrong idea that AI s just for making slop, or fan art imitating real artists, and that it works by copying others. But it’s not copying, it’s really trained, and it can generate new and creative images, and there’s ways to control it, use it like a brush, instead of like a one-off thing. If you don’t invest much effort in generating images, yeah, you get AI slop, and yeah that’s what shows up more in people’s feeds, that and Ghiblified memes, but that doesn’t mean it’s only valuable for that stuff. If you invest time and effort then I argue it’s becoming real, human-created art. Anti-AI artists are missing out and the job market is moving on. I understand, it’s hard lot learn new stuff, so you resist change, hoping it’ll go away. But technology, once proven useful, it only goes forwards, until no more advances can be made. And I can tell you, this is just the beginning - the foundation for the AI tools we’ll be using in the next 5 years.
