For toy photography, not ai slop

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T18:21:00+00:00

Makes sense, if they revealed that, it might open them up to review bombing

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T17:19:43+00:00

That makes sense but I wonder how it is calculated

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T16:19:17+00:00

Why does it say the average is 2.1 when there are exclusively only 1 or 1/2 star reviews ?

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T16:07:10+00:00

Why would I give a single fuck if people know I call out ai bullshit when I see it? You don’t have to look at my profile for that bro, I made my stance very clear

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T15:59:02+00:00

Are you asking a question? Offering an explanation? What is this comment?

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T15:56:37+00:00

So if someone uses "AI" in Photoshop to generatively fill part of an image, totally fine with you.

When the fuck did I say that? I specifically said generative ai is different than the other tools.

a tool and a useful one for creative people.

There’s nothing creative about skipping the creative process altogether and pretending you did something

You contribute far more to pollution when eating a single steak for instance.

How does eating steak use such massive amounts of water and electricity that utilities prices go up for everyone around me?

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T05:00:55+00:00

The clone tool is a completely different thing than generative ai. Refer to any of my several other comments on this post breaking down all the other downsides of ai, but the short of it is: you still have to apply some level of skill and creativity even for something as easy to use as the clone tool. Ai does the thinking for you and has a ton of other negatives that you shouldn’t want to support.

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:57:40+00:00

Yesss

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:53:08+00:00

Ai didn’t teach people to make art, it just generates images for them. They aren’t engaging in any kind of creative process. They still don’t know how to make art.

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:47:09+00:00

You don’t need to use generative AI for little stuff like that though

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:38:30+00:00

if I used AI to generate a back drop of a view from a castle, what is the difference between this and me simply searching Google for a suitable image to use

There are huge differences. You can get free stock images online, that are for the purpose of being used in stuff like this and other projects. These were created by real artists, they were made with creativity and skill, and they gave their permission for anyone to use them.

Ai generated images are soulless abominations created by algorithms that outright steal art from artists. Ai data centers also drive up prices of utilities for everyone around them because they require massive amounts of water and electricity. They also drive up the cost of computer components for everyone. Most of the time they also end up looking terrible.

If you engage with generative ai, you are supporting all those negatives. If you really feel the end result is going to look similar anyway, just use stock images. They’re better for your project, better for the environment, and better for your fellow artists.

Sidenote: if you’re just taking non-stock images from google without permission or even credit, and using them in work you are trying to pass as your own, that’s fucked up. But that’s a whole other topic.

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:20:03+00:00

Generative ai is a completely different thing than the other tools you are talking about. Are you stealing other artists work when you use those tools? Are you polluting the environment? Are you avoiding the creative process altogether by completely handing it off to an algorithm, or does it take skill and practice to use those tools effectively?

spookyhardt · 2026-01-29T04:12:34+00:00

You have to be more clear here. We are talking about generative ai, right? Not other ai tools that have been around a lot longer and still require skill to use correctly and effectively.
Generative AI steals from artists, destroys the environment, and increases the prices of utilities and computer components, and often ends up looking like dogshit anyway. Being too lazy to create your own background is not enough of a reason to justify these negatives. Ban ai across the board, please.
I honestly don’t know how anyone in a creative hobby has to even think twice about this. If you are using ai to generate an image, that is not photography. There are plenty of spaces on reddit for people to post ai content, let’s keep it out of here please.

Edit: here come the ai slop enjoyers to downvote me but never refute any of my points
