      Yeah, art by definition requires intent. The slop hoses have no intent, just a pattern matching algorithm that matches a distribution of random noise to what the model has been trained that the words in the input prompt should look like.

    I love this so much. Every single photo in the alternatives to AI is so much better than the slop.

    Yes, on an extremely technical level, the slop is more accurate, in the exact same way that blending a cheeseburger is more proficient than chewing it. I want the jagged edges and real creative choices.

    As much as I agree with the author, I’m almost positive he’s wrong about the majority of people hating AI art. It’s ubiquitous at this point, and by its nature that means tons of people are using it themselves. And, as long as it remains free, people are going to keep doing so.

    Maybe that will change when physical reality overtakes hype-driven economics. Until then I can only hope AI art gets looked at the same way clipart was in the early 2000s someday soon. It is unbearably cringe.

    It’s not art, I’d argue. In the same scene that some long filmed things aren’t cinema.

    It’s anecdotal, but my top YT video on my channel is about training the algorithm to give you less AI slop.
