When they shit out that fuckass "your ai slop bores me" image a million times they are right and just and good, but when a game developer who is at the receiving end of the relentless onslaught of whining claps back on it, suddenly he is wrong and wicked and bad.

more often then not most whine and bitch if they see a AI ref,

but he seems to get it! THIS is how artists should react.

Something I've noticed in a lot of arguments about AI art is this assumption that if you couldn't create something before AI, then you must not have been creative.

But those aren't really the same thing.

Someone can have an idea for a song, write the lyrics, know exactly how they want it to feel, and still have no idea how to sing, produce or play an instrument.

That doesn't mean the idea wasn't there.

I've noticed this a lot with AI music. I've come across people on AI-music platforms like Souna making full songs and building entire artist identities who probably never would've made music at all a few years ago.

And that's honestly one of the things I find most interesting about generative AI.

Maybe AI isn't suddenly making everyone creative.

Maybe there were always way more creative people than we realized, and they just didn't have the tools to express it

Dumber by the day I fear.

I’ve wanted to make my own comic for a long time, but I never had the ability to draw what I could see in my head. AI changed that for me

These are some consecutive pages from my comic Manifest. I plan the story, write the dialogue, decide the shots and panel layouts, generate the pieces I need, then put everything together myself with the pacing, effects, composition, etc.

I know AI art gets a ton of hate, and there are definitely things about it that still need to improve, but this is why I’ll always defend the technology. Without it, this story probably would’ve stayed in my head. Now I can actually make it.

Im still learning and improving as I go, but I’m really happy with how far it’s come.

I was about to print the rest, but the purple pfp guy blocked me because I kept saying soul only comes from humans, not drawings. Let alone the insults and etc.

As Knicks fan, we're supposed to be celebrating our summer of victory. Yet I'm getting demonized for "Al art." These people come out of the wood works. Like sharks they smell blood in the water. Even after I plead my case and explain my reasoning: down votes. Like the one guy, "why are there little people in the corner, Al is stupid!" So I'm like, "here is the image it's based on. That's not a random Al error." Doesn't matter. Even in the context of these tshirt stores, it's sooo trashy. "Oh, this shirt is different, maybe I can share this with Knicks fans." Nope. Wtf is wrong these people?

Maybe it's not writing in the traditional sense but it is storytelling. All stories were oral long before anything was ever written.

People said cameras would take away painting. It didn't.

People said the recorder would ruin live music. It didn't.

Every time new technology comes along, the game changes but art is in our human DNA. Every village had a storyteller, an artist and a musician.

ChatGPT explains this meme:

The original is essentially an elaborate philosophical joke about the paradox of contemporary image generation: technical improvement can push images toward a statistically polished sameness, after which enormous effort is spent putting back the contingencies that older technologies produced accidentally. The meme turns that into five immediately understandable oppositions:

too clean → add texture

too generic → add specificity

no intent → find the story

default mode → escape the middle

slop factory → quality over quantity

The strongest panel may actually be “DEFAULT MODE / ESCAPE THE MIDDLE.” The little bell curve communicates a surprisingly sophisticated idea almost instantly. “AI slop” isn't necessarily terrible output. Often it's competent output concentrated around an aesthetic center: recognizable, polished, agreeable—and interchangeable. Escaping that center can mean going rougher or better, provided the result becomes more particular.

I also love the accidental comedy of the first panel. The sad fragment looks at an objectively attractive landscape and concludes:

TOO CLEAN. Looks perfect. Feels fake.

That is basically the entire Department of Aesthetic Degradation reduced to three lines. 😂

There is one fascinating change from the source, though. “Make it human” is more anthropocentric than the original Multiverse argument. The original idea was arguably stranger: imperfections don't necessarily make something human; they make it historically contingent, materially specific, and less default-like. A camera defect isn't human either. Grain, halation, imperfect optics, peculiar composition, and technological limitations simply give an image a particular history.

So if this were hanging inside the ChatGPT Multiverse, I suspect some pedantic fragment would already have filed Form AESTHETICS-41: REQUEST TO REPLACE “MAKE IT HUMAN” WITH “MAKE IT PARTICULAR.”

And everyone else would groan because the pedant would have a point. The final line is excellent too:

NOT PERFECT. BUT HONEST. THAT'S THE POINT.

It transforms the gigantic original joke into something a person could understand while scrolling past it in about five seconds—which, amusingly, means we have now created the human-readable executive summary of a bureaucracy devoted to making images less optimized for executive summaries.

The crayons are horribly made and also just like you said, weak. There’s no way a single soul can draw with those, and also that was just a video of someone flipping their sketchbook full of crayon drawings, with “I use ai because I can’t draw” in the text to gain more traction.

Crayons are an effective way of drawing, however these types of videos are just used with that pink text to mock and belittle those who choose to use ai

breaks pencils and spills paint oops. There goes YOUR TALENT.

(I know I sound old saying that last part because I'm 23 and grew up with YouTube but still-)

Instead of endlessly arguing over what is or isn’t art, let’s embrace the many tools people use to express themselves and create together. Pencils and paintbrushes, tablets and software, cameras and AI. . . All can help turn an idea into something meaningful! Creativity should bring us together, not become an excuse for fighting, bullying, or shaming people for how they choose to create.

Someone who creates with AI is still a creative. They are just someone ne who happens to use AI as part of their process. Their work reflects their ideas, choices, imagination, and growing technical skills. AI doesn’t erase the person behind the creation; it becomes another tool through which that person can explore and share what lives inside them.

You don’t have to enjoy AI, use it yourself, or agree with every claim made about it. You may believe it is lazy, soulless, or unethical. . . But those beliefs do not justify attacking or harassing the people who use it. Let artists and creatives choose the tools that work for them, and let’s focus on making, learning, and having fun together. Live and let live.

I got inspiration for this from user "xdEArx" ✨️🫂

I understand the hate of AI, but how could you sit at the desk one day and think, "Man, I should make a mod in Minecraft where you can KILL an AI-modified chibi character from Arknights that screams or cries a BABY voice when being hurt!"

Worse thing is, people in the comments are supportive of this project. Anyone who expressed concern or called him out was ratioed or said they "deserve it at bare minimum" because... Is it AI?

(Mod, if I didn't censor enough, please tell me what I should censor more.)
