It's almost as if neither "ai can do everything for me" nor the ai witch hunting are healthy approaches, but, as always, people keep polarizing themselves to hate on the opposite tribe.
I'm so fucking tired of this bullshit...
I would much rather have content made with vision by a small AI augmented team than no content because of a lack of funding or ability. I’m great at programming, but I’m no fucking artist. AI makes it possible for people on either side to deliver a unified end-to-end vision. This hate of anything AI is misdirected. Hate the shitty companies, not the technology. Idiots sound like the anti-calculator folks.
The problem is that there is no way of knowing (at first sight) if there was an earnest attempt. AI has a certain look to it, and that look has been associated with slop and shortcuts because of unbridled use of an imperfect technology. It makes sense that it would illicit a sense of revulsion. Also, people who lack the skills or time necessary to create a certain type of art are more likely to lack the ability or patience to properly judge the quality of that art. "Good enough" is rarely good enough.
Man there's no way to know that someone made an Earnest attempt with traditional art either they could have just been tracing, stealing or repackaging.
If you require proof of every little thing up front before you judge it, then you don't get to enjoy anything.
At some point you have to trust people at their word or you just don't get to have fun.
That's just unfortunately how society the real world and reality works.
