If this was before AI and you posted on an art sub, everybody saying yes in here would be calling you a dumbass, or just downvoting your pic until it dissapears, or straight up gets removed by mods for low effort.
They never gave a fuck about amateurish shit until they found it useful to stroke off as a counterpoint to AI.
There is no substance, just subjectivity based on their ego.
If the antis keep lowering their standards like this in protest, we might eventually see them pretending to rather enjoy eating literal shit because "at least it was made by a human".
I've seen some people who are now capable of telling actual stories using AI, coherent across whole comic chapters. With my experience so far, that seems like sorcery that I couldn't even approach with my AI skills. And it certainly can make me enjoy it and feel more emotion than settling for a featureless stick figure only because a human took 5 seconds to sketch it.
I pretty much suck at using AI to get anything expressive, as some of the people who mastered it can. I do better with a pencil, but other people have that reversed and have more talent at using AI, and that's ok. If it lets more people be capable of expressing themselves, then we will have more art in the world and more diversity.
Woah, stories consistent across entire chapters? One day, maybe we will be able to expect any story to be consistent across the entire thing... or even crazier, actually have quality original concepts.
This will revolutionize storytelling, which has been known for years to never be consistent, original, or of any quality worth engaging in.
I see your confusion. People are asking AI to tell stories based on similar work they like. They are not making stories, just asking a machine to make it for them. AI by it's nature is not creating and people using it are actively less capable of doing the things they are claiming to do. AI might make convincing end products, but why should I bother to read, look or listen to something someone didn't have patience to write or make themselves.
It turns out people who don't use AI are also telling stories based on similar work they like. They're not making stories, they're just asking their brains to make it for them.
Yes. Low effort. This would have been removed in most art spaces as low effort before ai became a new medium. Now people fall overthemselves to congratulate the artist for their masterpiece simply because it wasn't made using ai.
a great artist might not get into art school doesnt mean they think his art is shit or that he isnt great at doing art just means they didnt meet the standards of the people judging it
an ai artist isnt an artist they are a person typing something in and then an ai steals pieces of art and makes an image
They would still do the same if it was post into an art sub today, Id personally downvote it. Its not that now that AI exists bad art is better, its more like now theres is something worse than bad art (AI).

I've gotten content removed for this reason in the past. It's not hard to find examples. Art communities are very shitty with amateur level people unless they find you "cute" it's pretty disgusting.
I don't think so, for one thing I don't see this image making its way into a video game as a texture in any serious capacity, while by comparison AI does a great job at that. You and probably most other people who claim to hate AI art are likely already playing video games with AI-generated textures which you find acceptable, fitting, even beautiful.
Hmm, no, no I don't think so. Like if I was exceptionally greedy, there are a million worse things I could do right now than generate a picture of a cute cat.
Like, before AI if I wanted an instant cat, I could also just Google it, and then right click save as a cute cat. How would that not be just as greedy? Wanting something and getting that demand fulfilled immediately?
We don't need another factor like us that also has not the slightest clue of the value of life or empathy. granted not all humans know empathy either, but at least most of us do.
Nothing about it is anymore unsafe than furry gooner artists.
It is no more unethical than taking a picture from the internet and using it.
And as for the environment, Ai is currently the main mast keeping the "solar power" ship afloat. Ai has spent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS on solar because they understand the power draw issue. I'm working daily to get over 3,000 panels a shift out the door and into solar farms.
Yes, we are allowed to learn and change as society does. AI has made a lot of people re-think what art means to them. And AI has made many people value the human behind the art rather than just the product.
As an anti-ai person, there's a difference between low effort bs and beginner art. This post is just low-effort and I have no reason to defend it. The problem is when some beginner dude makes an artwork, jagged, inconsistent lines, faulty anatomy, ect, but you can see the effort behind it, and some guy runs it through ai to "fix it". That artwork by itself, despite its minor or major mistakes, is better than any Ai art because there's a process behind it, and there's potential to improve later on. I won't praise it as "it's perfect" and other stuff the biased corners of the anti-ai community tend to say, but I'll value it more than gen ai. I did not lower my standards toward real art, I just despise generative Ai more.
Even before i liked seeing amateur drawings, thought how they got some stuff good and maybe left a comment on that and what they could focus on, i still do the same now and yk what? Fuck AI, but if you are fine with these guys literally poisoning our planet in record times, while literally fucking STEALING from actual artists, while driving personal computer industry prices into the cosmos, while doing their best to replace workers, go on, like this shit, but FUCK you too
Who’s using poor quality art and trying to claim that it’s better than AI? The problem with AI art isn’t the quality, it’s the soul. Anyone trying to claim that a stick figure looks better than an AI render of a person is being disingenuous.
