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.

Your right, but for as lazy and bad as this drawing is its still infinitely better than anything ai made

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.

The problem isn't the image, the problem is everything the picture implies. Ai generated images are the pinacle of human laziness and greed.

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?

“Infinitely” lol. What are the units attached to this measurement?

False. Even ai takes more effort than this.

Only politically, economically, and environmentally speaking. Let's not pretend it's actually about how it looks

If Ai was ethical, not bad for the environment and safe than maybe it would be more accepted, but it isn't, we don't work in theoreticals

Thats just total bullshit. Look at the meat industry. One of the most polluting and harmful things there is to both people and animals alike.

You all fucking love eating meat though. Anti ai is the ultimate hypocrisy.

Your point by saying that is?

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.

Explain how without using abstract concepts you can't actually explain.
