>Good AI art takes time and effort and taste and usually some amount of traditional skills. Sure. But I think it's more than safe to say, that the rotten barrel of rotten apples easily makes the 1-2 "high effort AI art" apples rotten as well. If the entire internet wasn't flooded with slop, it'd be harder to argue that AI is a slop generator. But well... the proof is in the pudding. >There is room for all of it The flood of slop begs to differ. I'm used to needing to wade through lakes of horrible low quality crap to find gems I seek. But the friction needed is immense. If that kind of effort is needed to traverse social media, the reaction will not be tame. >I'm sick of having to skulk around in the shadows with the things I've made for fear of tripping some Shrill Cancel Protocol. Then you should be as angry at the slop generators as the anti-AI crowd. You're affected by it too, after all. >And if you're worried about your traditional art job, organize That is the only shining light as of late. Lot more news of game studios actually unionizing. Better late than never. >AI isn't the problem. Nope, not primarily. It's who wields them and stands to beneit. Which of course is the wealthy owners. It's always the wealthy owners.
