Consumers have, overall, rejected AI "art".

But of course, every time consumers voice their preferences is actually "a loud minority" or an "echo chamber" :)

Not that different, just formulated in a tamer way.

> I'm not. What am I doing wrong? Should I be on TikTok more? LinkedIn?

You're not? You don't have to wade through mountains of grifters and "hot-takes" in your social media of choice? Or through a hundred garbage sites gaming SEO every time you need to search for something online? Or through the never ending catalogue of low effort drama in streaming sites?

If so I'm sure you realize yours is not the average experience on the internet.

There's an obsession here with replying with half baked analogies that I really don't see the point of. Is this an attempt at a thought-terminating-cliché? 1. People mostly hang their own photos. 2. People mostly go to museums because they expect a certain level of quality (i.e. they're offloading the curation to... curators) 3. Photography is it's own medium, generative ai is a "tool". Apple to oranges comparison.

There's nothing about the analogy that works, what is your point here?

There's no "good" or "bad" about it. Everyone is just wading through mountains of slop (man-made or ai made) and need a way to filter what's actually worth investing time and attention to. Effort, or percieved effort at least, is a good enough measure for most people. If 99% of ai generated "art" is low-effort garbage, why would people give the benefit of the doubt to the other 1%? What would they gain from it?
God forbid a professional cares about his job!

What does "getting with the times even mean" at this point? Just bending over and taking on all the griefing and bullying?

Btw luddites are the reason you're not slaving away at a factory.

Really sad to reduce ourselves to meat-proxies.
The comment seems in line with real life, while your catchphrase about democratization is more like wishful thinking.

A bit concerning how some people in this thread will bend over backwards to defend mass surveillance. Not surprising given who owns the board, but still.

If you see art only as more "content" to be mindlessly consumed, maybe.

"How much value can this bring?" Is the question that the incompetents at microslop needed to ask themselves before absorbing half the industry, not the smug justification for killing great tech after failing to capitalize on it. Specially when it brought great value to the industry for decades.

I'd say people who have the lived experience of, well, living, are well aware that the brain is much more than just a token predictor.

Which are valid arguments in your opinion?
