Fuckin’ SSSLLAAmmMMMMmEeeDddd, dude!
Like a trashcan lid to the head!
How will they survive such a thorough slamming?
I can’t wait until we are on the other side of the slammed. I am sure it will be replaced by an equally annoying word choice.
NEWS SITE CLAMWHOLLOPED FOR USING OLD, ANNOYING VERB
Always downvote slammed articles
@pregnenolone has been Slamming slammed articles!
SLAMMMED!
I hate this trend of saying “SLAMMED”, or “HOUNDED”, or “ATTACKED” etc in news articles where the stories are just “a couple of people with a dozen followers between them posted slightly negative tweets about topic xyz”.
My parents were bitching about how Adele was “HAMMERED” online because she said “I am proud to be a woman” or something. Turns out it was just two complete nobodies tweeting about how that’s trans exclusionary or something with 1 heart each.
It’s just so they can still write an article even though nothing really happened

I can’t hear this without hearing the Spaceballs theme
Gosh, I pray they’re not using Photoshop as well! Won’t someone think of the children??

The art and images that image AI’s are based off of, are stolen. They diffuse them as a legal loop hole. That’s the main issue. I want to see AI pushed forward, but not when they’re scraping data and not crediting artists. The amount of data required for an image AI is crazy; we have to figure out a way of legally and respectfully requiring that data.
Text AI’s are marginally better, because a lot of the data acquired was opt in. It was just people talking. There is the issue with them ripping books, though.

It’s tone deaf as fuck. From the article: “If you can’t hire an artist to do advertising, I highly doubt you’ll do it with independent developers.”
This is the only point that matters. Even if AI is here to stay, that’s fine, you just don’t use it when specifically highlighting the demographic most threatened by its usage. The post was just a bad business decision; they should have known how it could come across. It’s their job to know that kinda stuff before hitting Post.
If an independent developer is threatened by AI, then they’re using it wrong.
From a development standpoint, it is so nice if you are someone who is good at coding but bad at art to be able to use AI to help with the visual design of the game. It’s easy to say “just hire an artist” when so many indie devs are literally one-person operations who can barely afford rent, let alone wages for an artist.
A billion dollar company…
They also saw a problem since they deleted it
They have their own Bing Image Creator. Obviously they’d prefer to use their own tool instead of hiring artists. Everyone with two working brain cells saw this coming. (I’m not defending it, it was just obvious the day Bing Image Creator was launched.)
This is why we need a rule that if you incorporate your logo into AI art, your logo becomes public domain.
Because… why?
I’m guessing so the maintainers of the AI don’t have to worry about copyright when it uses the logo somewhere unexpected. But I’m curious what OP says.
“Energy intensive art” lol
Just as much love as Microsoft shows the rest of Xbox
AI art is always so immediately obvious. I understand the temptation. Oh wow, I can jazz up this throw-away post that no one really cares about.
But everyone that sees that post immediately notes oh its ai art again. Because our brains are picking up on all the details. So it kind of defeats and distracts from the point.
There might be ways of encorporating ai generated images into things, but it’s not gonna be by just generating an image with a prompt and running with that as your main graphic.
I guarantee you’ve seen AI generated images that you didn’t know were AI. It’s survivorship bias, you’re only seeing the ones that are bad as immediately AI.
it’s ironic, since AI generated always looks polished - but the identification is mostly context-based i.e. we know nobody would pay anyone for making that illustration from scratch: because it’s a throw-away
illustrations will be ubiquitous but mostly shit, only the shit will be more polished
so if an illustration is highly polished but otherwise garbage, it’s AI with high probability - because the craftsmanship of the generator exceeds the artistic taste and development of the user
