Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

are you an artist because you framed a photo while shooting it?

Point being that if you're going to call photographers creative, then prompting is arguably just as creative

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

No it absolutely isn't, and this hot take marks you as someone very obviously completely ignorant of photography.

At its very best, slop creation is art direction. And most of it doesn't even reach that level of artistry.

It's slop. Pure and simple. Anybody calling it art is an ignorant jackass.

No but this was the exact criticism levelled by painters against photographers when cameras became more widespread. It's absolutely a valid argument.

This sounds like no true scotsman. Because I think AI prompting can take just as much creativity as shooting a photo, I must not be a true photographer...

How do you measure creativity so that we can decide if using AI is creative or not? And no, you can't just claim "creativity = not using AI", since that would create a circular argument

Why is a slop-monger even in a group literally called "Fuck AI"?!

Piss off, sea lion.

So you can't come up with a valid argument so you just resort to name calling? Please, you don't speak for the community
