What is much more dangerous is not the ai slop we can see or recognise, but how easy it is to pull off good artwork using theft + ai. You are now seeing on a massive scale people taking images of other original artists, usually small unknown artists and then feeding that image through and prompting on top of that. Then claiming it as your own. I now fully realise I cannot trust anything without further looking into someone and their methods.

I dunno what to think. I assume Lemmy will either throw the worst at me or blindly give me praise.

I was talking with a guy today, told me my designs were "awful". To be fair, at the time he didn't know the designs he was critiquing were my handiwork and there were extenuating circumstances such that the designs were by committee so I did some things that no man should ever do or see or be told to do ... it was only because I had to.

Long story short, he starts talking about his designs, seemed to be looking for praise. He pulled out his phone to show me and ya'll ... they were AI. I even asked, did you use AI for that, and he was like "Obviously". Yes, of course, obviously. That's why I asked.

Using AI to sell a product is false advertising.

Fake food on commercials and menus are another example, it's everywhere in the USA because our laws are written by McDonald's ^tm^ and other political "donors".

you go to the fair or a street fest and 98% of stands have AI generated pictures of food... like idk what you're advertising but it's not whatever you're gonna sell me so why would i take my chances?

On aliexpress, it says that the pic and description are AI generated, so they're not responsible for the product. hmmm.

My local bar in a small rural village is currently advertising an event with crappy AI posters. I can't fault them, since "everyone" is doing it, but it's awfal taste. The alternative would've been a chalkboard on the curb.

Wish it was like this. But this is just cope.
