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.

You don't need AI to generate hack art. Corporate Memphis aesthetic has been around for ages precisely because its cheap, hacky clip-art you can apply to ad copy in order to give it a hint of life without spending much money.
These AI models make the new art comparatively dirt cheap (if you ignore all the negative external costs) without relying on the even more cheap and bland techniques of the past. It's absolutely "better" relative to what's come before.
This applies so much in so many different areas of society that we should have a Unicode character that’s like an asterisk but this is the only caveat that it represents.
I agree, why?
Memphis is in Tennessee or Egypt.
That’s fair, we’re both shithole states
