Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I spent hours Photoshopping Elon Musk's face onto Scarlett O'Hara (took so long because I made myself do it with Gimp 3). If I could have done it with AI, the results would likely have been better and that time wasted making a meme is something I won't ever get back.
It's not wasted completely time... you gained Gimp skills
Now... put on the mask and ballgag, we have work to do!
Id take the terrible photoshop meme over the AI slop meme any day. 1 takes effort the other wastes electricity
The result would've been worthless trash because that's all ai is.
Thank you for not contributing to the decay of artistic ability and creativity by actually taking the time to do it yourself. I'd rather a mountain of human made low effort shit over even one "good" generative "art". Plagiarism machines can all die now
So an image created by an AI bad because it was created by an AI? Regardless of the the content?
How about an image created by an AI and then worked on by a human?
If your process is to have a plagiarism machines output crap, and then you work on top of that, that's your fucking choice. I wouldn't do it, but to each their own.
I took a digital photo of Musk off of Google and cut/pasted it onto a frame grab from Gone with the Wind.
I hand crafted the plagiarism using plagiarism.
This is it. AI is a tool just like anything else. Before AI people would complain that a photo was ‘shopped and before that it was that the models in magazines were airbrushed.
All of these are tools that are at an artist’s fingertips and a good artist can do something great with if they put the time into it.
Yes, lazy people can create crap with it if they want but you really can’t be blaming the tool for what stupid humans do with it.
Output from generative AI is always garbage?
