All AI content that has been (and will be put up on Time Map 2003 in the future*) was created several years ago when I didn’t realize exactly how horrible the technology was. At the time, I just thought that it was bad because artistically, everything was just wonky as heck. For example, everyone has always talked about how bad AI is at rendering hands. To see for myself, I put an image of two hands, palms up, into the generator and got results like this:
But now I realize that there are so many other reasons why ai is terrible. It wastes a ton of energy, ai created art steals from real artists, and the information it spits out at people is unreliable and misleading.
And it’s getting more frustrating by the day to travel around the world wide web trying to this nonsense. You can’t search for things on Google without the first results being a not always accurate AI summary, it’s all over Facebook, and Pinterest is being overtaken by AI slop content. It feels like 80% of recipe pictures in my timeline are AI generated.
