I hate how lemmy is starting to get flooded with generative AI pics. It’s the “lol, so random!”-meme of the current age, but with even less artistic/comedic value.
Edit: typo
I personally exclusively use it to generate photos of products I wish were real, and then get angry that I can’t buy them
What’s the most recent product you’ve been wanting?
A retrofuture 90s inspired portable speaker dock
That’s actually pretty sick
Ikr. The phone was supposed to be the screen in the middle (docked), but I couldn’t figure out how to tell that to the AI so it kept adding the extra phone plugged in via (very odd) cables.
OK. I am angry.
Realistic Lego human anatomy
So cursed, just in time for Halloween
My gf actually showed me it and was raving on how we have to get it that I almost didn’t have the heart to tell her not a word on the package beyond ‘Lego’ was real

And if we have an opinion on it,we comment. What’s your point?

You’re overestimating how much thought people put into their votes. It is literally costing them nothing.
You say that because you are old. Next you will also say something like “the important think is to be young in the heart/head”.
I say that because AI is creatively bankrupt.
And so is OP, if they think this is creative.
It’s just digitized monkeys throwing digitized shit at the wall. As in, that’s pretty much exactly how ML training works.
I don’t think that’s true. It’s just another tool. Using it to get a good result takes more skill, practice, and patience than using it to get an okay result.
That’s not to say it is equivalent in terms of skill required to oil paint, for example. But it really does stink of being obstinately against change for no reason other than it being change.
I imagine similar complaints were made when photoshop first started to rise in popularity and use.
I agree: it is a tool. And maybe you might at some point be able to create something worthwhile with it. But I’ve yet to see something wwrthwhile.
The main way “generative AI” is currently being used is by giving some idea some kind of form. If the original idea is just lame, or has been done to death (like a pixar poster of insert any atocricy here) : it will show.
If you think that AI is a shortcut to replace a creative idea, you will not be able to get any art from it.
You can also see that in the weird AI bro behavior, when they refuse to share their prompts: In any traditional art project people are glad to share their techniques. But AI bros realize that there’s so little effort involved that they are overly protective of their prompts so that people may not find out how low effort their “creativite” process actually is.
Stop being so dramatic and conspiratorial. The pushback is because it sucks. AI can’t be genuinely creative.
Conspiratorial? What?
Large Language Models cannot be genuinely creative; I agree. The people using them can. Why is that disagreeable?
The pushback against AI is not because artists are in a conspiracy to block progress.
@Risk @Prunebutt, the risk is when we lose our own capabilities and intelligence, becoming dependent on AI. This has already happened with previous technologies. Who still has the handwriting of our grandparents with the introduction of the keyboard and word processors? Who can still do simple sums mentally for purchases at the supermarket, without using a calculator? With the introduction of smartphones, our lives have become completely dependent on these gossips in practically every aspect, social as well as professional.
Seeing this evolution, I always think of the humans in the movie Wall-e as the end result of this path. It is not that AI is going to fight and subjugate humanity, it does not need to do so, since we subordinate ourselves to it voluntarily, even today we would be unable to survive a week without our technology.
It happens when we start using tools, not for what they are, but as crutches for our own inability and intelligence, instead of using them for our own development.
Speaking as an elder millenial/junior middle aged man: ouch, my back hurts!
That’s agist and stupid. The idea is valid or not, the person who said it is irrelevant.
I still believe generation beta humor will be AIs posting random stuff and everyone laughing and no one admits they don’t get it.

I am all for it I love surreal, confusing, meaningless, and crazy humor.
That’s not humor, that’s just very sad collective sycophancy.
Boyfriend is not paying attention to his 3 armed, 6 fingered girlfriend who is groping his ass, because he is distracted by a blueberry pancake dough dispenser?
Relatable, it’s it?
Oh he’s paying attention, look at that 3rd leg 😏
Laughing yet?

Instead of a chef homemade cooked food, he prefers a robot cooked food. It’s not that difficult to get the idea.
I’m only counting 5 fingers, robots already amputated one.
The thumb would be under the cooking board, but I am aware some people say thumbs aren’t fingers.
I know I was. But to be fair to me, I haven’t had food yet today. So a blueberry pancake dough dispenser is just what I want.
Can it though? Sure doesn’t look like it to me, this is shit.
I don’t understand this take. Yeah, it’s shitty as fuck right now, but if you’ve been paying attention at all you’d understand how fast things are moving. It sucks today, sure, but in 6 months? A year? 5 years?
Anyway in my opinion we really fucked up with this AI thing.
The deal is that AI is only good at remixing what’s already done. AI is never gonna be able to make an artistic desicion or create a new thing. What AI is good for is menial tasks like making ground textures and it still fucks it up.
What evidence do you have that human creativity is anything other than remixing?
AI is only good at remixing what’s already done
That’s what memes are.
It might be shit now, that’s true for every new tech at its infancy. Let it cook for a while.
I’ve been messing with Stable Diffusion and LLaMA this whole year and it’s really fun stuff.
Just dont look at the eyes… Or the hands… Or the arms… Or the legs…
Or really all of it
These images always look so fucking creepy…
I think because they are in the uncanny valley
I for one worship our human overlords.
Why? Did we do something I don’t know about? I’m never invited when we do anything good…
I invented a kind of dryed meat sushi. But not exactly that.
used long grain rice and canned tuna to make a patty. it was only done once but i’ve been meaning to do it again. cooking tuna is problematic
Add an egg, some quinoa and bread crust for consistance.
It’s funny how people here take memes really seriously and are offended that an AI could, in the future, create shitty memes.
I’d date a three-armed chef chick built by an AI.
I just started reading the Culture series by Iain M. Banks, I shudder to think this is how it started.
In a 1000 years, the robots that take over after us will think this is really funny.
The cropping is way to good for memes.
Aliens!
This meme is from a parallel dimension
I guess AI models’ tendencies for random extra limbs makes them suited for falling devil illustrations
