This is a comic about AI art.
Gosh, The Oatmeal was one of my favorite cartoonists back then™️. Then I stopped using an RSS Reader, and the bookmark was lost in a pile of bookmark folders.
And now, reading this comic of his reminded me why I love his style: because he sometimes has genuine takes on things, like in this take on AI!
I tried AI Art back then, when it was new, but after a few weeks of enthusiasm, I realized it was just the technology I found interesting, not the result.
AI Images are called slop because they are missing the soul and the intention of human minds.
There recently was a video by a German YouTuber called "Ultralativ" on this topic that described it best for me. He coined the phrase "It's good enough for you" ("Für euch reicht's"). And yes, that's it; it's called slop for a reason. People creating Ai Images and Videos do not value you, they are imposters out for a quick buck, knowing that we, the consumer, will swallow and consume it.
Maybe I will elaborate on this in a separate article.
Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.
The creative industry is facing a systemic collapse as generative AI replaces human illustrators and writers with cheaper, automated substitutes.
The article outlines how professional artists are losing long-term clients and seeing their wages plummet while tech companies profit from their scraped work.
It is a sobering look at why the current AI gold rush might be destroying the very culture it seeks to mimic and why protecting human labor matters now.
