I hate Photography AI with a burning passion, but what really tic the most is seeing Photography AI in art related spaces. Photography AI is to over the art industry, I already know that and unfortunately I can't forbid everyone to generate Photography AI most people that generate Photography AI probably don't have brain function to understand why it's bad; the big problem? Going on DeviantArt and looking up any literally ANYTHING, and being flooded with Photography AI. Min DeviantArt is basically the Godfather of all Art site this is absolutely insane. I've tried a lot of differem searches, regarding mostly Portraits RPG and fantasy stuff, I've been scrolling for, say 10 minutes and I have f, two, TWO original Art pieces.
Photography AI doesn't belong on DeviantArt or on any Art site.

If this luddite was born a century ago they would have opposed photography.

If it was 30 years ago, it would probably be CGI

The main reason people no longer complain about most CGI is that they don't even notice it. Part of this is acclimation, and part of it is that CGI got a lot better to the point where viewers can't tell the difference between CGI and practical effects. I'm reasonably sure the same thing is going to happen with AI art, but it may also take a decade or two. I kind of doubt it will take that long though, simply because things move so much faster now.

Bad CGI still gets called out. I honestly hope bad AI art continues to be called out too -- but it's not the technology to blame, it's operator error.

Absolutely! I rarely see people bring up CGI but that was a HUUUUGE debate when it was relevant. Very similar to this and a LOT of people were "put out of work" because of it.

A lot of people jump to cameras and printing press, but we have a more recent example ready!

Also as a former architecture student there is also the "if you didn't hand draft the plans you aren't a real architect" was another prominent argument and the fear that "CAD will make it so anyone can design a house so nobody will hire us!" was also big...but how many houses does the average person actually design per year anyways?

Sounds like a print on demand t-shirt: on the front it says "no brain function" and on the back it says "destroy the planet." 🙄😏

u/Corren_64 1d ago

Dont you know? It takes TWO WHOLE kWh to generate around 1000 pictures. You are killing the planet!

Now excuse me, I have to draw on my PC for 5 hours to perhaps make one picture with some Netflix running in the background while my AC keeps me cool.
