There&#39;s a thread blowing up over on the bird site where someone posted what they say is an AI generated painting in the style of Monet, and people absolutely ripped it apart, quickly identifying everything wrong with it. The troll plot twist: it&#39;s actually a real Monet painting. You can go see it in the Neue Pinakothek museum in Munich (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nympheas_71293_3.jpg). I&#39;m a strong no on AI art, but I think this thread says a lot more about people than it does about AI art. https://twitter.com/SHL0MS/status/2054280631807316329

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place the concern shouldn't be how an "AI" generated thing looks, but the fact that it's "AI" generated in the first place. How it looks is only a symptom of the core problem, especially if it's evidently slop.

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place does it say more about people or about ai-generated answers on social networks ? I know these are almost indistinguishable (that’s the point). Just wanted to point out there’s almost no value nowadays to “anonymous” content. We urgently need a reputation system and an algorithm-free social network that will let us filter out zero-value posts, for some definition of “value”. I read your posts but I almost never read any answer because I have no idea if a human was involved.

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place From one extremism, another stems: we see that pretty much everywhere in life. Once we gain unbalance towards one side, it is unfortunately natural to provoke a reaction that is exaggerated towards the other side.

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place Sounds like the issue isn't with those who pointed out the non-existent "errors" but that AI makes even real art suspect, AI is the common enemy to art regardless of source. It's a nice troll but it makes a fool of the troll too.
