I can get an AI to generate some code for me. Now I'm a programmer despite never having done code in my life, nor do I understand the first thing about what goes into coding.

Oh, or how about I get it to generate law stuff for me and I call myself a lawyer?

Generating papers on medical or psychology stuff and now I'm practically a doctor or a psychologist.

The way I see it, AI can be a useful tool that can help optimizing processes, but to use them as a replacement of real work and effort is a mistake at best and incredibly lazy and delusional at worst.

AI artists don't exist, the AI is the "artist". You're the proverbial "ideas guy" that can't do anything themself and can't even come up with a style that doesn't exist already so the AI can copy it. You're heating up a factory-made frozen pizza and calling yourself a chef.

They're about as much of an artist as the dude that operates the wave machine at the water park is Poseidon.

Memes like this wants me to use the word "Reddit" like a slur...

I don't get the joke. Is it that the person on the right thinks they're an artist?

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Just people too lazy to learn a skill who want to flip the narrative. A bit like when you copy/paste a command grabbed online in a linux terminal and then feel like "a programmer" when the system do the thing it was built to.

I took it to mean that even when someone has a valid reason for disliking something, there is a neutral, rational, and off-putting way to express it, and that in this case it’s being applied to AI “art”. Maybe I’m just reading too much into it.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago

Then there would be the same argument displayed in two different ways and not two different arguments displayed.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Finally someone that understands

what art is about.

Gatekeeping, ofc.

[–] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Oh, I'm sure that you write those prompts super artistically. I wasn't intending to gatekeep.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 3 points 5 days ago

I don't. I'm no artist. I've seen very intricate ComfyUI setups that get pretty wild results run locally, though, which does make me wonder about merit.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is there actually a point talking to Ai bros about Ai? Its their entire grift after all. Same with Religion, Flat Earth.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes. You're not leaving their bullshit standing out in the wild for itself and offer other readers who are not yet drifted into total madness a counterpoint.

It's never about the person you argue with, it's about the audience.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

So we have to ~~combat~~ confront them wherever we can?

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Yes. However, please remember that "wherever we can" does not mean "wherever someone publicly makes a statement that necessitates a rebuttal" but rather "wherever someone publicly makes a statement that necessitates a rebuttal and one has the time and energy to spare for an appropriate dispute"

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

This. Especially important these days, where people can literally throw money at even this social problem to buy an armada of LLMs to manipulate public opinion. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. are dead platforms for that reason, there's no reason to engage in any debate or really anything anymore. Best to just state the facts when public people say bullshit again and then go on, muting any reply.

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

It be like that all the time. Instead of embracing chance people attack change. Until the wake up call happens and they realize that all art is AI. Every single piece of Art created was done by AI. The government has been keeping this a secret for centuries. The computer chips in our heads tell us what art to make and how to make it.

This is why I have an old school medieval helmet I wear everywhere. Except the airport, I won’t make that mistake a fifth time.

Oh boy you really poked the bees nest with this one 😂

[–] dangling_cat@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

There is a tool called ComfyUI, which is THE tool for audio/video/image generation, and it looks just like the node editor for creating shaders. So there is some kind of skill and artistic choice involved for sure.
