    AI is better at volume, speed, and the details are often good enough to fool people into believing it’s real. That, by definition, is not slop. Abundance and a lack of quality defines “slop” but if we’re discussing the quality of art, that becomes subjective almost immediately. Yes you can point to 7 fingered hands and I can just as easily point to a beautiful landscape that’s never existed.

    I’m not even sure you can call it cheap when yet another argument posed by AI hysterics is that it’s so expensive the servers that are being water cooled are actively accelerating climate change.

    AI is being used to perpetuate what was already happening, more efficiently. Yes, it’s much easier to generate decent or even good assets to wallpaper over actual slop. It’s the makeup of choice to masquerade the modern con artist, to that I don’t disagree.

    But to fault a tool for being attractive to those which use it nefariously isn’t just a misunderstanding, it’s the peak of ignorance.

      You have a profoundly different definition of that word, then. As always, it is purely aesthetics with you people.

      I’m not even sure you can call it cheap

      You know that factories, those things that make your doritos and your mcdonalds soda straws, are really expensive buidlings, right? By gosh, how can a single bag of chips ahoy cost $3.49, then? We’ll never know.

      Cigarettes are a tool. Maybe your grandpa shouldn’t have smoked so many—he might still be alive.

        My grandfather actually died of stomach cancer from chewing tobacco. Go fuck yourself you luddite prick.
