As a graphic designer, I’ve LITERALLY had to add “AI conversion” to my resume
GuggelPlayer
As artist I hate AI and the usage of it, I do understand it can have some benefits but the cost is too high and not worth it to take away actual work from talented people

Recently "lost" a graphic design contract to AI - Client cancelled the contract and posted the slop to their SocMed. I saw it and reached out. "Hah! My 16yo nephew whipped it up in like 5 minutes on his phone! We have over 1000 pre-orders already. Why would I pay you?"
Well, for a start, I would have put the decimal place in the right spot, and you wouldn't be selling your product at 1% of the intended price... Good luck!"
AlaeronCW
funny if true. Also nice of you to tell them.
Deshalope
I am reasonably sure the pre-order process doesn't involve just the graphic alone, but it's a funny story.
ePluribus
It's a small self-run business and the pre-order process they came up with was "Send us an email, and you're on the list."
While they can obviously let those who placed orders know there was a mistake, there are Advertising Standards laws in play that mean he will still have to honour those orders at the price stated.
Yes, he pulled the graphic as soon as he was told, but it is still going to cost him big-time for the pre-orders accepted before he closed the deal off in a panic.
AgamemnonsMemes
At least, the ones you can TELL are AI.. Its getting better and better every day, you'll miss more than you spot soon enough
HighSorcerer
Just because it's getting better doesn't mean it'll ever be good.
AgamemnonsMemes
Good as in moral or good as in indistinguishable from non-AI? Because it is already getting pretty close, it won't be long before you can't spot AI at all anymore.

I recently went to an elementary school and noticed that they used AI for their mascot .

He toad you so!
Broken08
As a guy who has been using Photoshop since around 1998... I have mixed feelings: I use both ai and skills. For an ordinary person, ai makes things easy, but at the same time it has basically rendered graphic design and web design careers obsolete. Or at least 75% of them.
Xenarion
I remember when digital started becoming a more common thing, people said the same things that's being said about Gen AI now: "It's a computer doing all the work." "It's not real art." "It's gonna take real artist's jobs" "It has no soul." etc.

My DM used an AI generated image to represent a well-known character from D&D lore for one of our sessions. There's plenty of art of her too
psmith00
some do, some don't. you're just protesting the ones that look bad.

StillScreamingIntoTheVoid
I'm trying to figure out how to tell my work I dislike my likeness being used in ai slop images they've started using to advertise work events. Unfortunately we have way too many "if I'm not bothered by it then I can keep doing it" people at work, and saying something may just escalate the issue. I guess I just keep my head down until I find something else.
MirroredImage
On the other hand, if no one says anything they can also keep doing it. It's unlikely that it's only you in that entire workplace that's bothered, and you're allowed to dislike the use of your own face
GermanGuy79
AI is essentially just Googling, only a thousand times faster than before. Nothing more. AI feeds on itself and ultimately degrades the quality of content. We need to realize that AI does not replace humans. In science, there are good examples of AI discovering things, that had previously gone unnoticed. In astronomy AI can "see" faster than humans, and so on. Unfortunately, cat photos are hardly the ultimate application for AI.
OldNternetWizard43
Hey guess what? If we weren't forcing everyone to do bullshit inessential work no one even needs to do, science would be way further along than AI could ever take it.
It would help if you just did the shit indigenous people asked also, but just not doing stupid crap no one needs to could replace everything you want AI to do better than humans
GermanGuy79
Yes, you are right. We already saw this happen during the coronavirus pandemic. Without demand, oil is worthless. If we forgo what we don’t need, supply chains collapse. Were it not for the US military, NASA could send a probe to Mars every 33 hours and do so for all eternity. The most valuable companies neither sell nor produce anything; instead, they hoard all our data and endless so on.
GermanGuy79
Technology should advance humanity, yet those who control the money prevent this because they can never get enough.
Oatmealman1
Any imgur user that defends AI can fuck off and go play on tubmlr. You don't belong here.
gluttonygreedpridewrathslothlustenvy
It's indespensible in tech now. Like it or not, you can't get hired if you are not using Agentic AI to code.
MirroredImage
That doesn't make it indispensable, though.
That just harks back to the common sight of a company sinking thousands of dollars pursuit of a vague notion of "AI make line go up," their employees refuse to use it because it slows their work down, those ones get fired for their insolence, and a memo goes out about how you HAVE to use the boss's cool toy or else
Meanwhile, hackers nicely asked insta's support AI to switch the recovery emails on accounts to the hackers' email, and it went and did it
Mistruths
tumblr defends carefully crafted shitposts more than imgur does, by a large margin
AgamemnonsMemes
Hey lets not attack tumblr like that.
MrsHowVeryDareYou
Ah yes, the sign of the intelligent, open minded, caring people we Imgurians believe ourselves to be: Your opinion is wrong and I don’t want it anywhere I can see it.
ChazzK
I'm very, very conflicted on the use of AI. On a CONCEPTUAL level, I don't hate the idea of AI being used on an individual basis, making a D&D character portrait when you don't have the talent to draw / funds to commission for example. Once it starts *spreading*, once companies start using IT over PEOPLE for either artwork or mental work (or *both*) that's when the ick comes in...
And, of course, the fact that they went harder on Data Centers than on anything oil related lately...
Xenarion
That sums up my thoughts too. There's good and bad in it. One good use I saw was a board game that used it as placeholders for their Kickstarter campaign in order to get the funds to hire an artist.
Raikupath
The problem with these algorithms is that they have to steal in order to even function.
Xenarion
"Steal" is very subjective. Humans also learn from doing pattern recognition and reproducing what they see.
ChazzK
I do admit I left off the whole "how they got the database" part of it, woops X_X
DutchBoeremeisie
Does feel a bit like a losing battle. I'm getting increasingly downvoted for pointing out AI (especially text) and I see it appearing on the FP more and more.
I think dumps that include the odd AI image here and there also help to normalise it, but you often get told off especially if it is part of a dump by a popular poster.
robpaschal
There are popular posters? I can't name anyone other than myself here.
Az663
A lot of bots getting released nowadays.
hyptosis
The amount of money going into AI, there is absolutely no way to win. We can make jokes at them, but in one generation everyone will see us as boomers whining about the then current norms.
Niagaran
I feel ya. I get downvoted every single time I call out the use of a still-popular ableist slur (the r-word) on this site. Imgur still loves ableism.
Rogerwilco1974
Never give up calling out the slop, my friend. You may be swimming upstream, but it's still the right thing to do. Don't accept that shit.
MichikoTheJungleFox
Keep up the good work. I'm usually upvoting comments that call out AI unless it's wrong. Like stuff I know for sure isn't AI lol. There's some false positives out there.
To me, there's no reason to include AI even in dumps. Memes don't even need to be high quality so I dunno why AI needs to be involved.
ALTEFFFOUR
That's the reasoning. "Memes don't need to be high quality so who cares if it's AI?" Eventually every meme will be AI :/
Xenarion
Memes are a breeding ground for AI images, considering the previous method was using an image without copyrights.
rusrsdude
Just keep at it. Just remember the work is done as a collective effort between many people.
secularink
This happened to me too.
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
Yeah, the tech billionaires have successfully astroturfed an anti-anti-AI movement. "AI witch hunt, hurr durr! Detectors don't work! You people are so annoying! Why does it even matter! It's a tool like Photoshop! You can't stop progress!" etc. I wonder how many of those accounts are bots. Can't wait for the bubble to burst
draginator
The bubble bursting won't matter when on device AI is a common thing and easy for image gen
Heisanevilgenius
The AI on your devices is powered by hulking data centres that are too expensive to be worth it and as soon as the bubble bursts those things are going to be abandoned
draginator
Not the ones that use the 3090 on my computer, or the basic ones the use the neural processor on my phone
Heisanevilgenius
I doubt generative AI fits all the necessary data on your device in order to run. When you ask it to generate an image it has to compare your prompt to trillions of images on an online database. If you're talking about the predictive feature on your phone that guesses what you're going to type next based on what you typed before, that's a little different.
Ivain
The thing is, many AI detectors do in fact work poorly, because they rely on specific artifacts that are rarer and rarer. Perhaps they work on images because image-generators are keyed to the human eye so there's lots of technical behind-the-scenes stuff that you can pick up, but text-based AI detectors are so full of false positives they may as well not exist.
Shouldn't stop us from picking up the inconsistencies in actual AI slop content though.
FiftyShadesOfTiramisu
It's an arms race for sure. I use six sites at this point, and I know which ones like to give false positives (like sightengine) or negatives (like isgen.ai). But first I look for AI weirdness and inconsistencies myself. I only fire up the AI detectors when I'm already reasonably sure that it's slop.
ToSisPoS
It’s especially fun on Instagram because they will try to brigade you with their own sock puppets
DutchBoeremeisie
The amount of AI on instagram is very sad. Especially "reposters" often use AI to drum up a video description. It is mind numbing.
ToSisPoS
Another new trend is having a cutout of something watching tv and tossing in a clip of whatever popular franchise with a “POV”. The boobs are less and less incentive each day.
LenneSamunai
Bc frankly alot, and i mean A LOT, of ppl don't have a clue when they see AI. Kids or adults.
thricebakedxyz
I asked ai, "Is ai popular for majority of people?" The answer was not favorable.
Mithi
Would be a good idea to include your sources,
DutchBoeremeisie
If by sources you meant examples of where people downvote me for pointing out AI: here you go: /gallery/bx5z45y/comment/2502791919
DutchBoeremeisie
My sources to what?
Lexgeddon
I think they either mean where you've been seeing the AI - link the posts or what-have-you - or, more broadly, point out how you can tell something is AI. Part of the reason AI is becoming normalized is that it can often be difficult for someone to identify it if they don't know what they're looking for. Not everything has extra fingers or toes, or body parts smearing together.
DutchBoeremeisie
Just so happens I made an entire post about it not so long ago. /gallery/GXhYAfZ
Lexgeddon
Boom, saved and faved. I would suggest putting this link in any content you're calling AI, but I'll bet that's gotten you spam reports in the past. There are quite a few people around here who do shoot from the hip.
PonyMadness
Anyone who visits Reddit should check out r/isitAI just to see how realistic it's getting. There's been entire dumps posted here comprised of AI slop but nobody called it out because it was incredibly difficult to tell.
mouthfullofpebbles
Not long ago I reached my threshold of being able to "see" if stuff was AI anymore, so I am extremely grateful to those who can and point it out. I know that I can't escape AI, but when I am given the opportunity to support human made stuff and redact support for machine made, I really want to.
Kimmykix
I've been calling out AI slop on usersub for months now, luckily most of the time I get upvotes, but if I start getting downvoted I'll still keep doing it, cuz I have a LOT of karma to lose anyhow, so I don't care.
Xenarion
Just make sure it's really AI. Lots of artists are getting accused of being AI generated when they're not.
Kimmykix
Oh I know AI when I see it. I've yet to be proven wrong. I've gotten quite well at spotting it luckily.
lizardbones
I have a lot of problems with AI, but i've also seen a lot of artists, particularly newer ones, be falsely accused of using AI and get subsequently harassed off the internet. Especially as AI has gotten better at minimising the egregious mistakes it was obvious for a few years ago, i see more and more people say something is AI because they see a mistake that is just common in newer artists
Xenarion
Hell, even on Imgur, towards artists that posted WIPs and videos of their drawing process.
(Granted, AI will soon be able to do that too)
DutchBoeremeisie
Yes, I did once see a wip video that I'm 100% convinced was AI (mostly because it was a recording of the digital drawing pad's screen, so basically just an animation of the drawing being created - and it looked hella AI.)
DutchBoeremeisie
Yeah, I had an interaction with someone yesterday on Imgur about that - they kept yelling "AI" because the hands and perspective looked "off" to them. I pointed out that these are literally areas where real artists struggle. Nevermind that the image didn't even *look* like AI, or that it was from October 2023 (when it literally wouldn't have been possible to make it with AI). They deleted their original comment and thus the interaction (or perhaps blocked me - either way, it's not there anymore)
DrunkGermanGuy
The interaction is still there. The user blocked you.
DutchBoeremeisie
The whole "I don't know what I'm talking about but I'm going to yell 'AI'" is really hurtful to people who are trying to point out actual instances.
Xendrash
Which is great for people who want to discredit others and sow doubts. It takes little to fake a screenshot of a detector saying something is AI. And no matter how it is taken the AI people win. Either it causes people to doubt the detector more or people start questioning if they should jump on the bandwagon so quickly or at all. This war is lost, there are thousands of accounts posting every single hour, drowning every site you can imagine with all sorts images, false arguments, etc.
DutchBoeremeisie
(hurtful in the sense that it harms progress, not personally hurtful)
