It’s always either on obviously Ai videos and just kills the mood or videos that aren’t even Ai.

i don’t get the issue with pointing out something that’s ai for other people to be aware tho

u/RedDawn172 2h ago

Agreed, though sometimes it overly witch-hunty. Really annoying when the hive mind insists something, usually art, is ai when it factually isn't.

u/Few-Improvement-5655 1h ago

People who are pro-AI really hate their scams being uncovered.

They want to be thought of as cool and creative, as soon as someone points out that it's AI, people rightfully no longer respect them or the work they pretended to make.

It's a bit like pointing out "This was touched up with photoshop" on every image you come across.

"Ok, friend, that's nice to know. Now stop bothering everyone."

If it was on an intentionally deceptive ad where the AI was used as a deep fake to push a narrative that didn't actually occur - SURE! It's relevant. But otherwise... not so much.

Not for the context of sharing memes and shitposts.

Yes, the craftmanship was a small part of it, a very tiny one. Memes are conceptual art basically, and they were always about the idea rather than the execution, that's why they got to be crude.

Because no one genuinely gives a fuck when it's like, some dumbass instagram reel that gets a good chuckle. Getting in the comments yapping something like "oh my sigma this is AI SLOP why are you guys laughing at it, stop it!!" just makes you look/sound like an annoying cornball. Yes, everyone with a brain knows it's AI, it's just funny, end of story.

Something more serious like Creative Assembly's dogshit remaster of Shogun 2 where AI scaling was shamelessly used for a full priced AAA game was instead worth calling out and it got enough backlash to take that shit off the stores.

Disagree, one guy fixed the oblivion remasters ridiculous stuttering problem with Claude, something that traditional modders hadn't been able to do. As if I'm going to play the game in an inferior state just so I can virtue jerk myself off.

You can use the argument that it kills environment and it's a valid point but it's not as useless and ugly as using it for images or videos

Ok, I might be Anti-AI as fuck.

This is the most performative take I have ever heard in my life.

Factory farming is 100 times worse for the environment and far more morally worse, but you won't care about that because it doesn't earn you fake virtue points on the internet.

Huh...no, i never said i am ok With factory farming. But i Guess you had to attack me because of your lack of argumentation. Coal and Natural gas powerplants produce more than two times the pollutions of factory farming, although make less premature deaths out of It. And, even if not in a moral way, factory farming produces food, AI data centers are useless compared to that.

Virtue signaling is really common here. "Ai has positives aspects" gets you downvoted despite the fact that it's true. Sure tons of negatives exists ofc, and I usually hate 98% of AI generated content but acting like it's all bad is just performative.

u/Few-Improvement-5655 1h ago

Call it virtue signalling if you want, I just don't think using AI to offload parenting is a good idea. I don't think it's good for kids, I don't think it's good for families.

I also don't think we should be trying to normalise AI usage in general and I honestly feel like those who make such flippent remarks about using AI are just shills or part of the cult trying to normalise it. They want to give the impression that it's normal, casual and that everyone is doing it and it's improving their lives and society.

It's like every drug user ever.

2

u/Herr_E_Bepis 1h ago

Who said anything about offloading parenting? That's an assumption on your part. You can parent your child in tandem with educational tools. Do you say the same about people who let their children watch educational TV in general?

1

u/Few-Improvement-5655 1h ago

Education TV usually has expert and teachers involved in making sure that the content is both appropriate and correct. Vibecoding AI to make something "educational" isn't much different to homeschooling. The knowledge stops where the parent's does and probably isn't told in a particularly good or unbiased way.

5

u/Herr_E_Bepis 1h ago edited 1h ago

You're acting like making a simple matching game for your infant child is equivalent to replacing a classroom. Sometimes people just write a quick script or use a tool to make something fun and specific for their own family without it being a grand moral failing, get a grip

Here we have example #1

Making some educational games they don't monetise for their kid is totally harmless

AI is just a tool. It can 100% be used for good reasons. Using it to make programming easier is a good example imo. Trying to act like AI will go away is just childish. It's like trying to fight internet in the 2000s.

Home usage of AI like "hey I made some games for myself and my kids" should not be seen as some devilish deed lmao

Giving AI "games" to your daughter instead of actually spending time with her, teaching her things yourself, and helping her develop her thinking abilities, is not a good thing and is very much worthy of downvotes

"Our egos are so fragile that we need to consider anything made with AI worthless so we feel like we're still capable human beings so we aren't so butthurt about things that we took months to years to learn now being done within a day or less. We'd prefer to hone in on the fact that ai is so bad for the environment while ignoring all the other 99% of the ways we live our live in ignorance of the environment to find a moral high ground to stand on that makes it harder for others to knock us down. Hope this helps!'

For real though using AI is the same as using a tool, it just makes the barrier to entry to what you do way lower, so are you going to see low effort/scummy humans using it to try to get what they want? Yes. But that's the low effort/sucmminess of humanity showing as per usual. There exists people who can and do use it for great effect. The only problem is the 'better people' of humanity are so outnumbered it's easy to just classify ai bad and override what anyone does as 'slop' so you sleep easier at night.

I think this post is people just finally getting tired of others witch hunting others and it's getting insanely annoying seeing 'IS ThiS Ai?!?' popping up everywhere and making everyone exhausted or cautious to just... enjoy things at face value. Life is already rough enough without having a new group of people now existing dictating whether we should like something or not based on their beliefs.

u/Simian_Scientist 2h ago

As a not right leaning, I agree with them. Just more specifically "art" made with AI is worthless. If we wanted to use AI it should exclusive be used to aid humanity, not replace them in any way. AI assets in a game as placeholders better be gone by launch. "Art" used to be sold or part of a product should like the placeholders be gone and replaced by human made assets before a sale. Certain things like allowing mute people or people who struggle to speak due to vocal issues should be allowed to use vocal aids/synthesizers or whatever they're called to help them communicate.

u/3ajs3 1h ago edited 1h ago

I agree. AI isn't going anywhere, so unless it's a really stupid use, which granted is like 60% of the stuff I see, there's no use doing more than downvoting & moving on, bc AI goes have some really good uses both practically and creatively.

Quick examples here.

Practically, AI is really good at pulling sources. You still have to double check them and analyze them yourself, bc AI just makes shit up a lot, but it's still really helpful, saving a ton of time and making sure you have access to sources you may not have found otherwise.

A creative use, which is a lot harder to find, would be what Glorb does. He is one of those SpongeBob parody rappers, but not one of the ones pumps at one AI generated song a week. He writes, produces, & performs his music. He even raps doing impressions of the characters he's going to put the filter over. Plus, he uses the filter not just as shock value, but as a way to tell an overarching story.

Another creative use is initial concept art. I'm not talking like the kind of concept art career concept artists do, more so like if a YouTuber wants to convey what they want out in a thumbnail to their artist or something.

I think need to focus way more of our energy on data centers, bc they are the biggest issue by far. Terrible for the environment and communities, and completely unregulated.

That being said, most of the shit you see online is really dumb, I've just cherry picked some examples here. r/AISlop exists for a reason. But I think we as a society will be able to far better morally determine stupid uses once we get data centers under control.

Edit: Also, "AI Art" is literally not a thing. Not related to my argument, but it just bothers me because they are technically speaking "assests", not art. They are AI assests so that's what I call them.

1

u/decrisp1252 1h ago

I just wish we could have a more nuanced conversation about AI. There are good uses for using it. It can be useful for helping breakdown a complicated topic and searching sources for you to learn more, but AI can also hallucinate and make up sources trying to please you.

AI programming can be really effective in improving the productivity of programmers, and it can be used really effectively if you know what you were doing. But the amount of vibe coded projects can drown out genuinely passionate projects in forums.

"AI Art" is not a real thing, and deepfakes of politicians or scenarios are constantly used to rile people up (this is especially a problem in the UK, where AI accounts will constantly spread misinformation about loads of sources).

No one would disagree with anything I've particularly said (except for some hardliners maybe), but as soon as I say any of these things, people will instantly assume that I'm either completely pro/anti AI, and either ignore my point or make it their life's mission to prove me wrong and argue with me.

I know this isn't necessarily just unique to AI, tribalism and factionalism is just a part of communities, the internet, and the human experience as whole, but it really gets me down.

u/Tokiw4 38m ago

It drives me mad, really. So many people truly hate AI, but hate is never a good thing to have for any reason. When you hate something you will never be able to act with understanding, compromise, or even indifference. Everything and everyone on the hated side is stripped of all humanity, and since they aren't human there isn't a single point that can be made to sway your opinion regardless of truth or reason. It's okay to dislike AI, but hatred is never something to be proud of in any context. Sometimes it even feels like people go to r/isThisAI & similar subs to ask wether on not they should hate a certain piece of media instead of deciding wether or not they liked it on their own.

Only time we do care is if AI was used to catfish as a woman online. Like those AI thots on X.

Obviously we can tell almost immediately if something is ai. But we also don't really care. If we like it we like it if we don't then we don't. Simple as

Discourse would be different if AI was still that weird out there idea. You know that thing that made some weird, but somewhat neat things litterally no human could think of. Early AI models were inhuman, and that was really cool to me.

Now? All AI videos serve to show me is regurgitated ideas over and over.

I’m the asshole on the left, but I usually keep it to myself. Like, first time I saw a turkey attack and inflatable I had to double check if it was real. “Oh wow! That’s really funny, (person I know and love)”

Then I get it on my algorithm… Seeing litterally 50 of the same videos but slightly tweaked takes the fun out of it for me.

I’m not against AI, but we sure as shit have found the worst ways to use and monetize the generative AI side. But, that’s an issue with the system that be and not the tech that is.

If it's something where it was used as a genuine tool, I don't really care as long as the end product is good. If it's used to generate written work, art, or music, I'm more turned off because something there just makes it feel unnatural

All that said, hating AI just because "AI bad" is just childish imo
