The message: ๐Ÿ‘

The AI generated slop: ๐Ÿซค

I could've made this art.

Shocking truth:

Humans can make all art made by AI.

Humans can make all calculations made by computers.

People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It's the way it always has been. It doesn't mean there's no value attached to it.

Incidentally, for all of the "this is AI" brigade, what are you picking up on? I'm not picking up on any of the classic tells. Aside from the closed fists in the first and last image, where I'd personally go for an open hand, I don't see anything obviously amiss.

Dude pulling on native american person's braid, mother and daughter look too similar, mom's hand is messed up, SS logos are messed up

There's a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify

Now after seeing more and more, my brain's detection algorithms are updating.

I'm quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

Ah, thanks for that!

I was genuinely interested because I used to lecture when the GANs first started appearing. Ironically enough, I used to point out to the students how you could tell photos were generated (mismatching ears shapes, asymmetrical glasses, oddly shaped jewellery etc.).

Seems like I need more exposure to the comic art side of things!
