That's right! It goes in the square hole.

Are we really turning to AI to create a few 3D shapes and a rock wall with a hole in it?
I get the joke - it’s funny even. But seriously I would rather see a crude stick drawing from someone with no artistic talent than this soulless slop.
- Someone made a better version back in 2021 as well.
  
  This is a million times better than that Ai slop

- It's so fucking common these days. I keep seeing it on things I want to like, but I refuse to encourage the behavior.
  
  Then why are you on Lemmy's leading AI friendly instance created by the guy who makes the AIhorde? Seems kind of like a conflict of interest...
  
  I don't filter by instance. I get everything. Also, it doesn't change my point.
  
  I mean you kind of should care since the tagline of the instance is "Be Weird, Download a Car, Generate Art, Screw Copyrights" it's kind of hypocritical to stay on an instance if you don't believe in or are aggressively against its principles. Like it wouldn't make sense for someone to be a member of the piracy instance if they believe that piracy is wrong and intellectual property should be respected, similar thing goes for the AI instance. That might sound like a wrong comparison but the vast majority of anti-AI arguments I hear people barf up are along the lines of "we need to respect copyright" and "stealing intellectual property is wrong" "won't someone think of the ~~children~~ artists".
  
  You should write more.
  
  Great argument.
- how did you recognise it? I only managed to after zooming in to see the wobble in the text
  
  This is the new comic style being spammed everywhere. I think the most telling thing is that literally everything has this paper texture in a digital drawing, except the speech bubble, also this font is very specific to them.
  It is getting harder spotting AI, but very doable yet.
  
  Sizes are off, especially the circle wouldn't fit.
  
  Personally? Vibes. Specifically, it feels very... uniform. Like, a human artist good enough to draw like that would be better at composition, I think?
  More practically, even the newer ones struggle with specific shapes; look at the arch, no human would draw that weird hybrid of an arch and a... semi-donut?
  Older models struggle with lining stuff up and keeping things straight over long distances. The latest ones struggle with constant curvatures.
  
  Yeah it's funny how something on a "vibes" level just made me feel like me something was off and made me look into it closer. I worry that one day I won't have that weird feeling anymore.
  
  The obvious one to me was the two pyramid triangle things.
  The block box thing only comes with one.
- Agreed, but it's all downhill from here. When AI generated content is completely indistinguishable from human, things will
- I don't know how to make this. I would have asked AI.
  Something being made by ai doesn't automatically make it bad.
  Im not sure how you know it's ai

  That's my point. It doesn't have to look like this. It could look way shittier and make the same joke - the joke would land the same way. So why add a middleman? I'd rather see the shitty drawing by a human brain.
  I don't think AI is bad - I think using AI to create art is bad. AI used in technical applications makes sense, cracking our genome, predicting weather events, creating new medicines. I want the experiences that make us uniquely human to remain made by humans.
  Im not sure how you know it’s ai
  This generic style has been popping up a lot recently. Also observe the odd varying width in the letters, that's a common indication. It also lacks much sense on a logical level, something a human can typically discern when creating art. Why are there four speech bubble indicators but six objects? Why two pyramids? None of these things further improve or modify the joke - so why were they included? Not saying a human couldn't make these artistic choices, but they add up and set off my AI alarm bells.

  That's a common design choice in commics for groups of people is it not?
  Looked like an intentional design choice to me before I noticed it's ai.
  the experiences that make us uniquely human
  What do you mean by that?
  
  It doesnt have to look as good to work as a meme
