    It's the people who impersonate art with slop who deserve the blame for the confusion, not the people who object to the slop.

    If the people who object to slop figuratively crucify real human artists for creating real human art, then they are the baddies.

      A careless false accusation is a bad thing, but not as bad as creating the situation of fucking up the culture in the first place.

          I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

          Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

          I can see why, it looks AI as hell...

          I think it looks nice. AI or not.

          I'd have to stare at it for longer than I have to decide if it's AI. So until I can do that, I'm going to trust the OP until I can verify their claims.

          Edit: definitely not AI. Nice shot OP.

            I remember trying to warn people on Reddit that their anti-AI crusades were going to hurt real people making real art, especially surrealists, and got banned from a bunch of art subs for being “pro-AI” as a result. Actually, they phrased it in far more hurtful and inflammatory ways, like “advocating theft.” Apparently caring about not hurting real human beings making real human art is “advocating theft.”

            I don’t miss Reddit. That place was bad for my mental health.

            P.S. This photo is beautiful and I’m happy you had a mind to capture it and share it. Thank you.

            It's the same shit on lemmy

            I was watching a video yesterday where the video author said it was sketchy that another ytber had used an AI voice but still credited the original voice actor the Ai voice was based on, the voice actor also chimed in that they agreed and were still being paid even though the AI voice was being used.

            Literally every time I see arguments against AI from creative it's because losing income/stealing, he hit both those and yet that is still not good enough.

            The goal posts will ever shift and the rage will never end.

              In my own anecdotal experience, it’s been a lot better here, but I’m sure instance, communities, etc all have an impact. I have noticed a slight uptick in toxicity recently, but once I started using Voyager’s tagging feature I realized the perpetrators are almost always the same 4 people.

                "Obviously" has been a conclusive reason to condemn things since social media began. So of course "obviously AI" falls under that impeccable standard.

                Also just curious, is taking photos with an iPhone something people apologize for now? I don't keep up with all the latest acceptibility rules.

                  People gonna pitchfork. I figure there are enough communities to peruse, getting banned by an overactively axe-grinding mod now and then isn't a biggie. LPT: it's not a reddit thing, those same mods are here too.

                        I get these kind of reactions on Lemmy all the time. I say something that isn't the exact party line, people assume I'm their worst enemy even though our disagreement is very minor in the broad scheme.

                        There's always an US vs THEM element to any culture, but to me it seems like there's been a relatively recent social trend (as in like the last decade) that anybody who isn't jumping up and down waving pompoms for the one right side of an issue is presumed to be an extremist for the polar opposite wrong side, and all their other views about the world and their overall way of life are probably also despicable. It's very simple binary thinking and works well with memes - minimal information to take in, quick and easy to process, one obvious right answer. It also fits gaming mindset very well - is this NPC on my side or should I kill him?

                          Sharing hardware specs doesn't need "because it was all I had" tho.

                              I got banned from a fandom subreddit for pointing out that a certain fan remaster was (partially, with tons of manual work) made with ML models. Specifically with oldschool GANs, and some smaller, older models as part of a deinterlacing pipeline, from before 'generative AI' was even a term.

                                  Since the light is hitting things just right, probably put some random objects or action figures in there to see if people notice. Every day is a new story! Cool picture by the way.

                                      It's not AI.

                                      There's one big tell that I don't think AI is advanced enough to replicate.

                                      Op took this picture though a window that had multiple panes of glass. So there's an echo of the image from the secondary reflections between the panes of glass.

                                      I also can't spot and of the debris in the shot blending into itself. Everything seems to be complete objects.

                                      But that reflection? I've never seen AI do anything like that.

                                      In case anyone doesn't quite see what's going on here, the image is taken from inside (lights seem to be off from where the camera is), through thermal glass into a concrete window space, which is common for places that have basements so the window can serve as an emergency exit (even if you need to break it to get out)...

                                      Looks like there's some kind of evergreen tree not far from where the window is, given the debris in the photo.

                                      Great shot OP.

                                        Since the light is hitting things just right, probably put some random objects or action figures in there to see if people notice. Every day is a new story! Cool picture by the way.

                                          It’s not HDR. It’s a single shot, slightly underexposed so we don’t lose the highlight detail. The rest of the work could have been done in a physical darkroom. But thank you.

                                          I think it's just that the iPhone processing gives it a certain look that people associate with ai for possibly incorrect reasons.
