www.forbes.com: The rise of AI-generated imagery and videos has turned the commercial art and production industries upside down, but one of its most insidious effects has been to cast doubt on the provenance of any work, whether or not it was created by humans. Now one creator is offering a modest idea for humans to affirm their place in the creative process.

Yes. AI Fruit Love Island is a great example of this! It certainly is slop and just shows zero creativity, as AI cannot think for itself, therefore can’t be creative. It only goes off of what's prompted to pull from what it downloaded from the internet. It’s quite interesting as well, especially seeing people's responses to it. The backend of it is really just it just pulls what it thinks is relevant from the internet, then “remakes” it in order to make what it thinks you want based on your prompt. It’s just not “human” or thinking like a human, it’s very similar if you only base your essay responses by quoting a single book, that’s basically the extent of the creative process AI has. It’s quite concerning that we are getting ads made using AI, and it’s not surprising they’re not successful. What makes a good ad is a new tactic that not many people have tried in the past, AI cannot do this.
AI makes me incredibly upset. Especially when we are talking about AI generated images. When people tell me they used AI for images, I have a different reaction than them telling me they used it to check their work or used it to help them organize something. Using AI for art and writing makes me a lot more upset because while AI has made art more “accessible” (which I do not necessarily agree with because art has always been accessible, it is just the mediums that make things a little less accessible due to how expensive/hard to come by they might be) it has taken away the creativity of the newer generations. Art is a skill that you need to practice and if you use AI, you are not actually practicing creating. The fact that AI uses existing artwork as “inspiration” means if you use it for art, even if you are coming up with a “new” idea, AI is stealing from an already existing artist.
When will it end? Honestly, I thought that the end of Sora 2, though skeptical in its open conclusion, was a bright enough red flag for a majority of people to finally begin to give up on “AI Slop", but of course that’s a naive conception. It is unfortunately going to take a lot of work to mitigate the cultural attitude towards “AI Slop” through education and awareness, even self-control and perseverance that many will refuse to succumb to in favor of how instantly satisfying or seemingly amusing “AI Slop” is to generate. Not only that, but the consequences are incredibly worrisome with our already polarized society now becoming even more untrustworthy towards others in trying to determine what is “AI Slop” and what isn’t with it becoming more advanced and normalized in the media. It all goes back to the power structures we have in place, both culturally and governmentally, with not enough resistance and awareness being exuded from the top, in fact, quite the opposite at the moment.
This is something I have experienced as well, I am way more skeptical about anything I see online now not just art, even for just regular videos I am more likely to think that it was made with ai if I notice something slightly amiss, which is really sad because before 2 years ago I never had to worry about that. I could take in content and not wonder if the thing I’m looking at was ai generated and the person just edited the ai platform logo out. It has become a prevalent part in every industry and especially on the internet so I can see why artists would be worried about this continuous ai growth and attempt to find a way to stop it however I don’t know if this solution would be really effective I feel like if ai gets advanced enough it could just recreate the logo or the person posting the ai image can just edit it with the logo (I think people who post ai art don’t really care about an honor system just about profit)
I am utterly fascinated by the internet community at large for their ability to spot AI versus ‘real’ art. It can be hard to understand or explain exactly why something feels like AI. It is akin to how art fans, enthusiasts, and sometimes casual art enjoyers can identify an artist just by looking at a painting. AI can be viewed as being, at its core, a digital artist. A lot of times it can seem like companies are trying to take the cheaper path for advertising by using AI videos instead of hiring actors, videographers, editors, scriptwriters, and techies to film commercials. This practice of leaning on AI for advertising is causing problems for these companies. However much they save using AI to create these ads is being offset by the amount they lose from potential customers that avoid buying from brands that take the seemingly lazier route of using AI for promotional purposes.
