AI has been better than this for quite some time now. I honestly miss this era of AI-generated images though. It was always immediately noticeably AI but created some absolutely vile Cronenberg-esque abominations that I'd consider a genuine art genre on its own. Now we just get realistic but slightly uncanny slop
This current super-realism phase is just creepy because there's still a very tangible factor of uncanny valley in most pictures, but it's getting harder to tell precisely where that factor comes from...
I mean if were being real, this does catch attention. The audience is likely mocking the work but its the attention that matters for the tech bros. The real problem is that this a collage of other peoples work.
There was actually some sort of charm to those early models, they should have stayed there fucking up everything and making nightmare videos of people eating spaghetti.
The argument that ai art is a bad thing because it doesn’t look good is not a strong one, because it will only continue to improve to a point where it will unfortunately become indistinguishable from human art. There are much better things to criticise

The absurdist/Dadaist era of AI was peak.

I came to say that too! It was body horror and glorious. 4 arms in the wrong place? Eyes in funny places.

There was an utterly surreal burger commercial someone prompted that I just loved. It wasn't really good, but it was a lot.

Scrolled through my gallery some time ago and found some of those early AI images from 2023 or so. Its insane how much has changed in 3 years.

Jesus eating pizza on the beach is my favorite part of the bible.

Damn, you're right. I think I see pineapple on the pizza

the pizza looks UNCOOKED AND RAW TOO.

Which is entirely uncooked

Infinite pizza glitch

Pizza does look edible, however.

Yeah, but what is he eating exactly?
Bazell@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 144d
Something that doesn't look edible.

For now. Unfortunately. I really do fear what it will be in 1/ or 15 years. Hopefully it regurgitated itself and lacks originality

But it's soooo realistic !?!

I'm not pro-AI, but this could easily be modern art, too. The difference between human slop and AI slop is rather floating.

lame and stupid and false and it's just reason for you to post AI slop
AI is already stealing visual artists' jobs to create low-quality visuals for free
And some people are already using it to generate fake paintings and sell them
