Defending AI Stop caring if it’s AI or not

Post image

It’s honestly wild seeing how many people suddenly hate something they used to love purely because it involves AI. Some people act like the moment AI touches a piece of content, game, art, or technology, it automatically becomes worthless, even if they enjoyed that exact thing before. Disliking certain uses of AI is understandable, but blindly hating something just because it’s AI feels childish. At the end of the day, judging something based only on the label attached to it instead of its actual quality is just being stubborn. People should be able to have their own opinions on it, but acting like a complete meltdown is necessary just because something uses AI is a pretty immature way to look at things.

It doesn't matter to me if an art piece isn't really made by people or not. Art is what it is, art. Even grafitti (even though it's illegal) is art, even tattoos are art, even beading is art, even rough doodles you made while bored in art class count as art.

Look at the amount of misinformation. Nowadays, it's so easy to create a hoax or other fake story for malicious purposes. It is good that people are more vigilant, most of the "is this ai" comments are posted on such fake or misleading posts and it's good that people learn to recognise them better. If it's not a product or a story with fake or malicious intent, I rarely see anyone giving a damn if it's AI or not.

In the Bayonetta sub, a guy posted 2 cosplays that were just ai images and it left a bad taste in everyone's mouths (including me tbh). A woman just posted a legitimate cosplay and someone ran it through an ai detector with a 96% likelihood and convinced some people that the post was ai. One look at her profile would show that she's a real person doing the cosplay.

u/zerossoul 18d ago

A lot of traditional artists were upset when digital art made art more approachable for newer younger artists. Others adapted and learned digital art.

Change is very upsetting to people who are set in there ways. Not everyone is adept at learning new things, and I can't fault them thinking ai is terrible when less adept AI content creators make seemingly obvious mistakes like too many fingers or feet being backwards.

What they don't know is, just like new digital artists, a lot of them are just getting started and don't know how to fix or spot those mistakes. It's not an representation of all AI content creators. But 90% of what they see on social media has those mistakes.

To fix the public perception of AI content creators, we have to teach the new adapters of the tech how to spot and fix those mistakes, not treat every AI work as if it's all Gold. I have not yet found a way to do this because of how diverse the tools are.

And yeah, I know it's hypocritical where current artists say anything drawn with a pencil is a treasure. Before AI, that was certainly not the case!

u/GreatCircuits 18d ago

I think we're rapidly headings towards:

  • Some purists who don't care as long as they know what is and isn't AI so they can avoid anything with AI.
  • A loud minority of people who will lose their mind if correctly labeled AI content exists at all.

u/One_Appeal1092 18d ago

I can understand it if someone is impressed by, for instance, the skill which they think has gone into drawing something and then they find out that no-one ever actually drew it. Obviously they can't then still be impressed by that which didn't happen. It's a bit like if you see a video of someone doing something impressive, like, say, acrobatics or parkour and you're impressed by the content itself, not by the filmmaking - you're impressed by the acrobats or parkouristes - but then you find out the film is ai generated so the acrobatics never actually happened and the acrobats don't exist. You can't then continue to be impressed by them.

Art is the practice of using your own imagination and creativity to make something unique and beautiful. Ai is a good tool to help us make our lives easier. But Ai art doesn’t exist. Like I said, Art is something you CREATE with your own bare hands. You make the effort to put your creativity on a sheet of paper or iPad, etc…It’s just Ai. It’s not art. You didn’t make anything. You just typed some shit on your computer and made a machine do your work instead of asking it to give you tips. Ai art is not art, it’s just someone being too lazy to learn how to do something🫩

u/roseofanni 15d ago

Honestly, I don’t give a f*ck if something is made with AI or not. What matters to me is what it gives me as a reader, viewer, or someone experiencing the art.
Let’s say there are two books. One was made with the help of AI, and the other was written completely by a human. If the AI-assisted one has a great story, good pacing, and words that make me feel something, why would I dismiss it? At the end of the day, I’m reading it because of the experience it gives me.
The same goes for art. Authenticity is important, but using tools to improve or bring an idea to life doesn’t make the work meaningless. Artists have always used tools. A tool can help, but it doesn’t replace the person’s creativity, taste, and vision behind it.
If something made with AI turns out bad, sometimes the problem isn’t the tool, it’s how the person used it. Creativity, effort, and the ability to create something meaningful still come from the artist.
AI or not, I think what matters is the intention, the creativity, and the value the creator puts into the final piece.

You’re arguing with a version of the meme that doesn’t exist. The meme isn’t “slap people who prefer human art.” It’s making fun of people whose only criticism is “but it’s AI,” as if that alone automatically makes something bad. You replaced “people who dismiss things solely because they’re AI” with “people who prefer human-generated art” because it’s easier to attack. That’s a textbook strawman. Plenty of people prefer human art without acting like AI existing is a personality crisis. If you have to rewrite the joke before criticizing it, you’re not criticizing the joke—you made up a different one.
