How to you fix the problem, then? Anyone can set up an image generator on almost any computer. The generation methods are just applied mathmatics.
I don’t know.
We have opened Pandora’s Box on AI and now the internet is forever massively worsened because of it. My only hope is that AI never advances past anything beyond the basics of composition so that it remains easy to spot and therefore easy to restrict from spaces celebrating real art.
AI is a tool, like a paint brush. You can create masterpieces as well as stick-figure drawings depending on how you use it.
Ah yes, because when humans do art we never add little touches that make it our own even if we are closely following the source material. Meanwhile AI only closely follows its data
Take for example this redraw of this meme:
Vs the original:
While they appear similar you can clearly see where they differ, with the end result being much better vs if they had copied the original more faithfully. Those changes were all intentionally done, based on the artists experiences biases and even mood. When AI makes changes it does not have the same intentions because it does not have artistic intent.
Art is a foundational way of human communication. AI slop is not that, as it mimics art while losing out on all but the most superficial of its communication.
That’s the neat part, they aren’t.
Because American standards only focus on the safety of those inside the vehicle, they also assume that the manufacturers make the frame out of something at least a little stronger than wet tissue paper.
