Opposition to AI images is purely political friend/enemy division. If you had access to the Ghibli generator tech 3 years ago and didn't tell them about it, every single person who says "AI slop" now and thinks they're being principled would have loved it.
This. The crazy fact of the matter is the over-saturation of AI-generated content has resulted in the complete trivialization of the technology as a whole.
Go back to as recently as 2010, fuck it, 2015 and show people how this tech works. How you can take any photograph and infinitely re-synthesize it. How you can make fanart of anything, including porn, in the blink of an eye and virtually zero effort on your part. You would be venerated like a God. Your invention would be worth 8 - 9 digits at the very least. Everyone would be awed, and many would become hopelessly addicted.
Granted it sucked but Photoshop has had "content aware fill", the precursor to what we do now with a button-press, since CS5, released 15 fucking years ago.
You’re not wrong, but you guys are also getting conned into cheering on the like increasing third worldification of the US to own the libs. Once AI actually works as designed the efficiency lies in replacing your software engineers with a team of hr lady “prompt engineers” to use it and then a handful of H1Bs to QA the output. You’ll always need specialists like you gotta pay folks to use excel today. There are zero productivity improvements, it’s just ruthless corporate cost cutting.
I work menial labor in a factory, I'm just drinking in the catharsis that the faggots seething about AI replacing their jobs now were, just a few years ago, gloating that I would soon lose my job to automation.
It is hilarious, redditors have been giddy for a decade about how blue collar work will totally be 100% automated in the future and everything will be cheaper and we will live just like star trek!!!
As it turns out computers are better at writing articles in a computer or generating images in a computer than fixing a burst pipe or driving a semi truck.
Working in frontier tech is always high risk high reward. Computer programmers don't deaerve to have their jobs preserved in the face of new tech any more or less than cotton gin gear manufacturers did. Which is to say, not at all.
Even now you will have people sharing images and loving it, but if you realize it's AI and point it out they immediately performatively hate it.
It's like with Unity games, it's trash when it's just a marketplace asset flip but that doesn't mean every game made with that engine is trash. For a really great AI image you wouldn't be able to tell either way.

That's the absolute best part of this and I'm glad people noticed.

Unless they were talking about eliminating government jobs specifically, how does more unemployment make more money for the government?

That's cool. I tell my computer to draw anime boobs and it draws exactly what I was imagining though.
You'd still have the "media literacy" faggots chiding you for disrespecting Miyazaki because he hates AI.
He also hates anime in general, so they don't have much to stand on respecting his opinion.

The same was with Flash back in the day. We need easy simple stuff for beginners, because we need beginners.
