If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)
@bender “Kunstliebhaber” perhaps? 😅

@movq hahahahahaha! I will try to incorporate that one when I complain about AI imagery. Like, "Stop fucking using that AI shit, mon, I am an Kunstliebhaber!
@movq tried translating that and it said Art lover/enthusiast, that could be correct since that despise of the artificial stems out of "Love for the Actual _real_ Art" although that's a subjective statement in itself; xD duckduckgo's translation thing spat out "künstliche-Kunsthasser"
> /me wantis to learn german so bad!

@aelaraji That was exactly the idea. 😀 (Yeah, there might be people who consider AI stuff “art”. On some level, I think that it *is* art, but not in the same way as a human being creating something.)

@movq This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called "AI":

If you derive your income from producing "elevator music" you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper music--music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio show--might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real music--music with depth and emotion--your job isn't going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? I've seen the kind of code AI writes. I've seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music won't be any different.

In other words, I don't think we can realistically even come close to emulating, emotion, depth, and creativity

There is something about human intelligence that we don't quite yet understand, and it isn't in the complexity or increasing the number of parameters to the order of billions 🤣

I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.
