This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

You can think of AI ethics what you want. What amazes me most is that people genuinely seem to like the art style many of these AI's produce. It just looks like pure, soulless slop to me. But it's everywhere. Stickers on lampposts are now made with AI. Pictures of food in restaurants are. Wedding invitations. I wonder how you'd look back on a souvenir of one of the most special days in your life years from now and it's just... slop. Even drawing something yourself would probably be better.
The GPT asthetic is an artistic lowest common denominator of all the training data. It makes sense that many people would like it.
I imagine that after the american AI giants fall there will be a new wave of boutique AI companies that have more focused models and the different image generation companies will likely try to differentiate themselves from the GPT look and one another.
Can't wait for YUP's to hang their boutique AI art on their walls
hopefully at some point the novelty of making something very quickly will wear off in favor of what the experience of consuming it is actually like
I despise the glossy wet texture or the high saturation and gooey colors.
I feel like they took the "late 2010's small gaming youtube channel" logo style and applied it to everything.
OMG, that's so true. The last few days, I've been getting the same two AI drama shorts as ads where everyone looks like a human except for the women intended to appear attractive - they look like straight-up uncanny dolls.
I want a roll of copies of a sticker I got form a local artist, which is made to get on these AI images IRL, which translates to: FUCK YOUR AI IMAGE. And along the edges: PAY AN ARTIST, YOU FUCKING MISER. I might even want something of the eggshell variety, that one that either can't be destroyed without leaving crap behind or the glue itself keeps some words on.
On a side note, I get this weird feeling that the digital is bleeding, like JPEG artifacts in actual printed images and such. It's weird.
For real, and the information in those stickers/posters is very cluttered and hard to make out. That's why graphic design is so important
