I want y'all to know I took a deep breath before writing this.

Writing AI prompts does not make someone an artist. Nobody is seriously contesting that, and nobody is claiming otherwise.

But you also can't just type, “Hey Grok, make me a 30-minute video recreating the entire Cell Saga,” and have a finished production magically appear. That's not how this works.

There is an actual pipeline involved. Multiple AI applications and other software, compositing, editing, sound design, music, voice acting, visual direction, continuity, revisions, and an enormous amount of human labor. Some of these projects involve hundreds of hours of actual work. The AI is a tool within that process; it isn't a magic button that produces a finished piece of media from a sentence.

And I know, I know, AI is the literal Antichrist around here. I get it. But this caricature of what people are actually doing with AI is becoming a massive misrepresentation of the technology.

It's getting irritating because I see this constantly now. The same joke, over and over, based on the assumption that someone typed a single sentence into an LLM and somehow produced an entire film, song, animation, or game.

At this point, I don't know if some of y'all are intentionally ignorant about what LLMs and generative AI actually do, or if you just enjoy reflexively hating the technology. Either way, the joke has run its course.

It isn't funny anymore. It's just inaccurate.

I'm tired of this constant fuckai spam. AI slop this, AI slop that. AI slop impacts me almost not at all, while the constant hate mongering by fuckai is getting on my nerve.

Not a SINGLE "AI artist" ever "looked at you like this". You are building a strawman as the target of your hate because you can't do anything else with it. Are we a society defined by hate now?
