@kjg yeah...I generalized a bit more than I intended. I moreso meant the people that directly come into my replies and call my AI stuff slop.
In my experience, they aren't mad at how it's used or the context, they're mad about how it's trained and even though I cannot change that, they take it out on me.😔
@alex it's usually about how it's trained on stolen data. At least that's the hate that gets thrown at me. They ask why I can't hire a real artist and all that. It's not about how I'm using it, it's that I'm using it at all.😬
My mind is pretty good at making short rhymes and such and I'll write a short rhyme about how I'm feeling and some words like "happy art" or "sad art" or just the style of art I'm feeling in the moment and usually run the prompt a few different times until I get something that I enjoy.☺️
@alex the fact is, when they reply directly to my posts, it DEFINITELY is about me.😳🤷♂️
I was slightly more generalizing than I should have. I mostly mean when it's directed at me, in my replies. That's my mistake for not making that more clear.
Every time someone says "AI slop" it makes me sad.
I am disabled and cannot learn to make art like others, therefore I use AI to portray my emotions and creativity in a way that I would never be able to otherwise.
Nor can I afford to hire a real artist because the only income I have, is disability payments.
When you call my work "slop", you're also calling my emotions "slop".
That's horrendous and shows how short sighted people are in regards to these things.
Social Media fool on multiple platforms. I tend to talk about #Fediverse :fediverse: and it's nuances. Also post #AIart using #Midjourney from time to time. I am your typical hippie and weed :veriweed: smoker. Follow me for a variety of topics like #gaming; comments and opinions on tech news; World news opinions; occasional self-loathing and #depression messages. VERY #ADHD. Sometimes my thoughts aren't organized.
