I've actually recently seen some pretty good AI art that I found sexy. I believe it might be here on the forum recently posted in the art section. The April O' Neil post. Dude claims its a mix of AI and something else. Still, phenomenal.
Other than that, if you look at my other posts, I am one of the most vocal people on here in terms of anti-AI art and stories. ESPECIALLY the stories. I have at least seen some good AI art. I have yet to read one good AI- created tickling story that isn't snoresville by the second paragraph.
The issue with AI is that its very easy to create with it. Takes little to no talent. You just go to an AI generator, type up a prompt you want to see, or a combination of keywords, and click "generate". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Still, a trained monkey or a toddler could do it. So where you once had people who never posted or created anything such as stories or artwork because they lacked the talent and ideas to do so, they are now pumping out AI-created content like crazy. Sure, they're contributing instead of lurking, but ARE THEY REALLY?
At the end of the day it is what it is. Like I said, I have seen a few really good AI-generated art where I coudn't tell the difference between that and human generated, and I have also seen cut and paste AI tickle art as well which lacks all manner of creativity. Regardless of how any of us feel, its too late to put it back in the box at this point. Its here and its here to stay. We can continue to create anti-AI threads and complain until the end of time getting little to no traction, or we can just ignore it if it upsets us.
Side note my above ending comment wasn't directed at anyone or intended to target, upset, alarm, or insult anyone. Just saying as someone who, himself, has been b****ing about generative AI since ChatGPT first became a thing, and DALL-E, and whatever other generative AI tools are out now, my complaining has literally made no difference and has stopped nothing. Neither here nor on Deviantart, another site I closely follow which AI art has taken over by storm. Sorry, but thats the way of technology.
If you think AI and new technologies taking over is bad now, just wait until the first fully functional androids are created and start replacing humans in the workplace at all levels by the hundreds, the thousands, just so the big man on top can add a few million to his and his company's salary while we all go on welfare. Everyone dreamed of this technology, AI and robots, and now that they're either here or just around the corner, all of the issues they bring are beginning to arise.
