(sorry for the low quality image, despite seeing it a lot on Reddit this was the best one I could find online)

I wish society judged people who don't tag AI art the same way we judge those who fail to tag NSFW or spoiler content.

This is truly the worst timeline.

The really noxious thing about AI is how it will latch onto anything that is popular and turn it into shitty 9gag memes at lightning speed.

So in things like this I typically hold the view of judging something based on the final product regardless of how it was made.

But every time I realize something's AI, even if it looks good, it feels like all the color and depth has been sucked out. Like realizing it has no soul, that I'm staring at a husk.

To put it in more technical terms, the realization immediately halts any deeper analysis and appreciation for the work. The question of "What meaning does this background detail has?" always has the same answer of "It was the most probable filler for that area".

It made me truly realize how much I took for granted that every part of a human art piece has a story behind it, whether intentional or not.

For me it doesn't matter how an image was generated, but it matters if the image is lying to me.

If something is incredible or unbelievable, then label it as real or generated.

If it's just some art, then I don't care much. I'm not going to dis/like based on how it was generated.
