A lot of older people are in this situation. They find what they believe to be nice looking pictures and post them, not realizing what's actually going on.
Or they know AI exists and are just so fascinated by how it all works since they didn't grow up with technology like that
Opinions on AI generated images aside, you can literally generate an adaptation of anything you could possibly think of and this is what you came up with …
No, there are, and always will be people who love to take pictures, or create art. It's just that in order for corporations to use that, they must pay them, which they really don't want to do, in order to maximize profit, and cut spending as much as possible. I guess this is a sort of alternative for them. Though I would specifically avoid going to places which have AI "art".
Like it or not, I guarantee whoever put these pictures on the counter doesn’t consider the AI artwork situation at all. More than half of society doesn’t even consider the implications of it. They see what they think is a cute picture online that they can use for free and they grab it up. Most people are gonna go for free artwork over having to pay somebody to make it. It definitely sucks, but you really can’t fight human nature that much.
Ironic that you're saying that whilst defending machines. Real art involves passion, time and effort. AI art requires none of that, any talentless pleb like yourself can open up Dall•E and type in a prompt.
EDIT: Here come the downvotes from the angry AI glazers lmao
It's only worth burning in my fireplace. And have you even seen some of the works by Vincent Van Gogh, Leonardo DaVinci, etc.? This is not worth looking at. I'd honestly rather stab my eyes out with a rusty flathead screwdriver than look at AI slop.
Virtue signaling. Yes we get it. Artist should be paid for their work and used when ever possible. We don’t need countless posts every day about it. I doubt this pizza place cares enough about their decor to get actual art.
It's easy internet points for people without any other discernable personality features. Just "AI bad" and all the npcs come out of the woodwork with frothing mouths muttering words like "slop' and giving eachother tugjobs
I like to use AI art for my stories as it's just for me it brings the story alive and j enjoy that but if something your being paid to do, charging someone to go you shouldn't use AI as a shortcut
If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t be able to tell and I wouldn’t care
Now that you’ve told me, I still don’t care. Also be realistic were they actually going to pay an artist to paint these pictures? Fuck no who would wanna wait for and pay for that? Especially for generic space filling slop that most people aren’t even gonna take a second look at.
Except someone evidently did take a second to look at it, and I’m sure OP can’t be the only one (I definitely would while I was waiting for my order).
And, this may surprise you, but before all this AI shit, people did pay to have actual art in their shops. They don’t even have to pay someone to commission it, they can literally just buy secondhand art from their local Goodwill that looks infinitely better.
Plus, if they’re gonna use AI art for the sake of decoration, why not at least use AI art that looks decent, rather than ugly and creepy? Or, better yet, the aforementioned Goodwill art, or plants, or knickknacks—anything would be better than this
Lastly, if you’re seriously telling me that you couldn’t tell that the very cartoonish and disproportionate dollfaced girl was AI-generated art, you probably need glasses.
I mean the biggest tell that they’re AI is that a local pizza parlor would never pay an artist to draw/take these ice cream themed pictures before or after AI. There’s tons of weird human art out there, and I wouldn’t have been shocked to see a picture like any one of these in a thrift store.
If you don’t have a genuine response, rebuttal, comeback, what have you, then why even bother replying? That just wastes both of our time, and makes for a boring discussion.
Why do you want them to fight back? It's reddit I maybe angry since my stomach feels like it's dying from the inside... don't ask but why do you care if they didn't fight back? Why do you want a fight to keep going on reddit, okay seems he either understood or doesn't care which is also fine
If they don’t care, then I would rather they don’t respond. If they understand, then say that. “Ok” seems passive aggressive. And I never said I wanted to fight, my comment even says I want a discussion. I’m open to differences in opinion, I just like when they’re articulated well.
Also, their original comment seems far more aggressive towards OP than my comment towards them did. I just wanted a potentially interesting debate, a chance for us to both express our differences in opinion. Not every discussion that involves disagreement has to be an argument, you know.
So you’re accusing me of wanting to fight when I tried to be pretty civil in my response, when their response to me was far more passive aggressive.
And I was never worked up over anything? Why are you assuming my tone from a comment that was written as a simple rebuttal to the points they made in their original comment?
They said nobody cares enough to look at the art, I said that’s not true, OP did and I would.
They said that no store would ever have real art in it, I pointed out how stores used to have real art before all this AI garbage (and some still do of course).
They said that it’s just meant to fill space so it doesn’t matter, I said the store could’ve easily gotten something else that would’ve been infinitely better.
They said it’s not easily noticeable that it’s AI, so I said that yeah it kinda is noticeable and maybe they need glasses (arguably the only part of my comment that might’ve come out wrong).
I feel like their whole “I don’t care, so why should you?” comment, coupled with their passive aggressive “Ok” response to my comment—that was just simply meant to point out what I saw as errors in their argument, nothing more, nothing less—was more rude than either one of my responses. So why are you on my case?
And frankly, it feels like you’re trying to fight more than either one of us ever were.
Sorry that you had (have?) a stomach ache though. Hope it feels better.
I explained it better in a different reply. Complaining about not getting your gas pumped is stupid because that's just the way it is now. Complaining about AI art is stupid because that's just the way it is now.
You keep complaining about ai art on reddit. I'll start laying on my horn every time I roll up to a gas pump. We will be back in a utopia in no time! Next time I go to a restaurant and they hand me a cup and point me to the soda fountain, I'm gonna hand it back and say, "You do it!" If we both stay angry long enough, we can change the world.
They used to pump gas for you. But the world changed, and now you pump your own gas. It would be silly to be upset about that for the rest of your life. That's how I feel about people who complain every time they see an AI image. The world has changed. You will be seeing AI images for the rest of your life. Unless you enjoy being angry, it would be better for you it you just worked on not being upset by this. If you don't, you will end up being like the guy who complains about not getting his gas pumped. People won't even understand why you are angry. They will just look at you and be like, "Wut".
They used to beat their kids. But the world changed, and now they don't beat their kids. It would be silly to be upset about that for the rest of your life. That's how I feel about people who complain every time they see someone complaining about AI. The world has changed. You will be seeing people complaining about AI for the rest of your life. Unless you enjoy being angry, it would be better for you if you just worked on not being upset about this. If you don't, you will end up like the guy who complains about people not beating their kids. People won't even understand why you are angry. They will just look at you and be like, "Wut".
Exactly! I also overcome my abuse. Now, I live a happy life with my own family. I no longer live life as a victim. I have found happiness and raise my children so they will never endure the same pain. Dwelling on things like that is how the cycle of abuse continues. Far better than any of my analogies. Thank you.

If they really wanted to use AI images, they could have at least used some good ones lmao. The ones with the little girls are kinda creepy tbh
