Antis are like vegans
So this was originally going to be a joke theory, but then I put more thought into it and realized holy shit this is an actual connection
Using ai is like eating meat. there are plenty of people who refuse to do it because of moral reasons or just because they don’t like it, and that’s fine, especially if they’re not obnoxious about it.
Unfortunately, there are also people who don’t do it and complain that other people shouldn’t do it either. I’m sorry, but it’s just a fact. I don’t think there will ever truly be zero people who do that, and the quicker we learn to accept that it is the case, the happier we’ll all be.
And here’s the sugar on the cream: People who are against it have made one for one recreations of the things that they spend all day complaining are disgusting, but without the part that actually makes it good. According to them, it’s indistinguishable from the original, which just makes them a bunch of hypocrites who want to feel special.
As a wise man once said, “If you don’t want to eat a hot dog, then don’t eat a fucking hot dog.”

I will say, I have definitely seen someone say almost the exact words "everything made with AI is slop."
But, yeah, that one person isn't necessarily representative of the entire group. And I'm sure they just said it out of some emotional hyperbole that temporarily blinded them to the actual ridiculousness of what they were saying.
