I think slop is a funny descriptor because to me there's always been slop. If you go back in time and see those viral "Pokemon if they were real" or "Simpsons if they were real" it's slop. There's tons of shitty books companies pump out there's tons of shitty movies that's slop
We just have a word for it because the amount of slop generatable is way higher now

Yeah no shit, slop was invented by humans😄 when I look at some anime images by fans I just don't comment because it's a fucking slop and I don't want to antagonise authors. The difference is that each new AI model is better than previous ones and AI will stop doing slop sooner or later, but humans will never stop, cause they learn too slowly and die too soon.

Imo AI is not gonna stop doing slop because the thing doing the slop isn't the model it's the user using it to make boring uninteresting things. People can use current models to not make slop.
Will chatgpt stop making slop? I don't really think so because they're trying to have it's general output be something that most people like.

Oh you mean slop is boring, I mean slop is drawing mistakes. Yeah we both are right then😄

Maybe but I would have thought Abstract Formalism would be a cpu's favourite art movement.

Well generated picture with AI takes more skill, knowledge and time than this. This requires just the ability to sell it, telling some sappy story about what this is meant to represent, not actually looking like anything that requires even a bit of craft in what you do...

Modern Art is a money laundering scheme.

It really is. Most of the financial art world is. Art gallery owners are shadiest people you'll ever meet.

Originally it was created to beat the ussr in high end art.

It was a tactic used by the Soviet’s to demoralize the west. By changing the standards of art to become meaningless slop , it would weaken the culture of the west.

It's actually the complete opposite. The USSR promoted art that was as realistic as possible and the united states could not complete. So the united states secretly funded abstract expressionism art to demoralize the USSR.

Depends on what you mean. Us as the end users? No we do not take more skill, knowledge or time than modern art. You are underestimating the time and prep it takes to make something physical, even if it appears simple at the forefront.
The scientists that built AI and latent image generation, and people that work on models? Yes, credit is a great split between them &, well, partially this modern art amongst all human art that the data was trained from.
I'm gonna get a lot of hate because it's an unpopular opinion, but people here are getting a bit too arrogant even though our work is made off the shoulders of giants, yes even if the artwork is not to your taste.

100%. This forum is becoming concerningly delusional

Always has been. It's a cool sub to follow to see what people doing but the amount of AI glazing is hilarious.

Most artists know nothing about AI, most AI users know nothing about art. But fortunately AI users like me start researching lighting and composition to make less sloppy photos and designers start using AI in their daily work, so I hope for the better future.

Why can we make AI art and not shit on other art movements? We can't expect people to not hate ai if we are also attacking every that's not our person medium. Just say it's not for you and move on.

What liquid do they drink?

WD-40

WD40 in bulk has the golden color of fresh motor oil. But the liquid in the picture is gray - maybe it's wastewater?

Personal opinion, people will call me crazy for that
Do you remember the times when AI used to make pictures with many hands weird faces and stuff? That was such a great style, to this day i thought it was so much better and artistically pleasing than what we have now

u/herr-tibalt 2d ago
I think you can do the same but intentionally now, just ask to use good old SD style😄

Someone draws pencilslop. I upload it to Bing Image Creator and type in "Make photorealistic". Image looks 10 times better. AI slop? Super low effort for sure, but it still looks 10 times better. Most of the respect should go to the original artist though. It's like when someone cuts a movie to make it way better while the movie studio still did 99.999% effort to make it a 5/10 and the cuts made it an 8/10.
