Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I'm tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative AI spam...

For the record, I block any explicit AI Art communities that pop up in the feed, but there are more every day...

I've seen a lot of really cool AI art and a lot of shitty AI art. I don't mind it as long as it is labelled as AI art
- Good take here. Quality content is quality content. Spam is spam. AI art can be quality or spam. I say label it as AI but don't ban, just enforce the rules about spam
  
  I feel like people holding up human made art as some bastion of high quality being encroached upon by the AI scourge have not spent much time delving deep into places like deviantart
- My issue with AI art is that it makes laziness easier. I hate seeing shitty AI art where it looks really gross when you look at the details. I've seen big companies post really shitty AI art that was horrifying once you look closer. Like Microsoft put a disgusting image of jack-o'-lantern up as the background of Bing for Halloween and the faces were just grotesque and uneasy to look at.
  
  You hate it because it makes laziness easier...? It is literally the whole season why technology and science exist: To make things easier. Laziness is your boss' way of making you feel bad for not working more.
  
  So lazy
  
  There's an argument that art doesn't need to be good or bad, that art makes us think and discuss. I would argue that this piece has done that, because here we are discussing it.
  Another way to think of it is you saying "anyone could do it" , which then the response is "but no one did"

  "Yes" scribbled on the ceiling that you can only see if you climb this ladder and look at it with a magnifying glass.

  I didn't say I hate it, I said it's an issue for me. The reason why it concerns me is because it makes spam trivial. Anyone with hardly any technical knowledge could easily write a script that produces millions of shitty unreviewed images and spam it all over the place making it hard to find legitimately good stuff.
