Yes, as I said, you can regret the circumstances that led to it. You can even dislike continuing to consume it. What we are talking about is you going “Mmm… Delicious!” Then spitting it out and going “Blegh, disgusting! Who could ever enjoy something that tastes like THAT!”
If someone gives me art from their kid I will inherently overlook the flaws because I am happy to see them drawing. If I learn it’s from a billion dollar studio, it will drastically change how I view it. If someone asked me to objectively say how good the drawing is I would say it’s terrible. But I’m thinking about the artist so I don’t notice the flaws. If a billion dollar studio made the art I would say “I don’t know how anyone could ever enjoy this” while actively enjoying the 5 year old’s identical art. Just replace the 5 year old with “actual artists” and it’s the same situation. My enjoyment is partially from the person behind it improving and seeing feedback.
I would never say there is no “good” ai art, but I would also say 99.999% of AI art feels very generic. If I see a regular artist draw “good” art that is generic, I will say good job because they drew good art even if I find it generic. If there’s no artist… well it’s just generic “good” art so why would I not just look at an actual artists work for diverse “good” art, while not supporting the energy/water leech that is ai images?
while not supporting the energy/water leech that is ai images?
Not as much of one as you think, these days. If you have something resembling a gaming PC from within the last 5 years or so you can probably run AI image generation locally, with how large a model and how complicated a workflow depending on your specs. Less stressful for the hardware than running a current AAA game even, depending on the model (possibly demanding more GPU RAM though).
Not false but I would say most people are not doing that, and you’ll be using models that are not as advanced and don’t have as large a dataset as the big companies. If someone wants to generate them locally and enjoys them then more power to them (though still arguable they’re using ill-begotten data)
