four frame comic.
first frame shows a typical AI poster that says : All chatgpt flyers look the same, especially with this font! the text above it reads : I won’t go to your event if the poster was made by AI.
second frame shows a still frame from a Hank Green youtube video. text above reads : I won’t read your post or email and I won’t watch your video if they were made with AI.
third frame shows an AI restaurant poster of burgers and chicken in a window. text reads : I won’t patronize your shop or restaurant if it is advertised with AI.
last frame shows an MS paint window with badly written : Your bad art is better than AI slop. text reads : if you can’t take the time or make the effort to interact with me yourself, then why should I do it?


I mean, we’ve had gimp for free for ages now ffs.
Just ask your nerdy cousin to make something already. You know, that thing they call human interaction? Come to think of it, if you had more human interaction you might also get laid so you don’t have to rely on a shitty ai gf.
Don’t try stuff with your cousin though ffs.
Yeah, I have tried explaining this to people. We have been able to do all of these things for decades with minimal effort (and without destroying the planet while handing it over to fascist billionaires)
The issue: non-nerds have never even heard of a gimp, and the majority of people now do not use a computer. Try finding one young person who does most computing on a laptop, let alone a desktop (no one uses desktops any more. Of my ~15 friends/acquaintances I can think of, I am the only one with desktops). It’s all phonephonephone (a phone loaded with spyware, to boot).
Can I try stuff with their cousin, or is that also off limits?
One man’s trash, is another man’s cousin?
So Alabama just doesn’t get good graphics design then?
But… if that cousin is hot and pretty into it? Just asking for a cousin
This is the problem… people tried
“I need an icon for my twitch channel”
“I’m an artist, I don’t work for free” /r/choosingbeggers
Nobody said that your nerdy cousin should do it for free. Give him/her $10 or something.
This is why AI art is so incredibly popular
Fuck my nerdy cousin, AI will do a bang-up job for free
AI art is currently free because it’s subsidized by the AI companies who are spending investors’ money to try to buy marketshare and mindshare. When that subsidy ends, you’ll have to pay for it too.
Maybe, maybe not. Doesn’t matter, it is currently free and people prefer it over your nerdy cousin because of that
There’s the argument that despite what your nerdy cousin says, he doesn’t actually like making art, he just think that if he can be an artist he won’t have to have a real job. He doesn’t want to draw a picture for you, otherwise he would have done it for free simply because it was fun
