I'm a beginner at drawing, but I'd wager people would choose that over AI.
Right?
In the beginning, people used simple programs like ms paint with a mouse to draw. I use my phone's editor to draw stuff. Have a cat
I was a beginner until I tried this one weird trick: Draw an orgy scene with Sonichu, Shrek, Goku, and Spider-man.
You are welcome in advance.
I've got people praising my poorly drawn graphs, of all things. 5min stuff like this:
So yes, odds are they'll like your drawings better over mass produced AI slop.
you've inspired me to make my own pie chart about a parody for badgers lol
Except that honey badger don't care 🦡
I love this!
I understood this and now my back hurts!
Mind to eli5? Or link a video?.
I feel like this references an old meme... But I can't remember what it is.
Edit: badger badger badger badger https://youtu.be/NL6CDFn2i3I
How I read the image:
In the song, Badger is a monotone repetition, hence being the X axis. When Mushroom comes in, it pitches up, hence being the Y axis. Then, when Snake comes in it fluctuates in pitch with an overall rise.
The humor is clever enough on its own, but the roughly sketched chart with clipart sells the fact that the joke is in the delivery and being sent quickly without being overly refined to the point that it looks polished. The rough rounding of the background makes it even more funny for me, because it was like an attempt was made.
Peak artistic humor by looking like an idea was thrown together to get the joke out as fast as possible. Maybe it was quick, maybe it took time to do for the end result, but the look comes through.
Perfection
In the meantime, artist intention be like:
"Uh, should I label the axes «good» and «gooder»? «Good» and «better»? Nah. Oh look the line I drew looks like a snake. Snaaake, snaaaake... wait, there's a song like this, right? Ah, the badger song! This works: badger, mushroom, snake. Done."
(Glad you liked my 5min example!)
I’d rather see absolutely nothing instead of AI
One would hope, but most people prefer convenience over creation and sadly GenAI, for as much of a ripoff as it is, fills that niche for those people, It shouldn't, I don't support that in the slightest (seriously, if you want fast, easy art, just play with construction paper cutouts, that's still worlds better than typing in a prompt to get something, and it's also kinda fun on its own merits), and I hate GenAI with a passion, but it's what it is.
That said, you can still resist it by just continuing to handmake stuff like you've probably been doing since you could hold a crayon and make marks with it.
Exactly. I'd taoe funny concept crudely drawn stick figures over AI slop
Yes
If it's funny enough, the art is secondary. If the at is perfect, the joke still needs to be at least passable.
Just because it's human made, doesn't mean it's automatically good.
Sometimes the bad art becomes its own part of the joke (xkcd).
