I have less hate for AI than the general population of Lemmy but I'm certainly not a fan.
To me, AI slop is a random schmuck typing in "make an image of two people laughing together" and then takes the first result (riddled with errors) and posts it to their blog, article, or social media to supplement whatever story they are telling or point they are trying to make.
If the image has purpose, or a good concept, then I might give it some credit. If they creator has a great idea or joke, and they do not have the ability to draw it themselves, I'm not opposed to them using AI to help create their vision.
For example, my dad really enjoyed Far Side comics and often he would come up with his own, but he can't draw, so he would just have to explain to us what the picture would look like and what the caption would be. If he used AI to create these visions of his, It's probably the only way that he could share his jokes with the world. And it's not like he's taking money from an artist who needs work, because he'd never pay to have them professionally created. If he can't share them, they will die with him.
If it's a tool to help you effectively tell your story, I'm ok with it. But if you're just cranking out fake doorbell videos and implying they are real, for hits on social, GTFO.
