I don’t care for AI slop.

[–] Gaylactus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I would not categorize this at slop though. An besides, there is no way that was AI slop only, most likely there was some post done in Photoshop or some other graphics editing tool. Digital artists also to some extent benefit from using digital tools that artists didn't enjoyed some 40 years ago, most noticeably, UNDO. When I was in college (late 90's), my teachers (and most specifically my drawing teacher) often would criticize me for preferring to finish my illustrations with tools like Photoshop, and on some instances, they even downgraded my grade, only because they thought that a digital illustration (not AI) was less valuable than a "watercolor or some traditional media".

As an artist and designer myself I also feel dismayed by the rise of generative AI, but because for me art is more performative than anything else, I really thing that categorizing this as "slop", is a stretch.

I think you're thinking of Karoline Leavitt. There are memes about that for her, I think.
