Last year, I've seen Christmas cards for sale that I can just tell were AI generated.
Kind of made me feel it defeats the point of the "spirit" of Christmas if these Christmas cards had no spirit put into them.

No.1200495
>>1200493>>1200493Low effort companies skirting around spending on their branding have always been a thing. AI has simply made being cheap and scammy even easier, not created the option out of thin air. And right now there are tons of products openly mocking AI in their own marketing as well, or making the lack of any genAI a selling point.
You use th e word "bubble", and while GenAI is certainly not going away (again, cheap shit to make a quick buck has existed forever), the insistence on slapping it on literally everything will. AI genuinely cannot replace anyone. But it can look almost-passable enough for whoevers shilling it to convince bosses that it can.
It sucks and will suck for a while. But I am certain the bubble WILL pop.

>>1200493I still believe that there will always be a customer-base for hand-drawn art.
When cinema was invented, there were people who were afraid theatre would be redundant.
When televisions were introduced to homes, people were afraid cinema would be redundant.
When streaming services were introduced, especially around 2016's epidemic, people were concerned cinema would be redundant once again.
I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't like to mess around with AI generators every now and again, but I (and I'm sure a lot of people) have their own ethical perspectives on what it should be used for.
For example, i feel iffy over the thought of buying Christmas cards or cheap products with obvious AI-genarated art on packaging because you're technically buying something that has AI generated content on it. But as
>>1200495 said, they were low-effort small-time companies just find it as another means to market from when before they would just use some cheaply squiggled clown or something for the packaging.
No.1200498
>>1200497>>1200497And a quick scribble would still be preferable because someone actually had to do a base minimum of work for it.
They wouldn't have. Companies like these would simply have used stock ever so slightly altered clip art, or straight up just yanked something copyrighted and counting on no one noticing or caring.
I have seen both in the wild and called them out with the same fervor I do for AI now.
AI really has added very little that is actually particularly new. It has just eliminated the ever so slightly barrier of effort that was still needed to pull off scams or quick turnarounds, which is bad enough.

>>1200496AI has become a quick, easy replacementfor a lot of stuff.
And you don't lose only creativity, but also problem solving skills.
Whether you use AI to create art, AI to generate letters and text or use it to pass courses, or you use AI to generate code to keep a website running.
It's kinda like that Wall-E bit, where everyone just sits in a chair and has robots do everything for them.
Critical thinking could be a dying art.
