Even beyond just the ethical reasons, AI slop just looks so unsettling to me.
I can't help but notice all the weird details that are off. Then, once I notice them, they get weirder and weider the more I look.
I've tried pointing that out to people who I see routinely posting AI slop like, "Hey, do you notice how in that picture you posted, Santa's gloves look like they might have fingernails, but in a really unsettling, subtle way that makes it so you're never quite sure?"
That sure as hell would make me seriously reconsider using that kind of garbage if it were me, but nope. Ended up having to mute them.
@jargoggles I appreciate that reply because honestly, since its inception, these images have had a dark, foreboding edge that I don't think people say enough about.
