This reminds me so much of the HDR photo craze. I remember seeing booths just like this!
Going to local restaurants/attractions and seeing shitty “art” with price tags starting over $200. They were all bad digital photos, taken with no comprehension or awareness of lighting, perspective, composition, etc. Cloddishly fiddle with various sliders, maybe delete the entire green color channel for some reason, hey I discovered this filter called Posterize, hit print.
A third of them were angle shots of the photo-takers modded Subaru. I’m trying to paint a picture here, don’t take it literally.
I am sincerely hoping, despite my positions against AI for most applications, that there will be some positive effects in the end from this AIArt baloney.
I think the same-y-ness of what the visual generators are outputting will wear so thin on people, so quickly. Because in a broad sense they’re all drawing from the same “averaging out”. And maybe there will be a bit of a cultural backlash, if you will, where people unconsciously become attracted back to hand made things. I don’t think we as a huge collective blob of humanity will be able to stand hearing the same note over and over.
Maybe I’m deluding myself, hell I probably am to a degree.
