The fediverse used to feel pretty anti-ai, but over the past month or two I’ve noticed a LOT of generated memes and images, and they tend to have positive votes.

Has there been a sudden culture shift here? Or is there a substantial percentage of people just unable to tell the difference anymore?

    I think the appeal of seeing stuff that people make is that it reflects the humans who made it.

    I’m generally not especially interested in what an algorithm produces, at least not in the same way or for the same reason as I am things made by people.

    I don’t know what gen ai could produce that I would sincerely find good, it lacks the humanity that gives that product any worth.

      i mean if a person spends enough time tweaking the prompt and stuff to get preciely what they want, then it’s to some degree reflecting the human who “”“made”“” it, like someone putting together a collage is selecting the images to use.
