“AI is a tool when it comes to AI art”
I find that rather dumb. Because tools are made to help people. You use a hammer to nail things, for example. You don’t leave the hammer to do all the nailing by itself. If your only involvement there is just with your prompt, then you didn’t do anything, the computer did. This would be like saying “I commissioned a drawing from this artist and told them what to do, therefore I made this drawing and this artist is a tool”.
The irony here is that the top image looks AI generated but the bottom image appears to be a real photo.
How so? I tried to check for “obvious logical errors”, and they turned out to be not that.
-
weird miniature plate of basil
-
spaghetti on fork is on top of, not coming out of, main plate, and the perspective where the bottom of the hanging noodles falls infront of the plated noodles looks weird
-
hand holding fork weirdly
-
spaghetti rests impossibly on top of fork, not through the tines
-
left most noodle, the short one sticking out, seems to pass under the two noodles above it without displacing them
-
the noodles wrapped around the base of the fork look “off”
-
top right tomato on foreground plate looks like a Frisbee
-
water glass is refracting the plate behind it above the water line as if it’s below the water line
Interestingly I think the top “I made this” looks AI generated and the bottom image depiction of AI slop was an actual photo from alamy.
Canned art
I mean, this does not feel like a point for non AI use. I would still say I made spaghetti or chicken noodle soup or garlic bread or pizza I’d I made it from the can or frozen. I don’t use AI imagery though.
One involves boiling water, getting the time right for doneness, making or heating the sauce. It can also turn out well the more skill someone has.
The other is premade in a can and will always be mediocre slop. It is a perfect comparison.
Perfect comparison, eh?
Well, having just made pomodoro sauce from fresh tomatoes, according to this recipe from Marco Pierre White, and in it, he says the secret he was told is 50% fresh and 50% tinned.
Yes pure AI slop sucks but the tech is a pretty nifty tool in certain situations.
