AI generated images and texts are destroying the Cannabis Community?

[Prempavee]

Now I know, people who love AI generated images they really love those images they create and they can get very upset when you try to tell them that you don't like.

I think this is happening because to make those images costs them money and time and also because they helped the machine to design a final result that is step by step psychologically adapted and perfectly made to have a grip on their psyche

They keep giving inputs to the machine and inspect images untill are coming out those that can generate on them stupor and surprise to the point that they feel and think: "Oh wow ! This is amazing! I have to share the other people will be amazed too".

Anyway when they share this images are not so popular as they wished and instead they even cause repulsion and heavy critics. Why this happens?

For several reasons:

1 - the image (text) was designed following the guidelines of the AI customer and his taste. The goal of AI is enter his psyche to induce him to search more and spend more credits. AI pursue the satisfaction of who is using it in that moment, it cannot really predict others reactions on future time that is the ability of the living and sentient creature only.

2- AI is considered by many, and with reason, not eco-friendly and socially negative so when they see that kind of content they reject

3- AI, on most cases, has a recognizable style and some people (like me) do not like that style even I agree that some images AI generated sometimes are intriguing, still I don't like to watch them too much they have some dark noir style that is a bit repugnant to me. As they are "painted" by something that is not alive I think they have the style of the death like the death in person is the author and her aura it reflects on what is produced. Also AI generated images contain many errors and they look "cheap". Texts also are a bit twisted and manipulative.

So the question on this topic is "AI generated images and texts are destroying the Cannabis Community?"

Why I make this question? Because recently on the major social networks (but not only there) we are observing how so many people in the cannabis community has begun to publish AI generated content and so many others complain about it with them and they have arguments and they stop to follow to eachothers or they even become heavy haters of one another.

I like to say that I belive that sometimes we can use AI images and text, like does @Dien-Amok on his Topic "States of Minds" for example. I think if you use that way is okay because he do not publish things that are important he just send flashes. But if you use to make the poster of your genetics already becomes more borderline. Wasn't better a photo of a bud? or a text with a drawing? And if you use to publish important news , like announcements of a newspaper, or canna activism I think the line becomes broken and you are stepping in a situation where so many will take distance from you and you will lose credibility. So what do you think about? Is this a real problem? and if you feel it is how we can fix it?

Cover image not AI generated. Is the detail of a photo of my beautiful cat "Thunder". I publish here in his memory as he recently died poisoned maybe by a snake.

Hmm I'm in conflict with myself on this topic .

My point being , 2 sentences that make kinda both sense imo.

AI makes it that every one can be an artist . Which goes indeed on killing the soul or the expression the artwork contains.

Then if one thinks a bit further, this makes sense as well

AI enables poor people to express art in a world where it is privileged (mostly rich kids) studying at art academy .

guess I can not enter the debate as the debate is still ongoing in my inner self .

All that I can say is , would never use it, rather grow real plants in stead of drawing AI fantasy that is non smokable , non double tokable, that's not good for me personally

Most of the best artist of human history where broken.. So most of good art is not connected with money. Eventually how to make money with art is connected with money because rich people they get educated on how to make more money, but that is another story

If you "make Art" with AI you are not making anything else than give text inputs to a machine that elaborate for you.

Also is not for free. Have you tried? Is kind of expensive ..

I love the final conclusions you made out of this reasoning

[Dc]

That's true , many artists or even great historians, scientists came from the lower classes .

Used to play around a bit on grok free , but meh boring , and started asking questions pretending I was a dragon, but it told me should look for help and gave me links of shrinks and therapy​, avoiding AI since then, not easy to be a dragon these days

O no , Rip Thunder

in other words "SHOW WHAT YOU GROW" on the forum. No need to jazz it up! Learn from one another.

As to AI, I like that search draws from all over, gives you an overview and points you towrds further reference on your research.

I reject AI software platforms as my own artistic development tool. Artistically it has wonderful possibilities as a tool. Like everything bad spirits overwhelm us.

I use photoshop to process the photos I find on the public domain. Be careful downloading photos some contain annoying malware and takes hours to remove.

AI "IT IS WHAT IT IS" Be careful

Your cover image of Thunder is zuzai (zuzai use zero artificial intelligence).

Zuzai, a new word, indicates the absence of AI

Ooh so sorry to hear about thunder

I'm sceptic to AI, it gives many wrong answers. The pictures many times gives an uncomfortable vibe a negative one

[Chathigh]

The question should be, “may i?” instead of ai!

[Prempavee]

Zuzai!
