Putting your career and reputation on the line for what. AI psychosis is real after all.
"It either is AI-generated slop or it looks like AI-generated slop for no artistic or thematic reason whatsoever."
The artistic and thematic reason is obvious. It's a commentary on the show and AI art in general. To ignore this message because it "looks like AI" devalues the entire concept of human art.
That photo is horrendous, so I sure hope for the artists sake it was a 30s prompt job.
I will push back slightly on the idea that slop is only slop because it's bad. AI art will always be slop because of its very nature, it's not even possible to describe ai art as "good" because that's not a quality it can even possess.
Does Gruber know he's slop?
