A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I partially agree
If you're an independent creator, I would judge you heavily for using AI, it's your work, put in effort to things you dedicate, or focus elsewhere with stock photos as filler, AI is the middle of the road but it simultaneously means a lack of effort and also a lack of care to even improve it
For businesses, it would immediately make me rank it lesser but I wouldn't be as upset compared to independent creators, businesses will do whatever to attract the most people for least and it is especially limiting if you're a small businesses. It does not inspire confidence but it is acceptable.
if anything, it's less acceptable for businesses to exploit artists because if they can't afford to pay them, they shouldn't be in business
Remember when artists often had to deal with assholes saying "Why are you charging for this? My 12yo nephew can make the same thing!" Well, AI has finally allowed said assholes to use their "nephews". Sure, buddy, you "made it yourself", but since you give no shits about quality, everyone will notice it's slop.
instead of replacing artists with AI they should replace the customers with AI agents having access to their credit cards that don't make you wanna punch them /j
