This has nothing to do with that specific image, and more to do with the fact that it is AI generated. The complaint is that you should have either done the art yourself or had someone do it for you rather than let AI do it.
I’m not taking a side here, I’m just explaining what happened.
There is a great deal of worry about two things: 1, real creative people are being displaced since many no longer feel they need their services. 2, AI is not creative and cannot generate real art. It is really used only by people who cannot make art and usually cannot tell the difference.
It’s AI generated and most Lemmings are enraged by AI for reasons I don’t fully understand, possibly due to misinformation about its environmental costs.
I’m aware many people here have a lot of tech knowledge. I don’t see how that proves what I wrote was wrong. Firstly because there are also a substantial number who don’t fit that mold. And secondly because experts can also get caught up in groupthink and misinformation. Especially on topics outside their specific subfield.
People who are into technology tend to know a little bit about a lot of things that still rises well beyond the level of the average person. You don’t get onto Lemmy without having some tech ability unless someone helped you set it up.

possibly due to misinformation about its environmental costs.
You made a very strong set of assumptions:
The environmental cost is exaggerated
People are misinformed about it
You then failed to substantiate your claim with any argument or evidence.
The rage is wild. However, once in a while AI has its uses. I could spend a lot of time producing an image from scratch on Photoshop which used AI or get told it’s AI. I guess making images is bad unless it’s hand drawn artisan imagery. 🤷
The image looks pretty good, tbh. Why are you saying it’s slop?

To be clear, I didn’t post the image.
Why “should” people use Photoshop to make this image, instead of generative AI?

People on Lemmy exist at a very high technical level. This place is full of people with advanced degrees in STEM.
Ok? What’s your point?
That your assessment is very wrong. You may not understand the average person here or who they are.

Give up, there’s really no point trying to argue on the internet with anyone that has such a smug superiority complex.
