This seems like a good meme. Can someone draw it so that we can replace this slop?

    Imagine you spent decades perfecting a style of hyper-realistic illustration, and now nobody believes you

    I am a bit down today because of the surge of potential clients just wanting me to do exactly this: Recreating slop. Or putting their slop on stuff. I think a silly drawing request is fun if it at least still values the creativity of the indivdual. Describe it to me and let me figure it out. Don't feed me slop. ಥ_ಥ

    sorry, rant over.... It's been that kind of day

    How much are you paying for this commissioned piece of artwork?

    I don't think you understand the apparent purpose of this sub, but I guess there's no rule against self promotion that I'm seeing so isn't it on you to post your rates?

    This is probably going to be an unpopular opinion, but I think memes are the only thing AI should be used for. No one is gong to pay anyone to use it, it's better if it's bad and it has quick turn around. All other forms of art, fuck you, pay an artist instead of stealing from them.

    I disagree, shitty paint drawings or stickmen are million times better than AI slop. Glossy AI images suck the fun away, for me at least.

    Nah, if someone trains an AI on their own art, that must be pretty fun. I saw good artists doing this and well those pictures are clearly much worse than original drawings, but still quite meme-exploitable and original. Not glossy of course, who draws glossy stuff anyway?

    Well, the OP image looks terrible for instance.

    I feel like using AI for memes is like cooking food with a flamethrower. They are much better when they are obviously low-effort. GenAI images try really hard to hide how little effort was involved in their creation.

    yeah, this one is just repulsive, I agree with that.

    however it kind of feels like those pieces of art that are purposefully repulsive, like a kid with a rat in mouth or something. It's kind of complicated enough for AI-metairony-proAI-antiAI-memes to be a sick form of art. It just got to be, like, purposeful, I guess. Once you can't explain it really, it starts working.

    Someone told me that art is something that is created in an act of destroying the previous answer to question "what is art?"

    Maybe it's just me, turning a piece of shit into an artpiece with my equally shitty prose right now. Look, mom, I'm an artist!

    I strongly disagree. All AI generated content, meme or otherwise, will earn an unapologetic downvote from me. This whole generative AI trend is a fucking nuisance and I hate everything about it.
