I made my most recent meme in kolourpaint

As long as there's a pepper in there

I just stopped using it alltogether. I stopped being creative. That's so fucked, lol. They killed my creativity.

Now I channel my energy to hating society.

Don't think that's what's happening.

I suspect it's similar to my coworkers who refer to everything that uses any kind of networking as "Wi-Fi."

How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI?

It's just that most people don't know what you mean when you say something is "AI generated". With context clues, they tie back to terms they're already familiar with, and are associated with fake computer generated imagery ("that's Photoshopped").

I think most people have never even seen Adobe Photoshop, the actual software. Like, literally never laid their eyes on the gray window, the layers and tool panels, etc, yet they've still thrown the term "photoshopped" around.

Most people can't tell the difference between the two, probably because they don't know how either of them works. And just like others have said, it's the same thing with CGI. I was watching Avatar 2 the other day and one of my friends said something about the graphics like "oh, that's probably AI", and I angrily replied "do you have any idea of how many dozens, if not hundreds of people painstakingly worked on this movie's CGI??"

Is it that they can't differentiate them or that they don't care to? For instance; I play online RPGs, most people make tons of art for their characters, businesses, etc. majority of the time it is AI slop but sometimes it's just shit edits...I don't care for either so I'll just dismiss anything with shit filters or unnatural construction/orientation as AI slop and move on because it saves time and brain space...oh fuck I'm turning into Dr Cox in my old age...

Hey now, pumping out memes in Photoshop is an art form that takes real human effort!

Not really, because AI is taking their jobs away

Nah, they'll add AI features and charge you double per month (if that didn't already happen. Sometimes I confuse the timeline)

Yeah, I think we may keep photoshopped in the vernacular to describe real photos that have been edited.

There is a big difference between edited and completely fabricated.

They actually work in tandem now. And honestly, some of the generative stuff in Adobe products I find genuinely useful. Specifically I really like the AI noise reduction in Lightroom. It allows people with less-expensive cameras to have better end results.

AI isn't magic. It's been my experience trying to seriously work with it that I realize that it would be easier just to do it myself in Photoshop.

Edit:

Actually, now it's Krita. I'm moving away from PS.

Now hold on on a minute. Are you seriously trying to tell me repeatedly prompting an AI agent with, "That person is supposed to have FIVE fingers. Not four. Not six. Five. People have FIVE fingers. What the hell is wrong with you!?" doesnt constitute "effort"??

/s

It's not a meme if the graphics aren't shitty

Art is what now?

I can tell it's slop because of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few slops in my time
