Why would you use ai to generate something you could just take a picture of?

I don't have a hamster that folds clothes, though that is now on the list to teach my cats
You’re generating AI images of hamsters on your weekend?
Imagine watermarking AI slop so no one steals your stolen work
Imagine putting your name on AI slop. That doesn't even make legal sense, you can't claim to have "made" it. Since you didn't, effectively nobody did.
Actually to me it kinda just looks like quick and poor Photoshop.
Oh, someone is so protective about their AI generated meme they watermarked it?
It's an interesting case... the dryer image looks AI-generated (bc of the weird controls at the top) and the little hamster-outfit also looks generated (bc of the belt ornament) but it looks like several elements were manually edited together:
- the hamster
- the hamster-outfit
- the green outfit in the dryer
- the dryer image
Note the lighting differences in the hamster-outfit and in the green outfit.
CAVEAT: I'm not familiar with the latest AI-generation tools, maybe this is just what it looks like now. Also, I'm not defending this "nurungi hamster" person, they coulda just taken a picture of a dryer.
Remember AI steals work from artists and puts their livelihood at risk. Let's not use this nonsense.
Aren't memes just taking images without paying royalties anyway? I agree with you in principle, but dumb memes aren't the thing that'll bring down artists.
Usually I'd agree, but there's a watermark on this one
Literally just came back from filling the washing machine. Are you stalking me?
I too have just returned after completing this task.
I'm in the cupboard! Please can I have a cup of tea?
Yikes, AI-slob.
