Guys, do you think there is such a think such as AI phobia, cause I think I have that. Like I’m not scared of it, but I’m just utterly disgusted by it.
And with the amount of the slop I see on social media, the news and idk it kind of removes my trust for that artist or whatever person. And people are falling for this crap (even me 😭). Like my mom could just send me a picture with ‘good morning sunshine’ with the sun smiling or whatever and I instantly get revolted by the images because I know they’re AI.
Yeah, maybe some people some people find it funny, useful, but damn IT’S SCARY. I lowkey don’t wanna be scrolling or finding inspiration from AI images/ videos that are soulless and made to deceive people.
AND THE AUDACITY OF PEOPLE CLAIMING IT AS THEIR OWN
I’m so sorry for this rant, it’s probably poorly structured, sorry, but it just pisses me off.

You're totally right to feel that way, 😤 I feel instant disgust as soon as I realize something is AI, it is useful indeed, but for creation like art, movies, stories?! It's just unacceptable for me. Of course, people can use it for research, learning and else but just puking something out and calling it "your creation"¿ That's another level of delusion out there
I feel the same way 😭 I hate how publicly accessible it has become, and how GOOD/CONVINCING it looks. I hate to say it, but comparing AI generated things to how it was in 2023, or even last year, it’s gotten more convincing and it makes me so mad when I fall for one on accident.
We shouldn’t have to look out for every detail on something to see if it’s real or fake :/
I don’t think it’s a phobia because phobias are irrational. I feel like your disgust by it comes from a very reasonable and valid place.
