Really not liking the new trend of non-visual arts academics using AI to create graphics for their blogs, slide presentations, videos, etc.
VALUE HUMAN LABOR & CREATIVITY
We already know that this AI was created by ripping off visual artists without consent or compensation. When you use AI to goose up your work instead of using public domain, the right CC license, legit stock licensing or work you've commissioned. you are engaging in academic misconduct, in my opinion.
@ml @academicchatter Why does it matter? Do people read those blogs, slide presentations, or videos for the pictures they contain? If they don't care about the quality and their audience doesn't care about the quality, and they just need something to fill the blanks, why make another human put in the work for something that ultimately is totally meaningless?
Let a machine handle that busywork.
@LouisIngenthron Why even have it then if neither author nor audience care one jot for it?
This is as puzzling to me as the „it can turn bullet points into walls of text“ and „it can turn walls of text into bullet points“ feature pair that’s commonly touted as wonderful capabilities of LLMs.
How would that make the world better/safer/more beautiful?

@Landa @ml @academicchatter Same reason for hotel art: to fill space. Not everything in life has to be bespoke.
