>I've found that the problem appears to be that (in English at least) the word "art" is used to describe both of these things, and people keep flaming each other when their definitions don't align ("its not real art bcoz it haz no SOULLLZ!!!").
yup, you've hit the nail right on the head here. people conflate both things together when they are entirely different and act like the rise of AI is the death of human expression. but frankly, if your art can be replaced by a computer, then I think your art was just a commodity rather than something uniquely valuable. ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌

>Have you noticed a decrease in the quality of search engine results starting mid-2024? I honestly believe Google used to be more reliable in 2014.
Yeah, search engines are still usable for me, but I worry about the day when they're so trash that they're useless. The internet will become a smaller place without working search engines, and not in a good way I think.

>But yes, I would like the option to filter out AI images, just like how I like having the option to filter out SFMs, Minecraft and IRL images if I so choose.
>It doesn't help that people making AI images don't like tagging them as AI because of the massive risk of mob brigades on the internet.
yeah, it's not just the risk of being mobbed by hysterical zealots (which is not an exaggeration of many anti-AI people, I am sorry to say (´～`)), but the anti-AI stigma is intimidating, too. they think, "If I use AI in my work, will I become hated and ignored by people who won't even try to look at it?" in that sense, anti-AI crusaders are getting their way, for now. what I expect, though, is that as more people use AI properly and are open about their usage, that stigma will begin to fade into something milder: no one can be angry forever, after all. and even if today's people may never fully accept AI, the next generation and the generation after that probably will if patterns continue.
