mthie"I am starting a petition to no longer refer to AI "art" as AI art but instead as Computer-Rendered Artificial Pictures (CRAP).
Pass it on."
ralf tauscher 
@mthie i like. will adopt that immediatly ;)
Ænðr E. Feldstraw@mthie You heard of CAD and CRD, now be ready for CRAP!
JWcph, Radicalized By Decency@mthie Maybe we can run a dual process & include the general term to replace "AI" - I suggest "Automated Superfast Statistics", or ASS.

Brett Kromkamp@mthie I can definitely get on-board with this idea... CRAP it is, then 😉

@mthie 10/10
We need one for ai music too...how about Synthetic Human-Independent Tunes (SHIT)
Kyberpunk 
🔞@mthie YES. Perfect
A-nom-nom-nom-aly BSC SSC@mthie We've been referring to it as a Plagiarising Insidious Synthesis System (PISS)
einfachnurRoland@Anomnomnomaly
Matches the polish right wing party.
That's just an oversight, isn't it? Or is it?
Marcus Adams@mthie This is some straight up Richard Stallman type stuff and I'm all for it, lol.
Karl Schwartz, Artist advocateAI Art: How can it be expressive if it's not human?
But I suppose, like photography, the expressive bit can come from the selection (which generated image the artist chooses to showcase?) - and from the instruction given to the agent.
It leaves out the ritual and the joy of the process that can only come from making it by hand.
In a world teeming with #AI images, the rare thing, the valued thing, will be the art made by the hand and conceived by the mind of a human being.
Noodlemaz@lymphomation @mthie except a person points a camera, adjusts the settings, clicks the shutter, processes (darkroom or lightroom/digital equivalent) and post-processes. They were in a place to capture it.
AI has chewed up every human-produced work on the Internet. It spits out a collage of that theft when someone asks it to.
There is a gulf of difference, and zero skill in the latter.
Indeed I'd say it's just a lack of imagination that leads prompt jockeys to think they're doing something.
I generally agree with all of the issues cited. I don't see the need to demonize people who engage in it ... but I agree that it's not art - it's not expressive, it's too easy - all of that.
@lymphomation @mthie it's using the mass theft for personal gain or, worse, brief amusement. I think there's a big issue with that.
More on the topic of #AI as #art - just my take: Are #AI-generated Images Works of Art?

Yeray ✏️ ✂️ 🎲@mthie the term "slop" is gaining traction and I like that.
joachim@carbonara @mthie I use 'slop' a lot, but wondering about 'garbaige', to match 'aidiots' for the people who generate it.
cmdrSprocket@mthie Also holds just fine for Copilot and such:
Computer Rendered Artificial Programs
Rupert Reynolds@mthie Spot on :-)
pulusound@mthie this description seems broad enough to apply to vast amounts of human-created computer art, though. 3d art, algorithmic art, etc. i think more specificity is needed
levampyre@mthie 😂 Love it!
yuhasz01AI= artificial ignorance.
Cassandrich@mthie Rendered is too broad and too generous.
How about regurgitated?
EndicottRoad59@mthie An apt description.
@mthie AI slop has caught on pretty well.

Ollie 🇪🇺🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🇺🇦@mthie This. Love it. Even changed my Mastodon filter title to CRAP.
morfil (any)🌈@mthie halfway there, should add based on stolen stuff . So boss-crap
popey@mthie I call it "EI" which sounds close enough. It stands for "Excitable Intern" which is how a lot of modern LLMs act.. :)
André Rodenburg@mthie I’m sure Ai Weiwei approves of this message.
James 🦉 #FBPE 🇪🇺@mthie Or Fake Art (FART)
Thorne@mthie
I think I'll stick with Sparkling Art Theft.
CRAP is pretty accurate, tho.
Scaea - Social@mthie YES!
I also petition that LLM AI stuff no longer be called "artificial intelligence" but "Plagiarism Software", for that is what it is.
Not as neat an acronym, tho 😄
Angua 
@mthie
Or maybe Computer-Rendered Artificial Pictures For Egregiously Stupid Tossers (CRAPFEST)?

si_irinigood idea
Leonardo Ferreira FontenelleNice acronym, but CGI and procedural art are also rendered by computerers
Jumping Mouse@mthie
Let me just say, "Boy, Howdy!"
Remember that the operative and defining word in the phrase "Artificial Intelligence" is "artificial." That's the word that puts the "a" in CRAP. 👍 😉

@mthie *Thank you, Helen Ault. Consider that petition signed.
fdm_a@mthie Totally agree here!
@mthie Passed it on ...
Matthew Malthouse
Michael Mogensen@mthie
Great name 😃
Great name 😃
BakersRelay@mthie Indeed.
KevinOnEarth@mthie
There is nothing "intelligent" whatsoever in "AI" anyway.
It's simply an Analysis>Search>Synthesis (or "ASS") algorithm built on statistical probability.

Jyrgen N@mthie I love this so much.
Jared White (ResistanceNet ✊)@mthie I find myself physically repulsed, nauseated even any time I am unfortunate enough to come across a piece of CRAP.
It most certainly is not art, and not appealing in any aesthetic sense whatsoever!
VHG 🇪🇺🇺🇦@mthie like vegan meat is no meat or wegan milk is no milk. All for it
Torger Åge Sinnes@mthie CRAP 2.0. Vista Pro was great!
Paul - Antifa. LGBTQ+ safe.@mthie I also refuse to write 'that' in capitals. It's ai if I have to refer to it.
