Hot take: The best rule you can have to avoid "art" slop is a requirement to give credit/attribution to the artist for anything you post.

@dalias @emilvolk just make sure that whoever is credited isn’t just another slopulator.

They’ll gladly take credit for the slop they pump out too sometimes.

@colinstu @dalias @emilvolk

but there's also a special kind of visual slopper that will credit generated images to (mostly fictional) artists, I guess to make them more "genuine". I've seen a few Tumblr accounts do that, as well as a pseudo "art education" company posting made up paintings of famous painters with a title & date & analysis as if they were real.

in summary: fuck all these people

@yhancik @colinstu @emilvolk Ok, it definitely stops ppl who are doing it unwittingly tho. Because when they go to repost slop & try to find who to credit, they realize there is no one discoverable to credit.
