According to The Guardian, artists are now fighting AI slop with a new aesthetic called “anti-slop.”

This style embraces the handmade, imperfect, and homespun. #NotByAI

After reading millions of comments from Reddit and Hacker News, a new study found a significant increase in accusations of AI use.

Here's the concerning part: many of these accusations come from perceived inauthenticity instead of actual evidence of AI use.

Couch too soft? Worry no more! A human named Rodney Harris sculpted a brick sofa just for you.

It sits randomly at a nursery school in Bristol, UK.

Pretty hardcore if you ask me. #NotByAI

Backrooms director Kane Parsons spoke out against AI in filmmaking. 🎉

While Martin Scorsese recently said he uses AI-generated storyboards to help communicate what he sees in his head, filmmaker Boots Riley criticized Scorsese for his attempt to push the industry toward AI.

Backrooms' Kane Parsons, on the other hand, believes that AI-generated content lacks the human touch and diminishes creative specificity.

Can you guess what this beautiful language is?

This 1940 painting by surrealist artist Leonora Carrington will be displayed for the first time at London’s Freud Museum.

Carrington suffered a breakdown in Madrid during WW II but encouraged by her psychiatrist, she started painting, and created something that is so surreal and yet full of emotion.

The breakdown, the terror of war, the confinement, and the act of painting from the experience is something AI can never do. #NotByAI

AI or no AI? If AI, how much?

At the festival, Japanese director Fukada argued that AI skips the human creative process and "jumps straight to the result."

He is not alone. Filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro and Seth Rogen all warned that AI can hollow out the creative process.

The process is the point. 💆

Remember “Good Advice Cupcake” from BuzzFeed? Now Amazon and BuzzFeed are turning it into an AI-generated animation.

“This is an assault on artists everywhere,” said original creator Loryn Brantz.

BuzzFeed, however, says it owns the IP — “not Loryn, who is a former employee” — and is excited to use new technology to give “Good Advice Cupcake” a new life.

Oh no no no, this is not a real rug.

Hand-carved into the wooden floor by a human named Selva Aparicio, this artwork turned her memory of her mother’s old rug into permanent art. ❤️ #NotByAI
