I hate this so much.
I like to have reference images when I do pixel art and now I can’t find pictures of things.
I find the AI slop of it instead…
Whenever you search, put before:2023 and you’ll cut almost all slop out.
Curious: what tools do you use for pixel art? I made a Playdate game, and just fooled around in GIMP, but it could have been a lot easier.
I use Aseprite and love it.
You can pay the $19 (something llike that) to the Dev or, if you know how, you can compile it yourself for free.
It’s just for pixel art and animating, so it’s nicely stripped down for that purpose imo.
it’s on sale for $13!!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/431730/Aseprite/
it’s such an intuitive tool for these purposes
Always love to see!
I got it through Humble Bundle years ago.
I agree! It’s quite intuitive to me.
Check out Pixelorama for an alternative to Aseprite.
500px is still an okay site, for now
Oh, same but for chalk art! I tried using an AI image as reference that I found in a search and it’s not the same. It’s a watered down version of what I want. It’s all perfectly boring.
Trypophobia successfully triggered
I’d gone years without being too wigged out about it until now, eugh. Probably doesn’t help that I recently read a body horror novel.
Rabbit hole: It didn’t occur to me before now that the supernormal stimulus aspect of genai also applies to things that trigger phobias or strong disgust reactions (for the people who want to be pedants about the word trypophobia). I wonder if people with spider phobias rate AI images as scarier than real images of spiders?
Edit: omg why can’t I hide a post on piefed 😭
makes me question why op posted this at all.
Trypophilia
Can confirm this one is pretty bad. Plus my hatred of that ai look that’s a lot of bleh
Then what’s the point of Stock Images if its just gonna be AI.
To make money. They don’t care what they sell only that they can sell it without copyright
”Premium”
OW MY EYES DAMMIT OP SHIT PUT THIS NSFL!!!
Sorry I put it now
I would pay for this horror to never appear on my screen again.
New AI monthly subscription model. $30 a month or your worst nightmares flash on your screen uncontrollably from time-to-time. More like the early internet, I suppose.
some dystopian horror shit right there.
I want to puke so much looking at the fourth one, yet I find it obsessive to look at, almost driven by a compulsion. Is this an illness?
Honestly, that’s fine so long as AI images are tagged appropriately, filterable, and priced accordingly. Stock images is one of few legitimate uses for AI, in my opinion.
looks like a good investment
Just now realizing AI will tank all the paid photo places. Also ,just asked ChatGPT if it could make vector images and is appears it can. Now I can feed my vinyl cutter!
“make a simple black and white vector image of the millennium falcon”
Crap. Appears to be hung, as usual. I’ll post output if I ever get it.
Don’t bother posting it please mate 👍
“Let’s post about using gen AI in a community called ‘fuck AI’!”
Thanks for outing yourself. Block
