This is true. I have artist friends that are boycotting any company using AI art for their flyers/ads.

I looked at some examples and couldn't tell the difference.

I was just reading comments the other day where people who dragging a company because they apparently used AI for some low level copywriting stuff. No art assets, no code (so far as anyone knows), not actually writing copy but more like "is everything spelled right, does the copy structure flow, have all these points been addressed, etc." Not only that but the only reason anyone even knew is because the company was completely up front and transparent about what they used AI for and what they didn't.

There is a visceral hate in the artistic community toward AI that doesn't really make sense to me tbh.

I think you can't tell the difference until the "art" shows details of something you know well -- a place you've been, out a hobby or sport you do.

I'm thinking of this awful slop "art" I saw on Wayfair yesterday. As a surfer, it's hilarious. That's not how you stand on a board. It's not even a board. And the wave is terrible-- nobody wants to surf shorebreak like that! https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/design-art-4-hawai...

I guess it could be a useful signal-- if you meet someone and they have it up in their home, you know they don't surf.

More generally, I think anything AI produces that's dense with factual details is inherently trash.
