I'm a beginner at drawing, but I'd wager people would choose that over AI.
Right?

Exactly. I'd taoe funny concept crudely drawn stick figures over AI slop
In the beginning, people used simple programs like ms paint with a mouse to draw. I use my phone's editor to draw stuff. Have a cat
Without the ears and with broad paws, it nicely doubles as a sea lion.

Yes
If it's funny enough, the art is secondary. If the at is perfect, the joke still needs to be at least passable.
Just because it's human made, doesn't mean it's automatically good.
Sometimes the bad art becomes its own part of the joke (xkcd).
Man, I suuuuck at drawing and painting. But (up until the last couple weeks I guess) I've been making and posting my shitty ass, MS Paintesque paintings and collages. Why?
Because you and I are humans and creative expression is our fucking right.
Because you don't get better at anything unless you keep doing it.
Because people, at least here, prefer a technically shitty artistic effort to a better looking image made by a insanely thirsty software architecture owned by greedy technocrats.
Because fuck it, we can.
Post those drawings homie.
I consider myself to be alright by hobbyist standards, at least, but here's a watercolor and watercolor crayon painting of a pair of bunnies skating on a frozen pond at night.
And yeah, I kinda love watercolor crayons as a medium, at least in combination with watercolors, and I'm a newbie to watercolor crayons.
Plus, here's an acrylic painting of a mouse building a snowman at night for a bonus pic, and yeah, I know the snow and mouse are supposed to be white, but I gave that whole scene a pink/purple tint for the sake of cuteness.
Also, I very, very much have a preference for traditional media over digital tools mainly because traditional media have always been fun for me to play with, painting in particular I tend to get lost in for hours at a time.
Finally, I'm adding a wax crayon drawing to this post because why not, but here's a wax crayon drawing of Pichu and Dedenne building a snowman, and I'll stop here before this post gets too spammy. And just like with the mouse painting above, I gave this scene a pink/purple tint because that's cute, also, wax crayons are one of my fave drawing media currently alongside oil pastels and chalk in any order.

I was a beginner until I tried this one weird trick: Draw an orgy scene with Sonichu, Shrek, Goku, and Spider-man.
You are welcome in advance.

After the first 100 or so AI images I saw, the novelty of "wow this is technically possible" wore off and now I kind of hate anything generated by ai even if it looks good (which it usually doesn't).
You know why I hate it even more now?
Because unaware people have started using it to generate images of our loved ones, houses, etc.
I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING TRUST A PHOTO OF MY NEPHEWS ANYMORE.
I HATE that. If my friends, family and home aren't refuges against that AI shit, then what the fuck is?!

Same here. AI slop has turned me (and my brother) off of YouTube shorts. Like 80-90% of the content is AI, and you have to play detective for most of them (to find out it's AI generated)
YT in general is increasingly becoming scam central in terms of AI-generated content.

That's assuming OP tags it as AI, though. I don't have that much faith in the people who would spread AI slop in the first place. It's a nice feature, and I'm not shitting on it, but it's less impressive to me once I factor in the human equation.
Or can mods apply the "AI" tag to it? I still need to at least try Piefed.
Admins can apply an AI tag to communities (including remote ones on Lemmy instances) and then all the posts in those communities automatically get the AI tag. Same as NSFW.
I mean admins can label it in Lemmy too. But we just call it "ban" :P
I haven't used it but I have seen piefed peeps talking about it being able to tag it as mods.
In addition to that, there is a feature now (available only to mods) which attempts to automatically determine if a user is posting human or AI content. I don't know what criteria it is using, but the goal seems to be to aid mods in their determination beyond just looking through all their content individually.
So like NSFW (where it also adds NSFL) and bots, PieFed is now turning its sights to go hard after AI slop that is not labeled as such.

Great policy.
I only hope mods can keep up as the deluge washes in. Tons of brand new accounts seem to love spamming channels with slop, then go dead once they've been banned across enough instances
GenAI is somehow more blatant about ripping people off than EL James of all people was when she 'wrote' Fifty Shades in airquotes.
At least she had to change some things around in her godawful recycled fanfic to keep from getting sued for copyright, GenAI doesn't even do that much and that's somehow viewed as acceptable.
Oh, and EL James only ripped off one person with her trash, GenAI blatantly and shamelessly rips off everyone.
