Comment on I put my heart and soul into this AI but nobody cares

I suspect people are reading the headline and downvoting this post.

The article covers how a popular AI trend on social media is making talentless hacks money by posting AI generated images of “family members” stood by a piece of art and saying “my grandfather carved this but nobody appreciates his work”. Then gullible people on Facebook willingly give them money believing it’s real.

Fair, but then isn’t the headline quite bad ?

It seems not RTFA is a time honoured tradition we’ve carried with us from Slashdot, to reddit, and now to Lemmy.

  I’ve too noticed the very same thing even over in the piracy community where they’re complaining about the use of AI art for banner / post images.
  
  It’s kinda one of those irrational hates when like you guys say it’s an insta downvote for the content.
  
  So yeah, upvoted (after reading the fucking ~~article~~ content)

To be fair. That kind of scam is as old as time. I mean many beggars will chew your ears off to get you to give them money. Many work in groups or are forced to to do it. Of course they‘re doing it on Faceboook too because that‘s where people‘s attention is nowadays but AI isn‘t really escalating the problem much. It‘s just shifting from one place to another.
