Are people's standards so low they'll really take any randomly generated garbage as long as it kinda looks like a real human drew it, and as long as you squint hard enough to ignore all the basic anatomy the computer fucked up or the nonsensical fever dream backgrounds?
There's so much well drawn porn art on the internet it baffles me one would be so hard pressed for it to resort to this stuff.
I agree. Even if the AI image looks correct and pleasant at first glance, it rarely happens when you can't find problems with the same anatomy (it's not even about such problematic fingers, but, for example, in elongated limbs), lighting and other things. There is really a lot of high-quality content on the Internet for every taste. BUT I still don't agree that those who use artificial intelligence or who like generated work have low standards. Somehow it doesn't sound quite right. An AI image can be elementary easier and faster to obtain (to some extent, for example, if there is a model that consistently produces images that you like). It is also worth noting the creation of "unique" content. For example, I like poison ivy from DC and I want to see her in some non-standard pose, I was looking for sites with tag filtering, without this filtering... nothing, but then I found Laura with a suitable pose or even created her myself. How do the generated images differ from the originals? Yes, even if you do not take into account the numerous versions of the girls from dandon, you can still tell with decent accuracy where she painted and where she did not. Is such creativity worth the money? Here everyone decides for himself, excluding legal issues, a competently generated image is also a job and not always in a couple of clicks. Do I have anything against such creativity? I think not. After all, this not only allows you to get personalized content in the style of your favorite author, but also the author may get something new from the works of different people. The main thing is not to forget about the simple respect for the author of the style, at least leaving links to social networks, patreon, etc.
P.S. I do not defend / justify / reproach anyone, but simply express my opinion
