Art is what defines a society is its Art. But what is remembered is the true moment where someone makes work that speaks a universal language. A.i is the attempt to cross this boundary of creating a style and aesthetic that will be asserted by the masses as the accepted Universal language. Yet A.i is nothing but a mask. The machine can not interface with the true resonance that humans hold within their body. Its a known fact that humans hold a certain frequency and electricity that keeps there heart and brain running the body for survival in dynamic situations. Computers can not mimic the resonance it can only hypothesise the resonance or assume it through a frequency generator or a set of mathematical equations. The amount of marketing and money thrown at the image generators and
What is SLOPism?
What is a machine that generates the same thing over and over that looks like came from a cookie cutter that has glistening colour of a Simpsons pink doughnut with sprinkles. Hmmm?

This style is marked by:
Repeated use of the same color palettes and textures
Similar composition and subject matter across different works
A general sense of sameness that makes the art feel predictable
Why Has SLOPism Become So Prevalent?
Well eventually no one will know the difference. Because it will all look the same.
1. Reliance on Popular Prompts
AI art is not art it is a compiler
2. Limitations of Current AI Models
While AI art can quickly throw a database into the best order possible it still doesnt come from an actual innovation of ideas or working back into the drawing. It is mathematical code sorting system of acceptance for the most visually impactful aesthetic demanded. Styles and movements in art are developed over time and reflect the society at large. A.i art is no different and will be shown to have peaked and fallen into a dead end quicker than portraiture painting did once photography was commercially available. It will be one of the tools and pallets available and will be seen as such.
3. Demand for Quick and Easy Results
The fast-food dopamine... whatever... if you have an attention span you made it this far and well you possibly don't need to read about the opinion of a grumpy old man.
Examples of SLOPism in AI Art
To understand the style of this air-brushed, photoshopped looks like it has a filter from instagram and its all very simpsons or Transformers hyper colour pallete using the most popular colours of cinema tropes.

The Impact of SLOPism on the AI Art Community

SLOPism
Negative Effects
Idiots
People assume greatness which makes all artist using A.i to be a lower level of artist that exist on one basic level at th behest of the machine
lack of imagination
homogenisation of style to be accepted.
censorship easily enforced by centralised controllers and corporations
steals artists work with impunity to copyrite or IP
seriously I could list alot more but I will stop here.....
Possible Positive Outcomes
People realise that Slopism is a fleeting moment like Bitcoin will be seen as a shitty experiment in undermining the reality of material objects and struggle to achieve a talent of expression that is an extention of the person. Also if there is a power outage or servers lock you out due to Globalist Social credit scores then ermmmm... your back to pen and paper. The internet only works if people communicate. If it becomes one way street its then a dead bot filled void that absorbs the manure of the worlds creativity and hubris.
Can SLOPism Evolve Into Something More?
SLOPism might not be the end of AI art’s creative journey. Here are ways it could evolve:
Encouraging Diverse Prompts
Artists can learn by researching techniques quickly without having to attend a school or tutor.
Improving AI Models
Innovators can make more restraints within the models so that people are forced to improve and reshape the image with actual artistic vision and flair that usups the instant style merchants of the a.i model
Combining Human Creativity
Using AI as a tool to protect artists intellectual property and copywrite by detecting other people with no talent stealing great artists work.
What Can Artists and Enthusiasts Do?
If you are involved in AI art, here are some practical tips to avoid falling into the trap of SLOPism:
Subvert and hack A.i art models to make it glitch as a way of making the image prompts break down: Try prompts that are unusual or personal to you.
Feed back Mix Techniques: Combine AI-generated elements with traditional art methods then feed it into a photocopier and then scan back into a.i and then paint over the image, scan and feed back into A.i until you get a disintegration loop
Collaborate: Work with other artists to bring fresh perspectives and destroy with shame the use of A.i as if you are using a product that only Boomers use.
Stay Critical: Evaluate your work honestly and seek feedback to push boundaries always trying to break the machines limits which is what all good art does, otherwise its known as Landscape painting, portraiture or craft.
