Love this question what a great one for DIY debate week (strong upvote). You definitely moved my needle a bit away from AI art, although I’ll continue to use it for the moment.
One strong disagreement is against these 2 points of yours, just from my wife’s recent experience - “AI art has negative associations with quality and is often seen as being tacky “slop”, which might hurt messaging using AI art.” - “The upside of using AI art doesn’t seem to be very high: subjectively it mostly seems like it’s used for decorations. ”
My wife recently made 20 large really high quality photorealistic AI images to help her with trainings moving towards a conflict mediation here in Uganda. The images demonstrated land conflicts, interpersonal violence and depicted a range of emotions people could have been experiencing. They were so realistic nearly all the participants thought they were even real people… This tool was super useful for the training and conflict meeting. She would never have considered (or been able to afford) paying someone to make these images, so without AI images wouldn’t have bee used and value would have been loss
Quality can be high, and Upsides can be also high at times as well.
