Indifferent to AI? Creator Shares Backlash When Showing Off AI Art to Friends
Sufficient-Shock-641 · reddit · 2026-08-11
An AI creator shared in the community that when they showed friends impressive videos generated by Minimax H3, the friends showed no reaction or even got angry. The author reflects on the reasons for this disconnect: on one hand, the general public is largely resistant to AI, often dismissing generated works as 'slop'; on the other hand, non-technical audiences fail to grasp the technical barriers of current AI video generation. Furthermore, some friends in creative professions (like musicians) are anxious about the potential threat of AI replacing human labor.
