DeviantArt's Really Bad Day
3 years ago
.
Deviantart in 2022 is but a mere shadow of what it used to be over a decade ago.
This is one of the long line of boneheaded tone-deaf decisions made by the DA staff.

(you can see in the comments who are the actual artists and who the talentless brainlets)
Here's an example what kind of threats this can pose for artists.
The style bears a remarkable resemblance to a Pony artist I follow.
(Madamsquiggles or Marenlicious . . . can someone help me with this artist name?)

I know this particular pony artist doesn't make this type of art.
And this worries me.
Don't be surprise that somewhere in future you'll find loli hentai made in your art style.
For those who have genuine talent.
We live in a more hostile times.

This will make art commissioning Obsolete.
Someone wants a smut comic with your art style. AI can do it in Minutes. The creator of that particular art style gets zero cents.
Why commission money for an artist when AI can perfectly copy their art style in seconds.
This is a nightmare.
I just didn't know deviant art started their own ai
Now after a few iteration DA's AI can make replicated art in any style of any artist who ever posted on that site.
I don't make money from my art so I don't think I have a horse in this race to lose.
But those who monetize their talent and have an account on DA . . . it's a disaster.
Artists are flocking DA in droves but I already think it's too late.
The AI already has its food served.
Grifters are smelling money.
Unless an artist will win a lawsuit in court regarding AI theft this will be Wild West for real artists.
As if not being able to work for a company like Disney is bad enough. It's not like seeing soulless modern "Art" raking in millions doesn't hurt.
Now real artists are being stolen their talent. Not your art work YOUR TALENT is being stolen.
and it gets even worse. People can use AI to slander you. Make many CP art in your style in mere seconds.
This is a NIGHTMARE for artists.
And, you know, A.I.-generated art is no different from tracing at all, which is VERY frowned upon and, in many respects, considered plagiarism (read: illegal). So no, I KNOW it's not a trend that's GOING to die any time soon, I KNOW that; what I'm saying is is that it NEEDS to die! Because in many respects, it could (and in my opinion SHOULD) be considered illegal.
Congratulations you posses Empathy. A human attribute just like Common sense considered so rare in current year it might as well be labeled a Super Power.
We live in a time where mass egotism and narcissism is the name of the game magnified by social media.
Majority people now don't see a threat coming until they have to deal with it.
You see it often in the comments as trolls and contrarians who always dismiss a problem.
"Imagine being a 40 year old whine about this trivial shit bla bla bla"
But when that same problem starts knocking on their front door they whine why nobody sympathizes with their plight.
Case in point. See the mass layoffs of San Fransisco Tech Elite begging for sympathy on Twitter and completely mystified why they aint getting any.
The fuckers who dismiss artist's worries about AI in the comments.
I'll be on standby pointing and laughing when their livelihoods are being replaced by AI.
"A.I.-generated art is no different from tracing at all,"
I consider it worse because AI requires ZERO effort from the plagiarist.
People who trace art still have to put in actual labor.
In future an AI will do your art style even better making the artist completely obsolete.
It's already happening.
This is Lumineko / Luminaura's art style . . . but the hair shading is done much better.

Scary times for an artist.

I know it's an unpopular take but I think using the AI generator is fun, sometimes the fever dreams it spits out inspire me
