About AI generated art.
3 years ago
My Politics and Social views are ideas that I believe work. If something does not work I call it out.
I’m impressed!
Am I worried?
No…
No more than a baseball player should be worried about people preferring to watch a AI generated game.
Perhaps I am worried about art theft needed to generate these pictures.
Or worse some kid believing there is no point to studying art because of art program that primarily steals art.
Always remember that even if you work hard you will always have to overcome the stupidity of your fellow humans.
Yes, morons will flock to the idea of not having to work or pay. However the stories can only be told be told by the true artists.
Remember your fellow man will pay millions for a banana peal taped to a wall!
That’s how fucking stupid they are.

Using existing art to train AI systems isn't theft though, since it takes nothing away from the original art or artist. It just builds on it, much like any artist does by being influenced by art they've seen or the culture they're surrounded by.
It is using the labor of others!
Now I copy other people’s art and photography to learn! But you will never see those pics because they are just study pics.
It’s perfectly fine to use a anatomy book because that is the sole reason for the book!
And most people commisisons artists to draw THEIR character, not some generic anthro look-alike.
It would generally probably do a crap job, though.
I said there is difference between being good and being popular, and she was good. So if she wanted to be popular as well she needed to draw tits and dicks!
The text based generators work by analyzing images which are linked with text so that they can generate images from that.
You can try it yourself with sites like craiyon.com. It's a lot of fun.
That's kinda the only value i find for it. pretty fantasy images of landscapes.
Someone on Twitter was making the case for AI and was like "bruh it's not stealing" meanwhile he's in a video being shown where artist signatures were literally appearing in said AI art he was trying to promote. How is it not stealing if literally real world people's John Hancocks are appearing in the image? Sounds like stealing to me, lmao.
If a piece of AI generated art has an artist's signature on it, somebody put that there. They're incapable of doing that themselves as far as I've ever seen. AI generators don't copy things, they only imitate them. They have no cognition. They don't actually "See" or "Recognize" anything. They always inject errors or random things into images. They wouldn't copy a signature by themselves.
If someone sells a piece of art that they've created with someone else's signature on it, that's fraud.
I prefer handmade art overall, though.
I feel Nvidia is partially to blame for the acceleration of AI art, with the latest version of DLSS including frame generation, AI generated frames to increase the smoothness of a game. This technology is locked to their 40 series cards.
I'm sure AMD is working on something similar now with their GPU hardware and drivers, along with Intel if they continue developing new GPUs.
It's not going to replace actual artists, I think it's supposed to be a tool for artists. I could see something like this being used in animation to generate frames between key frames.
I think people are ignoring the positives in favor of the negatives. I don't see AI replacing real artists anytime soon. Because I think it's supposed to be a tool for said artists not a replacement.
I can immediately think of one artist here whos drawn the exact same pose, shape and costume literally HUNDREDS of times and each time lists the art as "My new original character..."
Oh jeez, I think I know exactly who you're talking about.
Would you like to talk more about that via PM?
NOT!
Anybody and anything can eventually be replaced with something cheaper and automated.
"Ah, but what if I told you these potatoes are AUTOMATED, hmm?"
"Automated potatoes? Well now you're talking!"
Well, I used to work in a field that was more-or-less automation resistant. So far as I know, they can't replace a security guard with a machine, the insurance companies won't hear of it. But I also worked as a programmer and later a system analyst for those same insurance companies. They replaced me with two cheap Asian techs.
Artists *create*, with emotion, passion, and desire to make images come to life through organic interaction with their medium.
It is a fad, like many things tech entertainment based. In the end, artists will be just fine.
