if only we lived in a world where the rich had a sliver of humanity left in them !! if only :,)

@brynnstic
They know and don’t care lol

If AI brings in any kind of short-term profits, such as not having to pay concept artists/voice actors/etc, I think they’ll not see it, or decide not to >_>

@d1ckbitch
Yep,, and while I doubt this will happen, we can only hope that big corporations will see that ai is kinda dangerous (not just to artists, of course, I mean in a general sense)

This is why you never say “never”, even though this one hurts a little bit… Who could’ve imagined today’s results of AI engines even five years before?

Reminds of when the New York Times predicted that humain flight wouldn’t be feasible before one million years, roughly nine weeks before Wright Brothers’s historic flight.

Real Art (pre-1900) with symbols and deep meaning, might take a bit more time for computers to be done correctly, but what AI produces now decently is mostly soulless illustration and placeholder pictures, which unfortunately for artists were already a large share of commercial pictures production industry…

The biggest damage is the perception that digital art is easy.

One that already existed.

AI is not even easy, but it somehow spreads the perception that art is easy.

@d1ckbitch
I remember seeing a video documentary once that said “robots can replace any job, but they can’t replace artists” and wow that aged well ! Ppl are saying that ai still isn’t that good, which is totally true, but haven’t we noticed how well it’s developed within just 3 years?? Imagine the difference in 10 or 20!!

I mean… Who wouldn’t do that? People always go for the easiest, cheapest and more convenient solution.

Artists should’ve seen it coming, everything done by hand ends up being made by machines for cheap. Though the hilariously bad early results of Dall.e & co probably mislead people into thinking AI would never be able to compete with humains…

@Beth
What doesn’t mean that AI doesn’t damage creatives in various ways

AI is still not that good. I thought robots would be whipping humans in the street by now.

Like it almost looks good, but making art requires a lot more knowledge of art than just the ability to draw the image.

@brynnstic
Not the advertizing and cereal box covers!

@Starless
I cannot express how important this is. You’re right and people clearly are not educated enough on how this will affect real artists. Instead of paying for commissions, people could use a free AI to replicate an artstyle they enjoy. This will literally kill commercial artists. Yes, we can still do commissions and post art for fun. But the reality of it is that commercial art (book covers, advertising, even short animations) will be MAJORLY affected by AI in the coming years. Us artists gotta stick together in the war against AI!!

That’s right, AI art kinda revealed the existence of people who upvote without actually clicking the thumbnail… the new AI policy is good for solving that, in theory, no more crudely upscaled AI pictures hopefully

@d1ckbitch
The caption on the bottom right of the first image seems to acknowledge this point without realizing it’s the central point. Looks good at thumbnail preview but is uncanny when viewed full-rez was one of the points of contention on AI art being posted here and people complaining about how many updoots it earned.

@WaynePonePone
Using human’s hard work for replacing humans

@Ring Team
Art on top of the picture is plastered on every new Kickstarter campaigns, quite a few graphic designers were not hired for these jobs, actually… The placeholder pictures market might be suffering a lot these days.

AI art is certainly not perfect, but being good enough is all that’s needed, sometimes (and I mean everytime)

So are people angry at AI for being able to replace humans or are they angry at AI for sucking at replacing humans?

This is sad shit

@d1ckbitch
Loras are for training singular concepts or styles predominantly. They still require an underlying base model to understand concepts like ‘Apple’ or ‘car’ if those concepts were not in the lora.

If that’s good enough for you then it’s already being done in anime spaces but is not as popular in pony.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant
As a trick that can never be pulled again… Fountain is one of the most important piece of art ever made.

@Bigcheese
IDK, I heard about this thing called LoRA that seems to be able to learn an artist’s style from a very low data set, like 50 pictures or so… And most profilient (good) artists can have like 1000 pictures under their name. Not enough to get decent generations, but it might be readable pictures at least…?

It would be mostly noise. A single artist cannot product enough images to train a model from scratch. StabilityAI is working on a public domain + opt-in model. Using that as a base you could train on a single artist.

@d1ckbitch
What about tipping a urinal on its side?

@Beth
This isn’t necessarily true. However, getting results outside the AI house style requires deliberately asking for “in the style of Mark Rothko,” for example.

@UnderwoodART
This question might be nothing but another way of asking the eternity-old real question : “what is art?”, and maybe not really relevant to AI by itself.

Is putting a white canvas in a museum art? Is splatting some paint in a large canvas and selling it for a very expensive price art? What about destroying it, by the artist or someone else, is it still art? Is putting a huge amount of creations in a computer software to get a new creation, made of little pieces of all the others, art? Don’t artists already do it but with their brain instead?

TBH, I’d be curious to see what a model trained on exclusively one artist would output… This can be done, just need someone to do it now

Here’s a thought: What if you, as an artist, used a machine learning AI trained exclusively on our own work to create new art. Is that art? Are you the artist?

Yeah AI is just mashing together average horse crap. If it happens to make something beautiful, that’s because lots of beautiful art has already been made.

People will get bored of this current AI, even when it gets hands and faces right.
