The most interesting example of this being a euphoria is in a group that was linked in another post that focuses on Afro futurism for the Black Community, https://www.facebook.com/groups/33445301753/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=10162551203046754 so all the art there until the advent of AI…
At the end of the day, all it takes to understand the infringement aspect of it (which, with a little bit of perspective gained over the last few weeks, is actually clear as day) is to replace the anthropomorphic term "learning" by the much more straightforward term "using". It could be rather easily demonstrated by simply…
"select all of the images of a crosswalk" Ironically, these photo-based Captchas (or rather, ReCaptchas) were designed to train the Google AI model for self driving cars, and barely anyone was aware of it when using the service. Sounds familiar ... Same goes for the earlier version showing lowres house street numbers (also…
i am not trying to get rid of this competitor, as i know i can not. I do what i always do. make nice art and hope it will all be good, that there will be people who we work with who value art done by hand and that there will be people who will not. there are already clients who we do not work with for various reasons,…
Well, for me it is no harm, but something fantastic. This is the point where we still heavily disagree. For me it is simply a fantastic new tool in the belt. It allows me to create what was impossible before. I create all my music videos with it at the moment for my upcoming new album. In weeks instead of years. You might…
Sorry to be a downer again, but here is where things are at the moment : https://www.traffickinggame.com/ai-assisted-graphics/ First off, it shows that believing that "it will never get better than humans" is beyond pointless really. It is (obviously) lacking the personal touch of an artist in terms of their own references…
Today, my son (same infant I posted his birth announcement of here on PC) expressed his sincere desire to continue to draw and become an artist because that's how he feels most connected to others and regulates his own well being. He's got skill and talent by all counts for his age. He could easily continue to develop his…
What a well-needed Xmas break ! I hope all of you managed to take a bit of a breather and enjoy friends and family (all that while AI-children were probably busy feverously typing into the MJ server to get the most out of their paid sub by the end of the month) There's still a ton more to unpack though (probably for…
As a slow-meat-fellow traditional portraitist via another life, I'm utterly gobsmacked in just a brief period of time how far this algorithm contagion has spread. Personally, I don't see those scraped 'remastered' pretty online pic's as visual creativity in the truest sense but rather nothing other than two bit knockoffs…
Seems a bit premature to run away from Artstation. Granted, their current stance towards AI is disappointing but I think they may still come around. It's only been a few weeks and we're in the holiday period. You do know how this works out in a company, right? Everyone away on holidays and all until a bit into the new year…
