Sure it can. But for what reason? And what exactly do you want to put under punishment? Looking at public available images? Painting in the style of a living artist? That's all things that human artists does too. Imho the real reason why AI is hated is because it is a competitor for traditional artists. And because of hurt…
So technology got us where we are. People are getting spoiled and bored out of their mind, living for instant gratification, lip-sync quotes from movies pretending to be actors, doing their stupid little dances for likes, people no longer need to remember anything because their phone is "smart", many people can´t count…
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…
Hi there @zetheros , Even though an ill-intentioned scrapper would always find a way to scrape, I do feel like good old regular portfolios have a place here. (and perhaps the geographic location of where to host one's files can matter too, since legislation on data collecting is bound to differ). I did go the Wordpress…
@Tiles the future is almost certainly death of the entire human race and nearly all other forms of life, so it kinda needs to be stopped. No, I am not suggesting that AI art is what kills us. Anybody wants to argue about what is unanimous verdict of virtually every scientific community you have to demonstrate that you've…
@pior I CAN'T! I have to keep up with all the 3D program, addon, sculpting and texture painting developments because this is a high tech field! They often post AI news. I literally can't get away from all this. Whenever I manage to catch a break, news about AI creeps in and the anxiety comes back. I SUPPOSE the saving…
It's about the hate that pior spreads here. Not about that he dislikes AI. How shall we discuss with each other when we call us with names? You can dislike or like AI without to become personal for disliking the others opinion. That's at least my opinion. I don't want to lead the discussion from scratch again since we…
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…
Well, for me it is simply a tool like Photoshop :) You still underestimate the effort to create something really good looking with AI. It is not enough to type in a few words. You still, and even more than in traditional art, need the artistic skills and knowledge to steer the AI where you want it to be. Else it will go…
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…
