While these ai generators have opened up a can of worms and some moral gray area...isn't the idea of copyright infringement (as it pertains to commercial enterprises i.e selling reference packs, paid apps, etc..) still black and white? So if an original piece of concept art is used as direct input for training an ai model…
Well there are basically two layers to this : at the lowest level, there are the billions of images and artists (+ all the relevant metadata) that got scraped and potentially given some so-called "aesthetic rating" in Laion5B - all done and used without consent. A simply query through HaveIBeenTrained using any random…
I'd say FromSoftware is way more efficient than say, Ubisoft or Blizzard. They are making games cheaper and now starting to make sales like the bigger guys who were stuck in arms race. from an artist perspective I think their games have more value because it is largely the passion project of a single mind, rather than…
@pior thats a great thing that you did! as far as arguing with the AI bros, I mean you could just view that as a form of feedback by which you measure you success in persuasion with them. Just because I say the same thing as them doesn't mean I hold all the same views, ya know. Hitler loved dogs and I also love dogs. The…
You said it yourself, "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 sounds like a true artist, someone who needs to do art for his own human reasons. This should never be discouraged, even if it becomes unlikely as a…
Well Napster was out for quite a while before the lawsuits came rolling. And the world didn't need the DMCA either - until we did. It takes a while for laws to catch up to new tech. A single artist dedicating their life to imitate Van Gogh is flattering. But AI that can do this in a matter of seconds with every artist on…
What jobs does it replace besides concept art though? I cannot get consistent enough results from it to produce basic icons for a survival game. Like, it's totally hit or miss what you get from it, which isn't very helpful doing a job on a schedule. I'd love to put it to good use, but I haven't been able to find much use…
I don't think that i mix up things by pointing at the facts. This "AI Jerk" could have also done this with photoshop and a filter. But yet you abuse this false example to discredit AI, and furthermore to discredit all AI users as jerks. And this is how you should not discuss. I can just repeat, hate Ai, but hate it for a…
"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 think this whole thing is overblown when it comes to the legal aspects. From what I'm understanding, AI learns by studying existing art to look for meaningful patterns, then creates art using those patterns. People learn art in a similar fashion, i.e. breaking down a painting made by another artist to study, then apply…
