wow, OK...I haven't posted in a long while, but with all the recent AI drama going on, I felt I needed to voice some concerns, and bring up some perhaps controversial thoughts and opinions. I feel a lot of the discussion so far has been either based on fear-mongering or naive short-term thinking. We pretty much have two…
Actually in architecture, the people doing it call themselves designers or visualizers, maybe that term is more appropriate with AI art prompters? Or you could say they are the lowest form of menial labor in art generation, kind of like trash pickers that work in the dumps foraging through garbage looking for recycling.…
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,…
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…
I do wonder what they would do if a legal precedent hits, what would happen to previous training models, would work derived from them be included in a repository that future AI models can derive from. Usually when it's this complicated, it comes down to a settlement and some conditions. I feel like the conditions would be…
I highlighted the important part. This is the next big Industrial Revolution; I don't think we can stop it and a huge chunks of beginner/intermediate craftsman and artisans are goign to have hard time mastering their craft without it's use. It's essentially coming for everything and is the big leap we somewhat were all…
@Tiles But we've already shown examples of pixel-per-pixel (more or less) copies of prominent images, in one of the other AI threads. If "The main concern here so far was that "these basterds uses my data", which they don't. Not a single grain of copyright is touched. They use it for training by simply looking at it.…
@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…
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…
Something is getting lost in translation here. No one is talking about "forbidding learning". The idea is simply to not use anthropological terms like "learning" and reframing it as "using" in order to get a clearer view on what's going on. On law : law is not something that is divinely dictated and get set it in stone…
