"That's my two cents anyway. Hope it helps weight the fear/bias towards a more nuanced look at AI from artists. For anyone feeling worry/anxiety about the industry... learn the fundamentals and wait for the platforms/tools to shift. It's going to be okay. Your future is probably fine" I don't think that's the case at all,…
I would argue illustrators may have it the worst out of all those who want to be independent artists and specifically those who do digital illustration. Thats an area the AI can easily replicate and to be fair....there already wasn't much of any monetary value in it anyhow even before the AI came along. Those who did…
Well, considering that the example promts consists of things like this … … it seems pretty clear to me that this is using the same kind of artist-fucking, image-stealing, compensation-dodging tech that powers all other AI image generators. Make of that what you will.
100% i am so glad you can see that, i am against it all the way but people are actually saying the genie's out of the bottle and we have to "conform" cause its out there... if the "world" decides its fine then they go ahead its better than having nothing, cause its okay to steal apparently. I rather this was never around…
Really, I've been thinking about the subject for a few days now, and I'm not sure whether to see this technology as an ally or as the nemesis of the artistic industry. What I do know is that currently, as it's presented, I only perceive it as a money-making machine for the companies behind it. I see it more as an…
Usually, they just make the same games those first programmers made 25 years ago with tweaks around the edges. If you're shooting for novelty, there's really no escaping the fundamentals. Every game programmer today starts with GameMaker or the Unity asset store, but you don't get to join the Unreal Engine core team…
Really? The old models probably all backed up to hell. Same for all the embeddings. Which is why I feel the original researchers in LAION5B are incredibly irresponsible. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33953891 Glad there are at least two users on there who realize how ethically ambiguous it is. There's already CC0…
So when an illustrator has developed his/her style in secret (completely offline to avoid being scanned and incorporated into a number of random data bases) they should make an appearance on stage to the commercial world, what, by postal dove? Still probably be scanned in and misused. A brilliant learning, promotional and…
Why? I mean it's a big problem for a lot of people but it is not a new problem at all. And if people weren't in the habit of being selfish and short sighted to begin with they'd be better equip to foresee problems that keep happening over and over throughout history. But I bet if I came here 15 years ago and hammered on…
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. True. But i prefer to have nevertheless some fun before this happens :) it's not good at all for people who made a living by making art. And people who makes a living from art explicitely…
