Has anyone tried Nightshade yet? I don't have high hopes, but I'm giving it a go for shits n giggles & to see what the end result looks like. I've also been looking into what r/stablediffusion has to say about it. Warning; there are some (not all) people in there that sound like incels, but with artists instead of women;…
Congratulations, you've actively failed: -To learn something in the process of drawing it yourself, -To put something of yourself into the project-To find a real artist whose work can inspire you What you've succeeded in:-Leaning into whatever biases the AI has -Shaming people who use their trained skills to make money at…
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…
AI isn't threatening anyone's jobs. I've already put it to the test as a solo developer. It doesn't even threaten 2d artist's jobs; we need the PSD files to be able to do cool stuff with it, like UI design elements. Images with prebaked colour, linework and lighting are useless. 1-off 'hero' artworks used for things like…
Some art.. indeed lacks some craftmanship.. but still someone may find it appealing.. up to the scribblings of someones own children.. :wink: ..so also some "pieces of a.." may find someone who want to pay for it.. So the special use of AI in generating images increases the occurence of "general art products" which was…
One thing I've noticed is these AI cultists cheer that "you have nothing to fear as long as you don't suck" Trouble is, sucking is a big part of the journey of becoming an artist. If you want to be an artist you have to accept that you will suck for many years. After you stop sucking, you start making beautiful images or…
i agree its just one small facet of the larger race to the bottom we are all stuck in. thats what i was talking about earlier in the thread. but sadly people tend to only care about things once it effects them directly. an artist has their job threatened and suddenly culture is doomed. but when countless others before went…
"People will not become dumber because the tool does more work that used to be human done" Well ... https://twitter.com/Rahll/status/1724532529875562684 If anything, the only new thing that is likely to happen ... is Art Directors flat out refusing to hire anyone using "generative AI" in their process - because they know…
I'm in general agreement @pior but I think there does remain some practical value to it, though I have only found it to be a tiny bit useful in some weird cases. Like if I need to get some ideas across quickly to somebody, since I am not a skilled 2d artist I can generate some AI image which gets close to what I have in…
