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…
We go in circles. Since of course i disagree. Copyright is not broken by looking at public available images. Oh boy would we have a problem when this would be the case :) Have a read here: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/23/technology/copilot-microsoft-ai-lawsuit.html To the surprise of many legal experts, Mr. Butterick’s…
Doesn't age of empires also arrive in the current time? With machines and such? What if Ned Ludd would have been part of the game, hammering it back to medieval over and over again? :) Sorry for driving you crazy with playing the devils advocate here. I was put into this corner, and now i do my best. I do not even deny…
"I just try to think of every possible angle and then see what could actually be done to effect any change." Well, for instance, that would be things like : taking hours out of one's day to contact the curating and marketing teams of said museum in order to let them know about the nature of the images that were sold to…
Sure that will get rid of the people who can't actually draw anything and are now busy googling basic Photoshop tutorials. But what about those who are half-decent (but below the threshold for talent you'd seek out) and use AI and as such the work of others to boost their own output? Seems like it would be possible to feed…
The thing I find fascinating about this collage presentation ... is just how boring and uninteresting it is. And by that I don't mean the images themselves, which are fine ; but the whole process involving AI and successive "revisions", which evokes no curiosity or wonder or sense of satisfying hard work whatsoever. Not to…
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 still don't get the point of all this. I mean great if the guy gets an ego boost and some followers, besides posters and tshirts and maybe magnets, what other way is there to monetise this. And if he gets a commission besides prompting to generate something random, what does his time cost? Like I'd through a cent for the…
Yes, no one knows, and that too is besides the point. For instance one might believe that a country that goes full throttle into eugenics and human cloning would become populated by world-conquering super-humans within a few years, so why resist it, might as well do the same ; but that wouldn't prevent other countries to…
"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,…
