Personally I don't see the democraticized wide spread use of AI art as microsoft and Open AI are suggesting. I don't think that people were not being creative because of the bar set by artists. Like anyone can pick up a pencil and draw and not everyone wants to monetize and brand them through their art. Like AI art use for…
@"Michael Knubben" that is all true but it is also only the perspective of an artist, and one who is focused on bettering their craft as opposed to getting a product out the door. Many of the people using or wanting to use AI will not be. That is what I was trying to illustrate. In my case, I am a game developer first and…
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…
I mean I agree. If you give a man a fish he just ask for another fish tomorrow. So a prompt engineer might "make" art for an entire career as a prompt artist without ever having even known what shape language means. But any time labor saving technology is introduced its not like the people who were laboring are now asked…
I don't think humans do anything more than AI really, if you wanted to talk semantics of it. Monkey see, monkey do, there is no magic. Some monkeys see a little more, some do a little more, but AI has seen more than all and can do virtually infinitely. There are things a human can do like anticipate the future and solve…
It´s not "hate" when you use common sense to call something what it is. Call us pencil-grabbers, paper scratchers, tablet tip worners (personally I prefer this one, because I have to put a new tip on my wacom anyway...). Find some name you would call us that would be accurate and would make us feel uncomfortable at the…
I must say that I am now genuinely torn between two very conflicting states : • On one hand the combative spirit is a powerful driver, and the rollercoaster of the last few days/weeks put a lot of incredibly important things in sharp perspective : how one expresses oneself through their craft as imperfect as it may be, and…
@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. Yes, you can make content that looks similar. The more famous an image is, the closer AI will come to it. But it is not pixel by pixel. And you can do similar images with Photoshop or Krita…
