Nobody asked for this, but here it is.

What's AI art?
AI art is the most popular term for images created by text to image AI models like OpenAI's DALL-E 2, Google's Imagen, Stability's Stable Diffusion, and others. In simple terms, it's any picture made by a program after telling it what you want.

What's this about?
With the public release of AI programs like DALL-E Mini and Stable Diffusion, artists, particularly ones on Twitter and Reddit, have caught wind of their popularity. This has led to hilarious meltdowns, a shit ton of doomposting, and the return of the ever-dreaded question "what is art?"

Recent Happenings
- Art Twitter is generally mad due to their stubbornness and ignorance: apparently using AI is the same as being an "NFT bro"

- YouTuber Vaush apparently hates all AI art:
- A man won first place at a Colorado state fair's art competition - discussed here
- News of AI has reached Nipland - Japanese artists freaking out.

I've been playing around with Stable Diffusion. Interesting result, some surprisingly good. So far faces/eyes/hands/limbs in general have been kind of iffy, but absolutely, even in their current state these things can fill in some slots that normally someone would turn to an artist for.

It's hard to believe that we may be on the cusp of humanity's greatest achievement: an artificial intelligence that can create an objectively perfect pair of anime tiddies. I'll allow myself to revel in their magnificence just once, then poke my eyes out because I'll never see anything more beautiful again.

It's made a lot of leaps since public release, especially for recreating faces.
But OH NO it's going to infringe on the hard earned money of artists because the untalented can now use a machine to make whatever their heart can desire, except AI is limited...for now.
As a artist myself, I don't see this devastating issue with AI art. I swear the art community has just some of the most pretentious whiners. Not to mention people will always have a stronger affinity for something hand made over items mass produced.

This just means another step for art in general in my opinion. New tech comes in, things change. Electronic instruments, DAWs, and auto tune didn't kill more traditional forms of music, it simply integrated with them or created new genres. Heck, alot of the older genres of music still exist in forms that are true to their history. Music of all types and techniques are strongly valued by different people, and I feel it will be the same way for art.

This entire song was written by an AI, and this was in 2020, it's coming even further, we even have AI that can deepfake voices live, just give it another year or two and we'll start seeing Dall-E at home
This was also rendered entirely by an AI

AI is not there yet. These artists need to chill.

Telling your average artistic wastrel to shut up and do something productive for once is generally a decent idea in most situations.

Maybe in 20-50 years AI will advance far enough to produce really top level stuff, but at this point you should only feel threatened if the standard for your average comission is already 'I can't draw it myself, here's some pocket change'. People in that territory could have been kicked out of their artistic niche by a room of trained chimps, and they really only have their own lack of talent and initiative to blame if that's a big inconvenience to their lives.

Sorry guys, you convinced yourselves you were more than glorified hobbyists. Not the tech's fault.

The pace of ai research is much faster than the general public realizes. 20-50 years? More like 2-5 years before it's indistinguishable from a human's art. In 20-50 years ai will be some crazy shit we cannot even comprehend.
