Stable Diffusion, NovelAI, Machine Learning Art - AI art generation discussion and image dump

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Is Stable Diffusion better than DD? I'd still like to be able to create stuff like this but I was reading that it tends to be more accurate to prompts.

Academic research into the field will effectively be stopped and all the potential will be wasted since god forbid people will be able to make their own Star Wars cartoon without fiving Disney money.

I really don't understand why you're in such a hurry to put people out of work.

Your job is next.

This is going to be a gigantic shitshow. I've barely spent a day fucking around with this and I can tell you right now you'll be hearing about this for years.
  • Artist outcry about being replaced by a $600 GPU.
  • IP concerns in that an artist's style can be trained into a hypernetwork and reproduced instantaneously.
  • Government, legislative, nonprofit, and public outcries regarding the triviality of producing near lifelike CSAM.
  • Privacy concerns in being able to make passing nude / otherwise offensive or humiliating images of real people.
I'm calling it now, the Information Era is dead and we are now in the Machine Era. Computer information processing is now more important to the direction of society than the general ubiquity of information which defined the information era, just as the WWW redirected the world from the Nuclear Era and the cold war standoff to a global interconnected community.

Governments using ML to memorize faces from public IDs to track people in public (China literally already does this), civil litigation over copyright defemation and nonconsensual pornography, criminal litigation over production

It's happening.

You forgot a major one.

Framing people for crimes.

I think in the extreme people will still gravitate towards "artists" who curate and incorporate the generated art in a way they like. You still have to make a cohesive product people are willing to spend money on.

In the absolute extreme, everyone is isolated giving the AI their own prompts. Through the need for social interaction, they share what they've found to other people. It'd be like if we were all stuck in the Library of Babel but had internet access to share what we've found.

Let me know when a sensible GUI that's piss easy to set up shows up, something like Cupscale for ESRGAN, because I don't feel like running a bunch of commands and installing specific versions of Python and dealing with all this shit just to have some AI fun. Also don't tell me to use Docker, it's retarded and doesn't think I have virtualization instructions on (I do have them on) and won't even start because of it.

Visions of chaos is very easy to set up and it gives you a bunch of models.
 
To suggest a small counter to the various "Doom, doom, art is dead" worries:

Not often anyone gets to see the birth of a new art form. Not talking about the AI on it's own, but an AI working in combination with a good artist is going to produce some really interesting and impressive works. There'll be a few million bad combinations of human and machine too, but it'll shake out in time. Always does.

Artists should stop doomposting about AI, the only thing it can do is make aesthetically pleasing souless art (+ wonky hands). It's for people who aren't talented in art. It'll be just another tool for actual artists to test their vision or so.
The only section of art they're potentially fucking up is the abstract art and disposable twitter amateur art. Maybe landscape and concept artists but I doubt the AI and replace the human element of it.

This soulless machine produced mockery of "art" is a terrible but sadly unsurprising indictment of the modern age. Where's the passion? Where's the soul? If you want real art, that takes human imagination and skill. For example:

Peinture (Le Chien) By Joan Miro

52_1645_post_media_chFU.jpg

Untitled (1970) by Cy Twombly

No._5,_1948.jpg

No. 5 by Jason Pollock

And my personal favourite:

Bridge by Robert Ryan. This pinnacle of human achievement is valued at 20.6 million dollars. On a completely unrelated note, you can buy a blank canvas for about 15 quid.

Could a soulless machine produce artworks of such profound beauty? I think not. A monkey randomly applying paint to a canvas might however.

Fine art and legitimately great artists are safe. AI can generate some impressive images, but look at something by Thomas Cole or Bruegel the Elder and it doesn't even come close.

Pop art, commercial art, and porno "artists" will probably be the most impacted by this, and I say fuck em.

Tedshua “una-null” Moonzynski, anime style. Although that background is definitely not UC Berkeley, so I have to doc points. Also, what’s with the dress shirt buttoned up all the way? Wear a tie or leave the top button undone ya hippy!
