AI Art Seething General

[GunCar Gary]

These retards are judging this short (it's still completely lobotomised criticism that is not at all valid) as if it were the pinnacle of AI, when it's just getting warmed up. They are in for a rude awakening in 10-20 years' time when they realise their slop going to be streamlined away.

Some filmmakers released a short video made with Sora on twitter and people aren't happy:

It's not great, but not particularly bad either, but of course since le ebil AI made it its automatically trash.

Anytime I see people on Twitter deride something made with AI, most of the time I end up being mildly impressed. Like I don't get mind-blown every time, but I always find myself being amused if anything in sharp contrast to them being offended on an existential level.

It's gonna be so fucking funny in a few years when AI content is normalized seeing all these people turn a 180 and pretend like they always supported it or were never actually against it they just misunderstood

God gave programmers AI to punish artists for being so gay and stupid.

 

[weirdMcGee]

eh not all artist are gay, then we wouldn't have horsecock goblin porn!

This sounds really bleak to be honest. Artists shouldn't be replaced by AI, even when I'm okay with AI being done for fun and as an auxiliary tool. But human imagination cannot and should not be replaced. Also, paying for AI art = getting scammed in my book. You can easily make it with a computer, it's anything but "hard work". I just want people to have some empathy for human artists here and not celebrate their falldown (though I have no sympathy for shitty ones like people who make SJW slop). No one wants to be forced to have shitty and boring minimum-wage jobs like a McDonald's cashier.

Another big issue I have with AI art is people using them to deceive and scam people, along with doing stuff like deepfakes (even when photoshop deepfakes were a thing back them, that still does not make it okay to make pornographic stuff out of a living innocent person without their consent). I'm not talking about caricatures or making porn out of politicians, but about someone like an actual existing child.

I am neutral over AI art (fuck greedy corps who want to make soulless slop and AI bros) and again, I am fine with people doing it for fun or using it as a tool to help them with their art. But honestly, the future of this world does not look good. I'm pretty pessimistic about it and it makes me feel existential dread.

Anyone choosing a childhood hobby as a job, expecting it to sustain them is a gargantuan retard deserving of minimum wage. Yet alone if you know you’ll be taking care of someone else. It’s not some heroic deed to ‘try to get by with my PASSION, starving under a bridge feeding the street kittens with my meagre furry commission income’, it‘s the behavior of a child, and no less egoistical. Nevermind the debt of a toilet-paper quality arts degree.

Mind you, I love drawing too. But even in middle school it never even occurred to make something as fickle, as connection-dependent as art a job. You want decent pay you need a decent job. (Inbf but that’s boring and haaaaard, so is adult life), And if part of your job is whoring out on social media its not a job at all.

I heavily disagree with that if the person has a huge talent at art. Otherwise, how could talented people such as Leonardo da Vinci make money and make history?

No one is going to hire the trannie on Xigger to paint their cathedral ceiling, I’m afraid. For every Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Dalí that make it there’s a million that don’t. Da Vinci excelled at many academic fields, while having a truckload of ivory tower connections. That goes for every other world-known artist you know. Becoming succesful in a fickle market is playing the lottery of ‘am I enough of a character?’ and ‘am I born in the right place, the right time?’
Having talent is not enough; and if your talent isn’t centered around math/STEM, fields actually demanded in this day and age (because fewer enter them, because they’re haaaaard) then it won’t get you far. Almost nobody that plays piano is better off becoming a pianist.
And keeping something as a hobby doesn’t deprive it of value, it’s your way of relaxing, taking the stress off from work. Don’t give up on art, it’s a handcraft whose rewards can stay with you a lifetime.

Too bad society undervalues anything that isn't math/STEM when it comes to jobs. A lot of people don't want to do a job they don't like or aren't good at, even when said job would give them loads of money. I don't see anything wrong with an artist making money off of their talent and studying art, or someone who is playing a piano becoming a professional musician. If they are happy with their jobs, then so be it. I just don't want greedy corps to force people to not work with their talent and work with stuff they don't like.

Artists shouldn't be replaced by AI

i don't think AI will ever completely replace artists, or anything for that matter. people will always want custom work that AI can't provide and a human connection when it comes to certain things. ordering a fast food sandwich from a robot is fine for most people, having a robot get details wrong about a portrait of your recently dead pet is not fine for most people

artists who relied on making money producing disposable garbage for a little extra money are screwed, but welcome to problems that most other people have dealt with from the last 100 years of technological advancement. stable artists who do a good, consistent job at making art will be perfectly fine and will be even more productive with these tools

Also, paying for AI art = getting scammed in my book. You can easily make it with a computer, it's anything but "hard work".

it also doesn't help that visual artists keep pulling out arguments that have already been settled decades ago. i've heard all these exact same arguments when electronic music started gaining popularity. not real music because you're not playing a real instrument, not real music because music is actually the magic between people working together making the music, not real music because you're using samples, not real music because you don't have proper classical training

nobody cares about any of that. if AI art makes a funny meme or a naked anime girl and people like the final output that's good enough for most cases

I just want people to have some empathy for human artists here

lol

no

Except that you can still make electronic music yourself and put your work into it. AI art, on the other hand, does the entire job for you. It's not comparable to electronic music, it's comparable to fully AI made music.

 

[Mega Black]

though I have no sympathy for shitty ones like people who make SJW slop

That's literally almost all of them? Conservative artists are so buried under the wave of genderqueer special fag artists that they're practically a non-element. You'll get better art that isn't woke when AI is in the hands of people with less retarded values and the Twitter artist is an extinct fossil.

i would like to bring to your attention this article, The day the 'Loony' Musician's Union tried to kill the synthesizer (A), particularly these lines

But in 1982, the [Musician's Union] went even further, again apparently in the interests of its members. The union decided to try and ban synthesizers and drum machines, which it feared were literally taking food out of the mouths of real players.

They were particularly concerned about the possible effect on West End theatrical productions, imagining orchestra pits full of ‘technicians’ instead of musicians.”

i can agree that AI tools are more advanced and capable than synthesizers, but the sentiment is the same: dirty technicians are going to be pressing buttons on machines that do all the work for them instead of artists being able to perform art the right way. decades later, electronic tools and instruments are a staple of a modern musician's toolbox

new technology will give people with fewer technical skills the ability to produce their own art. artists will learn to adapt and use new technology or be replaced, just like it always has been

 

[Unnecessary Surgery Land]

I'm a graphic designer that hates AI shit. however I cannot feel bad for AI replacing artists now in days. The artist community is full of the most narcissistic, pissy, neoliberal people I have ever met on the planet.

Why the fuck WOULDN'T you want to phase out these dick holes? No company wants to deal with them anymore
FFS, these are the people that championed all the online moral-fagging-scam campaigns (BLM is a perfect example).

However obnoxious you think an artist is online, they are 1000x worse IRL. Of course there's 'good' ones out there, but they're quiet.

I understand if people with fewer technical skills do it for fun (or make said AI art represent them if they can't pay or reach out to artists) or if artists adapt to it and use AI as a tool to help them. I just see a problem if corporations replace all artists with AI-generated slop and said artists are left with nothing, along with people trying to scam others with realistic AI media. Don't look at me as if I'm a rabid AI hater from Twitter who screams at people making AI memes purely for fun, I hate those kinds of people.

Artists don't produce slop?

 

[Dynamite Bean]

I don't see AI replacing humans in the corporate sector making any difference, if the current "creative" types aren't making anything of note I highly doubt AI will either
These people are talentless creatively bankrupt hacks and if something can knock their inflated ego down a peg i'm all for it

yeah. unfortunately AI is using the current market of western art as it's database.

I feel like there's only so many types of artists in western nowadays:

-moody landscape artist. kinda neat but boring.
-white women that draw animals and flowers. that's it that's all they draw. they copy each others aesthetic. lots of beetles and foxes.
-sjw cartoonists that circle jerk and make blobs. lots of zipper tit scars and beefy men. NO SKINNY WOMEN THOUGH THAT''S SEXIST. ONLY BEEFY GAY MEN.
-quirky pixel artist. you've seen one, you've seen them all.
-anime tiddies.
-furries.
-the *soft* Japanese inspired artist. no nsfw stuff but just animal-crossing-tier safe art
-John k wannabe

that's it that's all the types of artists.

edit: forgot to include

-the mediocre storyboard/animator/comic artist. doesn't really do anything big but can draw Mickey Mouse walking? that's cool, right? please hire me at dude@email.com. worked at 47 animation/comic studios but is doing commissions for an oddly cheap price. probably worked on adventure time at some point.
-'relatable' comic artist. life is in shambles.

Well... You do have a point right there. There are certain artists I wouldn't mind being replaced by AI at all. People who make slop like this (courtesy of cannonsinmyhead):



I would rather have AI art or "boring generic attractive skinny white designs" than whatever this cancer is.
