Again, most AI users and proponents alike don't understand art
These are the same people who think typing words into a box is the same process as painting a picture and is a skill you can 'improve'
They're also creatively challenged so to them taking something from nature and altering it is no different to looking at an image you didn't make and just.... taking it...

Plagiarism/Art thievery isn't above the retarded niggers who use AI in any capacity beyond a casual muse or img2img using their own artwork on a custom model trained on their own work.

You could damn well call them NPC's or not human because they act like the concept of imagination and creativity is some necessary evil and not a fundamental part of being a human being.

God, don't get me started on this. The amount of time I've heard AI-NPCs talk about creativity like it's a barrier.
"So I'm just not Alloooowed to make art because I don't know how to?" You can just feel that the main drive behind it is a disdain for artists, a sort of destructive, all consuming anger fueled by envy that's normally reserved for the one fat girl in the friend group in the way she looks at her girlfriends while they eat their little yogurt cups. A mindset that is actively counterintuitive to improvement. It has to be one of god's big jokes. A goof.

Wanting everything to be AI based is commie as fuck, funnily enough. They talk about democratizing art and making it a free market and all that fancy sounding shit, but a field where the biggest limitation is your own skillset sounds a hell of a lot more democratized and free than some kinda communist wet dream where everyone has the same tool (created and curated for you by corporations, of course) to make the same crap, every end result looks the same, and creativity is discouraged.

The whole thing is only fitting for the consumerism thread, since these people view art as something to be consumed.
To want and NEED constant new stimulation so badly that you'll generate pictures, without human input or creativity or even a history or story to them, purely to glance at once and then hurriedly desire the next one, to want all media to lack any intent or beauty and just exist to be slurped up and discarded... The same people who dream of a world powered by AI are the most definitely the kinda people who are probably overtaken by constant consumption in all other fields of their life, too.

That Pokemon shit on last page cost way more than $5k, they're downplaying or misremembering the way chunkers do when they calorie count.

Ai art should have stayed considered a novelty rather than being allowed to be hyped up as a "replacement" of actual art in any capacity. The fake ass hype ended up spawning both sides of dumbasses that scream about it as a bad scary thing that needs to be censored (that sometimes also fucking use it as a replacement for actual work because they are fucking hypocrites) and people that frame it as if using an ai model they didn't even make that pulls from publicly available images to collage into something vaguely coherent is somehow superior to actual art with thought and time put into it.

Also the palworld drama/ai claim shit is fucking retarded because it's a literal parody game. No shit it's gonna base it's designs off pokemon!

That Pokemon shit on last page cost way more than $5k, they're downplaying or misremembering the way chunkers do when they calorie count.

Each one of those fucking plushies costs $15-$20 at MINIMUM considering they're all pretty modern ones. Custom/bigger ones probably costed about $50-$200 going by what I've seen price wise on that kind of thing.

Don't lump me in with the people who think that image generation models trained on artwork aren't violating copyright and whatnot. I detest the naming of these things, because they're nothing like artificial intelligence.

Speaking of Pokemon.

I tried my best at counting and hit 305 plushies visible, however a great number are blocked by the Lucarios and those shelves also are clearly stuffed farther back than is visible with the eye.
Assuming there are only 305 plushies (it's definitely much higher) and each is an average of 20 bucks (he said he buys from real sellers, and the big plushes probably roughly average out with the small ones)..... that's 6,100. Not including the merch laid in front, nor that the plushie count is obviously higher than 300, nor that the average cost very well may be higher than 20 per plush.

The weird thing to me is that so many of the plushies are duplicates. What drives you to repeatedly purchase the EXACT SAME Lucario? Okay, man has a Lucario obsession- but then why does he still have duplicates for random pokemon on some back shelf, like two of the exact same boring Gengar plushie? Did he forget what ones he already owned? Just doesn't care?

Looking at some of the other pictures, it shows the plushies clearly going floor-to-ceiling, including a lot more of the larger plushies.
There's no way this collection cost any less than 8k and is probably at LEAST 10k and could easily be much more.

It would be interesting to know if this guy collects the actual trading card game cards. I'm not really into the pokemon TCG but stuff like that can hold some value and people do get into it for financial reasons rather than enjoying the game. People buy boxes upon boxes of newly released sets with the hopes that the price of their contents will increase with time. But.... plushies? Maybe some of those Christmas themed or limited edition plushies could kinda hold value, but in general.... no one wants a pre-owned stuffed animal like that. This collection might have cost 10k to buy, but he'd be lucky to sell it for 1/10th that.

From a brief look through his reddit, he definitely owns at least some pokemon cards, and apparently owns/rents a house. God, why is it always the furries with all the money? I would bet dollars to donuts that he has some obtuse tech job.

for the picture
people like these most certainly buy and consume largely just to show off, it doesn't evoke the right appearance if it doesn't look good in the picture and on the shelf

 

[Judge Dredd]

Wasn't the complaint against Palworld that it uses stolen assets and stolen art to generate their designs? Not so much that it's "dark"

It turned out to all be faked by angry pokemon fans.

Some older Pokemon plushies still sell for quite a bit. You're looking at 20usd to 50usd per depending on the character. "Vintage" 1999 pillow sized ones sell for over 90 sometimes.. They'll cost even more if they were bought at the Pokemon Centre

Makes me think of the zoosadists that would buy multiple Pocahontas racoon plushies to do....stuff....with.

So I read the discussion about AI art and then went about my day. Just now in my household an add caught my attention (husband keeps using YouTube on the Roku TV without AdBlock) and it was Alphabet trying to show off AI tools as being this wholesome thing, allowing a little girl to turn a mundane photo into a dragon. It just seemed dystopian to me, even though I don't tend to get hysterical about things. Making shitty drawings and art as a little kid in order to realize my imagination was a huge part of my, our, growing up. Took way too much effort, was all terribly done when I happen upon things stored in shoeboxes, and yet, was not a waste of time. Eye-hand motor skills, observation, imagination stretching. But now, why bother when you can make perfect images in seconds? Yawn, right?
So it doesn't involve physical objects but it just seems so empty, as has been stated. I don't even have a problem with using AI for assistance, I just think it's a problem for beings like us, who are still flesh and bone primates, to completely avoid all challenges and struggles.
Anyway...that's just my thoughts. My kids have access to all the physical art supplies they want and I cherish every weird ass thing they make.

IMO. Most modern day images churned out by the masses isn’t “art.” All the fuckwads I see in real life bitching about AI “art” are the same weirdos that poorly draw Pokémon hentai. They don’t want to improve their skills. They don’t make actual art. They’re not thoughtful or creative. Just endless shitty fan art you’d find in droves on DeviantArt. Literal middle school level drawing skill - no desire to actually improve at all.

Just because something is an image - or a drawing - doesn’t make it “art.” AI images aren’t art. That’s why they can replace images that also aren’t art. Think about images used in marketing. That shit isn’t “art” - it’s soulless. Most shit has no soul.

If you’re an actual artist making art, you’re fine. Because AI doesn’t make art. It makes the same static noise as the human masses.

Children’s art actually should have soul and putting AI image creation in their hands is pointless and destructive.

If it ever replaces the childhood development phase of "fucking around with crayons so you can cringe at it 20 years later" just like Youtube Kids has started to replace "crawling around outdoors digging holes & lighting insects on fire with a Zippo" then yes, it is unequivocally bad and should be rooted out, benefits be damned.
