AI Art Seething General

I was going to show this account seething when anyone liked the images but I've checked today and it's locked.

Wait wtf is mid journey doing? They're actually staking claim on the images people make with a neural net? The shaky legal waters begin.
I'm of the opinion that a lot of the issues of AI Art generation best fall under "undefined or murky legal waters", though I have noticed this when browsing CivitAI for models:

Good luck enforcing that.
 
Jake from Corridor Crew gives a rundown on the class-action lawsuit brought against Stability Ai and the argument of AI art being transformative work, as well as the four factors what courts consider fair use. With all the spergging on both sides, nice to get a more nuanced take (though I'm sure the anti AI art people will try to cancel Corridor Crew).
 
The existence of “both sides” already pisses me off. Most of the opinions I’ve seen wouldn’t even be worthy of toilet paper. Informed opinions are rare, and measured responses rarer still. There has not yet been a single person who has uttered the phrase “ethical concerns” who actually had ethical concerns. And then many of these “ethicists” calling for copyright strengthening in the same breath? Daddy Disney isn’t paying you in perpetuity for your art any time soon, don’t you worry.

All of this useless fucking litigation about “what is original” or “what is art” will go nowhere because it’s already had its intended chilling effect. Getty is big corporate scum, then will use any mental gymnastics necessary to protect their own interests, even being actively and openly anti-human progress.

Don’t get me wrong, AI Reddit is annoying as shit, full of the most basic of tastes, filtered through the internet’s loser producer; but even they have finally started to criticize their three art styles and five subjects.

But the Anti-AI crowd will never get that level of awareness.

The AI art crowd that shuts the fuck up and just explores what the new tools can do, building models, checkpoints, hyper networks, embeddeding etc… those are the only good people here, who know what the fuck is happening. If you participate in the “discourse” you are less than informed; you are actively misinformed.
 
You know what else I have noticed?

AI does horror really well. You could argue that the right program does everything well, and maybe. But every so often you run across an AI image that comes as close as possible to emulating a real nightmare you may have, or matching up to the exact shapes and lines that compose the thing that you personally imagine to be the most terrifying image possible.

A funny thing happens when you look at such an image enough times: it stops being spooky. Maybe that is the point of why fear can feel so fun sometimes...you're supposed to discover as many possible combinations of shapes, lines, ideas, or concepts as you can and familiarize yourself with them, so that at the end of it all you aren't afraid of anything anymore.
 
As an artist, I can understand (but don't agree) why some artists seethe at AI Art, and their issues with 'AI Art Theft' (though it brings up interesting questions about Warhol, Lichtenstein, Koon, Fairey and Banksy's work). I am disgusted at how quickly they would happily destroy the concept of Fair Use to own the 'AI Chuds' (not to mention freedom of expression). Art theft has always been around and it sucks, but the way Twatter artists are going about this is the equivalent of Comicon banning Artist Alley to stop Rob Granito.

On the other hand, I hate bugmen that push AI Art has 'Democratized' art and now anyone can make it, when the truth is they just want something without putting the work in.

(I guarantee that if you told the same people you used AI to write code, you're not a real coder, lol)

AI Art can be a pretty amazing tool, Australian comic book artist Tim Malloy uses AI Art to create production stills of 1980's television shows from another dimension.

But now it seems that the AI vs Artist argument might be the least of AI developers concerns.

The same thing will happen to ChatGPT that happened to stuff like Google or Youtube search. They used to be really good at helping you find what you want and have become completely unusable, unless you want a specific Wikipedia article or are looking to buy something from amzon.
They will cripple it and bow to sensibilities until it's mostly useless.

The only AI programs that will be worth a damn will be the open source ones.

Most artists suck at anatomy, proportions and the general understanding of shapes and let's not even talk about mastering composition.
I see so many artists that only look for updoots with nicely rendered digital paintings on artstation, even among so called professionals and don't care to get decent at the fundamentals of art, which are proportion, anatomy, shapes and space.
Which is extremely funny since the AI is excellent at shading/rendering.

Da. Vomiting various computer lighting effects or photography lighting techniques into the front part of your prompt get's you nice looking shit.

This one is fucked up but I really like how the grass, sky, and hair look so I did not delete it.

Some AI artists are now saying flat out they will be making OnlyFans accounts and using AI to generate the models. Get ready for some fun times boys, this is going to get hilarious.
With how pornsick coomers are I wouldn't be surprised if that actually became a thing. Those people will get weirdly attached to the most random shit as long as they can beat their meat to it

Re the 2nd point that anon said. knowing how some redditors were able to take down conservative subreddits by posting their CP on them, I was expecting that once the real freaks made their hyper realistic AI generated CP they'd clamp down on it. But they've the AoC had been talked a lot recently. We're about to enter clownworld, and by clown I mean the IT clown
