AI Art Seething General

I've never seen AI put out something clean that looks like this, it relies on hyper detail to cover up the weird smudges and whorls, and thus a simpler style actually highights AI's shortcomings—ironically, it can't emulate simplified art, at least as far as I'm aware (feel free to prove me wrong). If you're commissioning an artist it's because they have a je ne sais quois the other lack whether that be context or style, and frankly there's an overabundance of artists who do the stuff AI draws the heaviest from.
I wouldn't put stock into thinking this will remain AI's shortcomings. I looked into the samples from the Dall-E's website and found these two. Right now it's really obvious but at a distance, it's hard to tell the flaws, and I bet it'll eventually smooth out these issues.

Well shit, better get to eating my hat. Good thing I'm not someone who takes commissions.

There have been more and more artists wishing for even more copyright law to own the AI bros and prevent their art from being "stolen", unaware that any expansion to copyright law will only fuck themselves in the ass.
I've met people like this. They are extremely delusional. They think that if the copyright laws clamp down on "art thieves" (read; people with ideas vaguely like theirs) or Tech Bros they'll win big and be able to monopolize entire concepts. They drool over the idea of being able to copyright color pallets.
So I was having an argument about AI art and while I can sympathize with artists feeling concerned about the future of their work they are such entitled faggots that it almost makes me want them to get fucked.

The way I look at it, if AI art can help you achieve your dream of creating something you've always wanted to make, then there is nothing wrong with you fulfilling your dream by using it. I asked "What if you can't afford to pay an artist?" And they said "Then you wait until you fucking can or you don't get to make your shit."

Maybe I'm just being autistic but that rubbed me the wrong way. I told them they aren't entitled to my money the same way I'm not entitled to their art and got told I was being an asshole.
It'll help people who have little to no artistic ability in many ways. If you're making mods for your favorite video game and want to use new images,cions and textures it will help a ton. It would be waste to hire an artist to make these things for a video game mod. If you have actual talent and skill AI generated images will be an amazing; it can further augment the skills you already have and even speed up tedious work. Imagine being able to pose a scene with 10 or 20 characters in under an hour.
I've noticed all the artists who're like "uh you need to fucky wucky pay me or you're not allowed to do anything!!!" and who sneethe about AI art are almost universally dogshit. Often SJW beanmouth tranny shit too.
You should see the stipulations they want on things even if you pay them. Some want it only if some prompts prohibit their characters/style or if the image contains anything they don't like, they want the ability to take it down.

At the end of the day it's really all about control to these people. They hate the feeling that other people can just create art without needing to involve them and they have no say over the final product. That's the actual reason why they seethe over AI art.

I think people overestimate the ratio of people who will switch as a result of AI art. Part of why people commission from other artists is because of the parasocial aspect between the artist and patron. Clearly, something made by a real celebrity feels more valuable than something synthesized. AI art is going to be used by people who have never commissioned in their life.

Basically, the battle AI art is going to have isn't between AI art and human artist, it's AI art and fucking Go-Animate.

They finally moved on from the "sampling muh art is theft!" line, eh?

Artists' inspirations for their styles aren't always 100% conscious, and when you're actively influenced by a specific artist or style, you're working from the stuff THEY were influenced by as well via proxy.
 
Saw a really well-received game on Steam the other day. It used AI for its portraits, which apparently warranted several negative reviews. This one-man studio could've just not used portraits, but instead, they used AI to add it. A feature, free of charge, through AI.

"Fuck your entire fucking game, bitch" says the consumer. Cause AI allowed them to add more content to the game without raising the price and extending the release date. The whole AI debate reminds me of artists on Twitter who post a 6-hour art piece only to get 5 likes, whereas someone else posts a funny sketch comic and get 5000. They think time and manner matters more than the product. Fucking tards should try getting a real job in which you want to sell the best product at the lowest price, not just simply whine about "the art industry" as you charge $60 an hour.

Imagine getting mad because someone can produce more art than you. I shit out more art than 99% of artists because I'm a fast artist and I'm good at what I do. Stop fucking whining because you're not as productive as a machine.
 
1. You don't have a choice.
2. We done been living in one.
Personally I have mixed feelings about what this technology implies for the future and try not to let pro/anti stuff cloud me view, even if it means 'owning' someone I'd normally find intolerable.
But I will say that the implementation of AI art has greatly revealed the biggest hypocrites in art. For them, it was never really about intellectual property or what constitutes as art or whatever, they just wanna come out on top at the end of the day, even if the logic they provide contradicts itself.

As for what you said, I completely disagree, as long as you hold out hope for a better future, whatever you may see it to be, then the path to its existence will always be there.... as cheesy as that sounds. If you never let yourself succumb to complete futility and despair, then they haven't truly won.
 
The funny thing I find most enjoyable about the AI upswell and resultant seething is that when it was miners and manufacturers being put out of work by outsourcing and automation, the intellectual and artist classes were the ones telling the disaffected to simply reskill instead of crying over their lost jobs and shattered livelihoods. I propose the same now. Learn to plumb you lazy fucks; the economy's moving to a model where there's no room for your skills anymore -- deal with it.

The cartoonist is shit. And slow. And jelly. And derivative.

Please someone, prompt the AI to make a better version of this shitty little "I made this" meme, and then reply to the cartoonist with it.

Chad AI, monitoring a Rube Goldberg machine, with the visual history of the world as the garbage in, and with an Alexandrian Library of neatly catalogued I MADE THIS memes as the garbage out.

Virgin Cartoonist, scribbling furiously on his Wacom tablet, fingers sore from all the CTRL-Z'ing, remembering back to his mediocre grades in art school and especially to his professors telling him that his work is derivative and cliche, crumpled up papers all over the floor, and finally he clicks POST and it's his shitty little cartoon.

This remember about the sparkle dog era on deviantart. People were bitching about color stealing and what not. yeah artist are that pety and egoistical AI art only have shown their true color
 
"Wow, this looks very good!"
>no it doesn't
"This looks like a marked improvement over previous examples."
>no it isn't
"Even if this tech isn't that improved now, it will likely improve greatly in the future."
>i don't care

Wow, what a master debater. AICHUDS BTFO!
he'd be the type to say "I don't care" 50 times in a row over the course of an hour.
