AI Art Seething General

I saw some more rational responses against these two posts in particular. Would it reasonable or naïve to think these fearmongering reactionary types are starting to get public pushback for once or this just hopium?
Hopium. Also how about you people archive your shit.

AI isn't threatening at all because it can only replicate shiny high detailed art you see on PixIV, it cannot replicate something simple that your friend with 200 followers does. If you give "in the art style of fartingsparkles32" to an AI, it will ignore it because it does not know who "fartingsparkles32" is.
So, artists like fartingsparkles32 are safe, and their art will be more valuable since it's very unlikely for an AI to replicate what he does.

Unless, there's an AI that can clone art styles in the same way that ElevenLabs does with voice.
>It can only replicate-
As long as it can be described people will probably narrow it down to an algorithm. The only thing AI can't do is something not well described and in the realm of subjectivity, but that is something incapable to replicate by humans either. If someone can distinguish between the styles of different artists, AI, with just machine learning a few years ago can probably figure it out as well. How long do you think it will be that AI's will be able to succinctly describe a piece of medium verbally and you can put that back into a prompt? That is more complicated but it doesn't sound outlandish anymore considering we've passed several levels of absurdity with AI.

Really the only thing that will prevent machine's reaching complete human capabilities, is that it might turn out that the cost of development of making AI completely human isn't worth the benefit of making a completely human-like AI. I mean are companies going to invest in a machine that contemplates resisting its owners, much less a machine that is capable of unionizing?
 
I kinda wonder how well AI will get in terms of scene generating or panel handling in regards to the context of comics. Like take for instance stonetoss comics, if you fed an AI all of his comics and churned them out, they'd probably look like incomprehensible splotches with no cohesion since ST very meticulously (no better word to describe it sry) positions and draws his comics with intent and a vision in his mind over how the joke will go. The AI doesn't know how Stonetoss comics will play out, at best it just as a general idea over how his artstyle is like and not how a standard 'toss comic is structured. And this goes for other comics on the web as well with more or less simplified artstyles.
Of course if those artists were smart, they'd use AI to create less workload and fix up any mistakes the output generated and fix the positioning, joke structure, word bubbles etc. etc. But for right now it seems like those making comics will either have to wait until whatever image generation program gets better or train their own AI program to draw for them, however long that would take.

To me, this seems like a solvable problem. You don’t train blindly on comics, but panels, and then you do the layout yourself. Stonetoss *panels* are quite formulaic, and the panel layouts are pretty standard, too. I’m sure you could go one level higher and have the AI learn how to do a panel layout, gutter size, speech bubbles, but it’s easier to do that yourself. Most AI comics seem to have gone with this approach so far.
 
AI art issues that are common now will be scarce in 2-3 years. It can copy the art style of any artist you have samples for. And there is a demographic of cheapasses who would have reluctantly paid for commissions, but will use the AI or pay someone else (less) to use the AI.
That actually does present legal issues especially if it's explicitly ripping off a style, and even more so if it's creating literal fakes and otherwise acting as a market substitute, not necessarily as a direct copyright claim but maybe as a right of publicity claim of some sort (like the Tom Waits case where he sued for ripping off his voice with an imitator for a Dorito's ad he'd refused to do for them).

You'd really have to have a distinctive almost trademarkable style to make such a claim though. Most furfag art and animu shit is so samey nobody really owns it, and it's mainly these seething whiners who are complaining. If you ripped off something more specific with commercial value, such as ripping off the Sanrio style, they could probably figure out something to go after you for, although the contours of the legal doctrines will probably take years to develop.
Spot the hidden and flawed premises of this tweet!
So if according to this mongoloid, AI art is literal shit, then what does it say if his own art is indistinguishable from literal shit?

Very nice self-own though.

So somebody redrew that picture I posted earlier from Twitter.
Imo it looks even more dog shit than the original AI version.
Here are the two images side by side, for lazy people like me.

Having multiple characters (without them turning into blobs) is something that AI (or at least my average attempt) has some trouble with, so I think that addition is a point in favor, considering current limitations. I think the AI's has a better amount of detail (on things like clothes and the food) and use of light and shadow, but I'm not an artist, so I know fuck-all. Copying the AI's garbled "Happy" text is a cute touch.

I just personally find the “redraw” version to look more sloppy and less detailed than the AI generated version, the food is the biggest difference I first spotted as the AI has not just the noodles but there’s more to it than the vaguely slopped on shit the human™ artist painted. I will agree adding more characters in the background definitely helps make the environment more alive and fitting for the original title from the original AI artist.

Was the one on the left supposed to be the wolf from Puss in Boots, or am I just confused? The one on the right (the human drawn one) looks nothing like the movie character.

AI one looks a lot more striking, contrasted, clear and stunning. The one of the left looks more washed out and blotchy.

I believe it’s just my bias opinion for liking stark contrasting art more than smooth textureless art. The AI art could easily use some touch ups on photoshop without much artistic skill to give a bit more emphasis on the art itself and fix some errors such as the humanoid fingers and text.

Am retarded and just realized I wrote "left" instead of "right" for the human-made art. Basically I'm agreeing with you is what I'm saying.

Why is he redrawn to be so upset?
