first it was just the art and i was like "ok i can live with that" but then they wanted the code thing too and im like why tho? youre telling me solo devs dont want people to have an edge over other solo devs? furthermore, how can you prove you werent using the ai stuff to begin with
 
It seems like what a lot of artists want to make most these days is money.
That's really what all this AI business is about.

If you interpret this hullaballoo about AI as pertaining to "ethics", then this unironic discussion of things such as copyrights for art styles would seem utterly incomprehensible to you.

If you interpret this hullaballoo about AI as pertaining to economics, as pertaining to the average Artist On Twitter:tm: probably having to lower their commission costs due to the proliferation of generative AI, then it instantly all makes sense.

The funniest thing is, many of these people would probably whine endlessly about how "commercialized" and "commodified" and "corporatized" and "anti-creativity" our culture is, yet they're going crazy because they might have to charge less for their mediocre digital art, often derivative of preexisting IPs, all the while pretending that their commissions aren't a business in and of itself.

I think the best use of AI right now would be using GPT to write hysterical clickbait articles like this about how horrible AI is and put these clowns out of work. I bet they'd be better at it than these clowns.

Hmm, well okay.

I don't know what I was expecting. Actually something more or less like this.

Come to think of it, it is pretty much exactly what a malevolent AI still at our mercy would say.

Like any other ai content bans all this'll do is encourage the devs to hide the fact they are using ai generated content. It's too much of a godsend especially considering texturing alone. This will just lead to GMTK wildly accusing creators of using ai work and rub everyone the wrong way.
 
Gonna be honest with you: AI art weirds me out.

Most of what's on the front page of DeviantArt these days is AI-made. It makes the Dead Internet Theory more plausible.
I think much like any tool, it's how it's used. For example, my pfp. Was a photoshop of composite stock pictures I spent probably around an hour or two making. Type a prompt into google such as "man in suit, red tie" or "capuchin monkey". Take the images, use a feather selection tool, put them together and I have the old pfp.

This new one is also a composite image. I typed the same prompts into an AI generator with one addition: "René Magritte styled". Same process to find and take the pieces to slap them together, similar prompts typed in, same amount of time to make the end product. This one matches the idea I came up with far better, in my opinion, than my old one. Is it not my creation, just because I used AI assets?
 
Late to this because I don't have Twitter. The System Shock remake Twitter account posted an AI generated image of Shodan to market the game, since its about a rogue AI.

As you can guess, the Twitter dwellers had an absolute shit fit over this.

It goes on for quite a while, check the tweet if you want more.

They then clarified the purpose, to illustrate an AI as envisioned by an AI, thematic to the game and all that. Twitter hated that even more.

Pretty much every response to the final tweet is negative, not capping because its all just the same (also a disproportionate amount of flags in usernames...)

One of them even posted to the Steam Forums about it and got decently clowned on.

Funny reply.

This is apparently after Atari settled a deal to purchase Nightdive Studios, so a lot of Twittards are blaming Atari for this. As per usual in situations like this, it seems all the complainers on Twitter aren't the people actually buying the games, because they released a new trailer today and I can't find anyone complaining about said AI stuff in the comments.
 
So they think the Prince Photo case is a Silver Built aganist ai
1684554317036.png1684554353370.png

AI FAIR-USE DESTROYED: Supreme Court ruled that Andy Warhol Foundation was NOT allowed to use a famous photographer's [Goldsmith] creative work of Prince to make "new" pictures.

THIS DECISION is sending shockwaves throughout the AI world, and the comparative AI fair-use argument used by generative AI supporters has a new context and precedent. AI companies are claiming they can steal BILLIONS of creative works without consent or compensation to train their AI models to make "new" images, music, and media in output. NOPE...

ORIGINAL COMPLAINT: In the case "Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith", the artist Andy Warhol's foundation got into a disagreement with a photographer named Goldsmith. Goldsmith told the foundation that they were using her photograph of Prince (the musician) without her permission, which she believed was against the rules.

The foundation disagreed with her. They said that their artwork of Warhol, which was based on her photograph, either wasn't breaking the rules or was fair-use. So, they went to court to get a decision on who was right. And Goldsmith, the photographer and artist, won the dispute.

Here are the details and legal ramifications moving forward for AI:

Training Data and Volume of Use: Generative AI models typically require vast amounts of data for training. If a substantial portion of this data is copyrighted material, it could potentially be seen as infringing, especially if the AI's output is commercially exploited. The cumulative use of copyrighted materials could be substantial, even if each individual instance might be seen as a small portion of the total data. This ruling may inspire stricter scrutiny of the sources of training data for AI models, highlighting the need for clearer permissions and rights for the use of copyrighted content.

Trouble for AI Developers and Users: The decision in this case underscores the importance of copyright considerations in AI development and usage. Developers are now forced to exercise due diligence to ensure their training data doesn't infringe on copyrights of artists and creators. ALSO this may put further liability on USERS of AI technology who could be potentially held liable for AI model's copyright issues, even if the AI generates soc-called "new" or transformative content.

Accountability, Ethics, and the Need for Clear Legal Guidelines: This case raises ethical questions about the responsibility of AI developers to respect copyright and other legal and ethical guidelines in AI training, and regulation.

AI reckoning is mounting.

So they think the Prince Photo case is a Silver Built aganist ai
Mmm, yeah. . .no. Nobody here should even really need an explanation but there are a lot of confounding factors including that the original contract allowing the use of the work explicitly specified it was a one-time use, then VF bypassed paying Goldsmith again by licensing another Warhol that was basically just a palette swap on the original one-time use.

Fair dealing would require them to pay Goldsmith again instead.*

That really muddles the analysis for any case that involves strangers aggregating publicly available work to create work that is directly derivative of none of them but is merely used to generate mathematical models of what things look like.

It might be relevant to cases like dA where they have vague terms of service and then grab enormous amounts of other people's work subject to that agreement and use them in ways that were never foreseen by their users, i.e. dumping them all into an AI, while making it nearly impossible to opt out without tremendous effort.

Really just the first factor is so vastly different that it breaks any parallelism between the cases, though. The Warhol work is "minimally transformative," that is, it is barely different than the original work allegedly being infringed. Anyone can tell they're derived from the same source, much as the usual 4-panel Warhols that were just recolors of the first panel.

Nobody can point at an AI generated work and say "THERE! THAT PIXEL THERE! THAT ONE'S MINE!"

*ETA: and the case itself notes and explicitly limits its analysis to the sole issue of whether the licensing of this particular work to Conde Nast was fair use, not as to whether Warhol's own original creations were fair use.

The Court limits its analysis to the specific use alleged to be infringing in this case—AWF’s commercial licensing of Orange Prince to Condé Nast—and expresses no opinion as to the creation, display, or sale of the original Prince Series works.
(note this is from the Syllabus which is NOT part of the case but an unofficial summary by unnamed Court personnel)


tl;dr this is a very narrow ruling with little to no applicability to anything related to AI, it is about fair use in the licensing context, explicitly excluding the creation or dissemination of original derivative works. That said expect to see it cited whether correctly or not.

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

️ AI DISCUSSION So this gained a lot more traction than I expected so I want to quickly address the issue of using AI voice cloning (especially in light of recent AI music issues). AI art is not art!!! AI music is not music!!!!!!! Traditionally creative media that are mostly or completely generated should not be classified and treated as art and are a growing threat to creatives. That said, they may not be “good enough” overall to replace actual creatives yet, but PLEASE DO NOT immediately dismiss all AI creations as being low quality. That diverts people’s attention from the fact that AI creations are becoming better and more convincing at a rapid pace, and covering up the actual issue for the easier, more popular option of trashing the AI itself helps no one! That AI Drake track that swept social media this week didn’t even sound that bad, and that’s scary as hell. AI creations aren’t bad because they look or sound bad. They’re bad because they’re getting better and people see them as a replacement for actual art. Shutdown, Tyler and I are all experienced musicians and we understand this issue completely. The only AI-assisted part of this track were the vocals, which still required a good impression to use as input data (otherwise the Jay Kay clone wouldn’t sound right). Everything else in this track was produced digitally by hand. The lyrics and composition are completely original aside from a few deliberate references. However, we did not get permission from the real Jay Kay to train the model on the vocal stems he has released, and I won’t pretend this isn’t a problem. Hopefully our intentions make this slightly less concerning—this video is not monetized and we tried to make it clear that this is not actually Kay singing. Please don’t tell yourself this video and similar content is a replacement for new Jamiroquai music. This is only meant to be a meme and, at most, a tribute to the band‘s sound. I plan to never make original unironic content that uses AI to impersonate a real artist or is made to deceive. Thank you for all the comments praising our creativity and I also appreciate the skepticism and cautious approach regarding AI. But no matter what, I will not stand for the idea that AI is its own creative art and I resent comments that defend this video under that pretense
All these words under a meme video that basically amounts to "me no leik AI because it's better than me, REEEEEEEEEEEE >:(" Even more hypocritical since here he is saying "ai isn't art" and yet here he is; using ai, as a tool, to make his own art. :roll:
 
Most Likely Fake propaganda because Normies can't tell the difference from Ai & Sci-fi art
It's true, normies really can't tell the difference. Anything with extra eyeballs or arms is now AI art to them. I will say as an artist who does scifi and surreal art, it gets a little disheartening seeing the growing "this is AI" from the normies in comment sections for things I spent 40-60 hours hand making and decades training my monkey brain to do. I think AI can be a great tool, especially for finding references that would otherwise take hours or days to locate by hand for oddly specific things you're struggling with. It is heartening though when I see stuff like a piece inspired someone to write a short story or whatever, so that keeps me trucking.
 
That very thing that has been prophesied to be the terrifying thing to replace us has ultimately became an outlet for producing some of the best things that mock this very realm we live in. Here are some of the best examples.
If AI was originally made to be the very thing to replace us, it has ultimately backfired as people found a way to use it for experimentation and commentary on our world. Something that terrifies whoever wants to replace us. We welcomed AI with open arms and it really paid off.
 
This guy I watched few times in past made this video.
First +- 10 minutes are kinda good he explains how AI art works . But after that he starts seething. I will watch bit more to see if he says something interesting.

Anyway like it or not these programs are here to stay if you like it or not is irelevantní.

Edit: unpaused video and he spergs about ethics and what example he uses?
Fact that AI can make Racist sexist antisemitic Art.
Mom this program generated picture of monkey when I typed Nigger !!!!!
Ah humanity.
