qrd: Glaze's effectiveness at doing what it claims to do (protect artists from AI scraping) is questionable.

Oddly defensive and confrontational response from the official Glaze account.

Also, Glaze takes a while. Multiple hours for one image, depending on your connection, the amount of 'glazing' you'd like, and your GPU/CPU. If they want to make it marketable to the average digital artist, they're going to have to cut the waiting time WAY down.

I know because I've tried it. I wasn't willing to wait for something that messed a bit too much with the colors of my paintings for my liking. I can be a bit of a bitch about those :/

As for the defensive reply, it's likely that the people who run the account are on the team working on it. For them, I'd just like to say, don't take it personally lol. If you'd really like to improve your program, listen to people who are lending you a hint.

tbh it kinda sounds like it's just a crypto miner that spits out the image you input into it with a lazy old-school AI snaildog effect applied.
Everything I read about it is incredibly vague shit about "invisible dimensions" and "trust us bro."
That and the premise of it is flawed from the get-go. It claims to protect an artist's "style", but there aren't really any provable results. Everyone using it is a rando twitter artist whose style isn't represented in any way in the grand scheme of all collected data. It's not like you can ask the AI to make [prompt] in [random Twitter user]'s style. The literal only application it has (if it even accomplishes to do what it claims) is to "poison the well" for future engines trained on only "Glazed" artwork. Like an artist who's ONLY shared their work after it's been Glazed could get some benefit from it if they became so popular that their name became synonymous with their style. Artists who already had their stuff online has already been scraped and most artists will never become popular enough for their "style" to be recognizable by AI among literal billion of other images.
Additionally, Glaze is extra-useless against img2img. They even admit to it on their website. They state that Glaze would only protect from img2img if you fucked up the original image so that even humans wouldn't be able to tell what the fuck it was supposed to be originally, which you can do for free, on your own by just fucking up the image yourself on any image editor. No weird processes running on your GPU/CPU needed.
 
I don't think these "artists" understand the purpose of true art. Art above all things is an expression of the human condition or appealing to it. For example, when I trained a Hypernetwork on an artist I liked, I figured out why he was so successful. The guy cranks out 50 commissions a month or more and a lot of them are similar. He draws strange characters with odd proportions and color schemes, but they all have something in common. They are proud and unabashed in who they are and always seem like they are coming to you as a friend. The hypernetwork perfectly emulated the strange proportions of his characters, but it was never able to create the feeling that they were happy or proud of the strange things they were, and that more than anything is what keeps people coming back.

I feel like there can be a way more effective Glaze alternative, the caveat being it utilizes the same kind of unethical image training that the audience for Glaze hates. The biggest thing holding back adversarial AI tool is their insistence on ethics.
 
I like how people still have the fuckin GALL to call something like this trash or "not art" for using AI when other high effort shit like this would not have sold its premise well if it was just a kinda good impersonator.
Yes you can tell the AI rears its robotic head a bit at certain points, but for the most part people would probably look at this and think "wow is this really a Chowder leak with Chowder voice actors?" Once again, truly asinine these faggots don't appreciate the work and effort put into these things just because it features synthesized voices.
 
My favorite part is all the people telling the animator that they should have just recruited volunteer VAs. Unpaid volunteers. Which is hilarious, because this is the same group of people that believe artists should never work "for exposure" and should always be paid a living wage. But as long as it is dunking on AI, unpaid work is okay I guess.

They're being paid in exposure. :lol:
 

New Corridor anime, made ethically this time.

Oh boy the replies are gonna be fun
> EtHiCaLlY sOuRcEd
>it looks way shittier now
Why must niggerfaggot trannies ruin everything?

It's still conceptually brilliant and wonderfully directed, but it really feels like a step down visually. I don't think it's even the style, it looks more like the AI wasn't trained as well this time or something.
 
The weirdest part is people thinking AI art enjoyers would be commissioning artists for every picture they generated. I certainly didnt do that, before I started generating my own art i'd just find some random image on a booru site and move on.
sounds very similar to the arguments i heard back when mp3 file sharing started getting big, along with most other arguments surrounding ai. i wonder how many anti-ai artists are listening to unlicensed music mixes on youtube while they draw furry porn with a pirated copy of photoshop...

The best thing AI art has done so far is expose the hypocrisy and grift of many artist types, it was never about "soul" or "passion" it's just a bunch of self entitled crybabies upset that their exclusive club has something that could knock the treehouse down and challenge their egos that have reached supernova size because of social media publicity, clout, and money feeding it beyond their control
 
My hatred for artists is unreal; their constant moaning is why we have garbage like copyright and other crap so they can pretend they are not starving artists when it only benefits the big companies. Artists are like scientists in my experience; they are the most arrogant, pretentious dickheads who have such a high sense of self-importance who think that the world would die without some stupid artist, taping a banana to a wall and calling it art, total artist death.
