AI Art Seething General

Looks like the guy who made controlnet and other stuff just got doxxed

EDIT: Found the original link:

This other person also has some very "with us or against us" attitude regarding ai. wonder why he's not getting any success in his career.

A fucking what? There are actual laws making this specific act illegal?

edit: The dox is literally just information on his github page, and he's pretty open about who he is and his achievements. This is a total nothing burger of a dox.

If anything, it kinda shows how the person making these tools tend to be way more accomplished and normal than the average twitter artist.

Reminder, this rant is probably made by someone whomakes shitty fetish art synonymous with the term "content", but then suddenly when AI can do the type of shit they make instantly and much cheaper, they suddenly say their crap is high-class art that is admired for anything but horny content. They really do want to paint themselves as better people than they really are.
 
I think you need a degree of mental stability to get anything deep out of art other than "that's a pretty sight, that is visually interesting, I like looking at this, that is inspiring to new ideas" out of art. Ironically these trannies have twisted art into being some kind of inherently meaning absurd idea that a fan in a plexiglass cage is now 'art' because some faggot died of AAAAIDS or something. Trannies are so universally retarded that they looked at a money laundering scheme and twisted it into "omg this is so artful uwu". I have 0 issues with AI art because AI art fills a very utilitarian role. It can be easily mass produced, it gets the idea across, it is cromulent enough to communicate what needs to be communicated. And it itself is a tool for artists to integrate into their workflow. If someone wants to make art with """soul""" there is nothing stopping them from just doing that.
There is also another angle to the AI is art theft narrative. The way AIs work, neural networks, is inspired by the way brains work, and it is easy to draw the comparisons. There are a lot of behaviors in animals, and in humans (behaviors you can point out just looking at yourself) that make a lot more sense now that we have the broadened perspective of working with AI. For instance, when you walk somewhere, you don't manually move your muscles one foot in front of another. It is all handled subconsciously by your brain, which you have trained over your life to walk and avoid obstacles, correct errors, balance, etc. Learning any skill is the same concept, muscle memory as a whole is your brain autonomously acting. It opens up a lot of questions about the nature of animal intelligence, and the nature of our own consciousness. But, more importantly...
It could be said that AI art models are merely drawing inspiration from the art you show them, with a mechanism almost identical to how you would draw inspiration from seeing art to make something of your own. Which naturally leads to the utterly absurd dystopian idea of punishing taking inspiration from a work under copyright. Chew on that lmao

Against Intellectual Monopoly was a really great book when it came to expanding upon why copyright rarely does what it's supposed to do (helping artists and increasing creative output), if my memory of reading it serves me right. Copyright in general is just insane, especially since all the term limits are 70+ years almost everywhere you go because of trade agreements like the WTO. At this point, abolishing intellectual property in general outright, except for trademarks, should be seriously discussed more often, though sadly most critiques to copyright still just amount to "we should reduce their limits somewhat" at most.
 
The real joke is that even though ethical generative models exist, artists seethe at them even more (as they legally cannot do anything against them).
I prefer art generated from ethical sources due to the significant benefits that machine learning brings to the creative process. It's not like digital art has a ton of features that soften artist process. The irrational responses continue to baffle me, even though a significant number of artists use machines in their work. This behavior could be explained by a lack of professionalism, as most sane and rational professionals don't mind this sort of thing. As a matter of fact, they were the pioneers that laid the groundwork for the crap these people take for granted.

Vocaloids kinda put precedence in normalizing buying someone's voice for a flat fee to create a generative voice algorithm, and this has been happening for years before the AI in the state we see today.

It kinda is, now that I think about it. Which is all the more ironic that the Miku aughts on twitter are using the voice synthesizer mascot to say "A.I. bad"

We don't know if they get royalties, I'm not even sure if they do get royalties is rate based or percentage-based, but they sure as hell not getting paid relative to the success of projects that use their voice.

He had me until he started talking about being a scab.
Wi tha, though, I started to realise why others oppose AI while otherwise being deep in technology; th i similar to Marxist unions protesting against being replaced with machines ince many years ago.

He had another point: AI s not a the point where the finer details, including anatomy, proportion, composition, or even lettering become reliable, especially to an amateur artist.

Honestly, these contradictions also make sense if you see them from a Marxist perspective.
In Marxism, the proletariat are agains the borgeoise. In this case, corporations and the tech bros that suppor those corporations are borgeoise, hence stealing from them is a right. Despite the actual facts, these current-day Marxists think tha they are the proletariat, especially since they claim to suppor tru equality. Under Marxism, tru equality depends on subverting or even outright destroying current institutions and remaking them under truly equal ones. The proletariat is always right. Even if God is dead, the proletariat are the ones with any true meaning, since they provide labour, which is the only true measure of value.

From another standpoint, an oft-repeated piece of art advise is 'draw from life'. Not even Roman statues ar enough.

I am not 100% sure on wha the strawman meant by 'Just learn to code chud! Progress is a good thing!', though. I would talk about machines getting rid of hand-made stuff, bu these tankies barely have a view of history, hence they would not know much about how the assembly line put other hand-workers out of business.

By the by, that 'wholesome' xample... is that not 2Girls1Cup... or Meatspin? If so, then I am surprised that shock sites are still being mentioned in 2022.
 
If Trump wins 2024, AI is going to become a partisan issue with his VP pick, JD Vance advocating against regulation in suggestion by big companies and siding with Open Source




Yep, it's official AI is going to be a partisan issue.
