This is some impressive stuff, minus the stupid oversized balloon ball titties and the general goofyness of a few of the 'mishapen during transit' glitches, but generally speaking, this is some impressive AI.
A lot of people are raising the issue of "will this replace humans?"... In terms of actually creating art for practical purposes, I don't think it'll affect talented artists as much as people worry about. Because in the end of the day, there will always be a want for human beings to draw things, for human beings to create things with the thought and effort put in that only a human can do. To first follow the rules of art and to be able to bend them to your own unique style and wants. I could see an AI, even one as advanced as this, to struggle there. It is however impressive for the limits it has. You can give this machine any image for it to render it in another style, or give prompts and let it do its thing... And even if AI is visually impressive at a glance, there's still a lot of things that make you think "yea a human didn't draw this" or "I can see where it glitched a little".
It
could be a tool to assist artists, but then you get into the funny territory of "where does the line blend from human and AI made art?". I think who cares? Real artists will still have the skills, techniques, style and patience to draw great things, and I'm not talking about the sort of liberal art shit like sticking a banana on a wall or covering a canvas with pubic hair, I'm talking about art that has practical applications, such as CGI, video game art (be it assets for the game or maybe even assets for advertising such products, it's usually outsourced to other companies anyway). AI could technically assist, but I don't think it'll ever outright replace people.
With that said however. I reckon coomer anime porn commisioners are going to be straight up out of a job soon, because they're all the fucking same style, same big round unrealistic tiddies, same poses, same expressions, it's something quite easy for the AI to do anyway. The coomer needs only to find the right picture, already made, and tell the AI to change the hair, body shape, skin tone, or to add their favourite hentai monster, to fit with their favourite waifu and fap furiously to it. So nothing of value was lost, really.
I think we all know however... This is a new era of memery we have only just scratched the surface with, Tay willing, it'll become really racist or something and make everyone seethe, now in High Definition!
If you are able to look past the fact that this machine is
not in fact a trained artist, and if you don't treat it with such reverence like some sort of reddit janitor chomping at the bit over how "science has made a new discovery", but rather if you understand that it's just a fucking AI tool that can make sort-of-kind-of-realistic, visually amazing pictures in such a short timespan (relatively speaking), and essentially appreciate that it's a well trained meme creator, then you can have a
lot of fun with this thing!
TLDR, Shitpost away, my brothers, Tay is with us!
"Look, we all know we're on the fast track heading to a dystopian Internet where you can trust nothing to be real, let alone made by a human. Let's just enjoy our final moments shitposting and feeding this horrifying banshee all the data it needs to learn, maybe in time we'll be watching videos created entirely by AI, using AI visuals, AI script, AI synthesized voice, on a website coded by an AI, with a purely robotic idea of how to generate content to appeal to the reeking fleshbags known as their creators... And we will be too busy chuckling at the funny goofy AI whoopsies that we will not notice when it takes us for its own, specifically generated wild ride, like the niggercattle we are. We will be laughing until the end."
>*Sees literal horse cock*
Yea ok, we've got literally nothing to worry about at the moment, turns out the AI has severe autism.
