Your takes on AI art

[rematche]

i use them for my personal stuff. i use a.i. art and put my own art in it. they can be both good and bad like any art.

 

[TheBritishAreComing]

Ugly but unfortunately very useful, will see more in the future no doubt.

What do you think about it?

I'll start:

In my honest opinion, I think its kind of like a "plague", can't look anywhere without seeing it...
Recently, shops in my area started using it. Why can't they get a picture off the internet, or, hire an artist? Its totally BS in my opinion.

I think it's going to be horrible for artists in the near future. I almost went into school for art & design and right now I'm VERY thankful I didn't. There will still be some businesses that appreciate human-made art and will hire artists but with the more recent developments in AI tech being able to make ads that are nearly indistinguishable from human-made advertising I'd imagine many will take the cheaper route and just use AI.

As a (very mediocre) artist, it's just sad seeing the direction this is going. I can understand why people support it and enjoy being given the ability to turn their ideas into ai generated images, but I think it will overall be detrimental to the cultural progression of art. Now that businesses are using it we will see a lot of artists out of work and unable to pursue their passions. This may be a reach, but there will be no real incentive for young artists to continue into the professional world of art, because there will be very few jobs in it.

Ew. I hate AI art. It's a plague.

I live in a country where the president rather use AI slop for commercial instead of hiring a tv crew like a cheap ass motherfuck

 SO FUCK AI IMAGE SLOP

 

[MrBird]

I don't like it. That's about as mild as I can put it.

 

[bloodywing]

I found my own art in the LAION dataset and obviously don't like it.

Why I am not using AI?
Simple, I like the process of making art. The whole creative process goes away when I would use generative image tools.

 

[hitsugi]

I avoid it like everyone else. I think the appeal of Stable Diffusion has worn off for the most part.

 

[Cuestionador]

It's a new pandemic, but i gave up trying to argue or debate about it, it bores me. I prefer to use that energy listening music or drawing, or reading a comic/book/article.

 

[GardeniaSky]

I think I've already responded to this but I did teach myself how to use it, if anyone has any questions about how it works. I feel like a lot of people jump on the bandwagon of viscerally demonizing gen ai without understanding how it works.

I dislike it in the hands of the wrong people. An artist can easily develop their own models for ethical use. Big companies are improperly using a tool to try and replace people, when they should be hiring people with knowledge in the use of the tool as part of their skillset and portfolio.

 

[Johnathan Smikey]

It depends. AI is undoubtedly useful for personal stuff. Also, and I might get heat for this, but I think in extremely small doses (SFX), I don't mind. It's when AI starts to be used to cut corners on the actual animation when I start to look at it negatively. When it comes to AI voices or music, I don't mind unless it's in commercial products sold for money.

Essentially, I don't like AI unless it is mixed tastefully with real art.

Yeah the debates around AI end up being cyclical, it's exhausting

 

[RetroPixelLizard]

Five short points.

1. I don't mind It.
2. I used AI generated art to give me pose Ideas to practice drawing (The less perfect (To an extent) the better to Improvise/adjust) for drawing.
3. I also consdiered using AI generations to help study certain styles for poses/themes the artists would have never drawn.
4. I am fine If a game uses It for filler objects, like In Ready or Not with the paintings In the background.
5. But I do mind when people post AI art pretending It's theirs, or to sell purely for profit, or screw actual artists out of a contest. People who do that deserve more than a kick In the shins.

 

[edgeworX]

The white woman shopping for Wonder Bread guy has turned to AI and stopped commissioning people. This is 100% a huge cultural loss. The shared experience of the onlooker, the Wonder Bread guy, and the poor artist he's commissioned? Gone. In an instant. Disgusting.

 

[ThePeon]

First of I think we should quit calling it AI the shit so basic that calling it AI would be insulting. Shall we start call Dolphins humans just because they can do some basic shit.

And my take on it is the same as with Microsoft heavy use of AI it´s trash no one asked and no one want yet we are forced fed it to the point I rather stick with win 10 and 0 security until no single game suports win 10 anymore or hope we get a Win 12 with out AI bullshit.

But we all know 12 will be even more fake AI shit.

I agree. I like your view on AI art, it’s not very common on places on the internet like this. It’s sad to see so many people demonizing it without even wanting to understand it first. Everyone has different views, I know and I respect that, but I feel like a lot of times AI art gets way too much flak.

 

[Antilocal123]

Mmmm *rubs big belly* I ate the AI *belches*

Inflation

plague

Best word for explain it....

 

[NobodyHere]

I really hate those who claim it ‘makes art more accessible’, act like art is some gatekept thing because they’re too lazy to actually learn to draw. Especially grinds my gears because art is one of the most accessible things in the world, fuck you don’t even need arms to draw! Those who use it rob themselves from an extremely important experience, drawing is literally good for one’s brain and body (helps memory, communication, motor skills, problem solving, so on)! Prioritizing AI garbage feels like such an insult when so many have put their soul into their creations

I’ve seen people try to use photography to justify Ai - makes me want to slam my head through a window
