I've seen some videos completely AI generated that looked flawless yesterday. Every day I feel more and more uncertain I'll ever find a job again in the industry.

It's funny how in most old scifi they showed a future where we as a society had AI working labor intensive jobs but art was a human-only activity. I guess we didn't account for how bad capitalism was going to overpower our value.

I think artists like Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock have done a lot to preserve the humanity of art. For Andy, he would never need an AI to generate a soup can. Even if he did it's Andys commentary and perspective that is coveted. The same is true of the most intricate paintings or sculptures and their creators. Jackson showed us the act of making art is just as interesting as the art itself. An AI could pop out a million abstract pieces that looked exactly like a Pollock but... it will never be a Pollock. AI is no more a threat to art and the people who make art than the camera was.

You mean the generated anime scene stuff? Those DO use sketch frames made by a real artist who then uses AI to combine t he em into animation!

AI may be a crapshoot but it loves being given physical guidance. Don't tell it to draw a person, sketch a person and then tell the AI to turn that into a person.

Basic photoshop skills do work wonders. The better you are at art, the happier the AI will be to co-operate.

As an artist I've been loving bing to help me model and design characters based on my descriptions. I'm good at knowing what I want and good at drawing and sculpting but the middle step is what I have trouble with.

I've managed to create several new characters I've always wanted to and even put them in different poses and lighting and angles. It's freaking awesome!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's actually just the tip. It's all tip.

Fucking huge tip tho.

Worst case of mushroom cock ever documented.

He leans on it, don't you see? That's his lean-knee-wee-nee.

I see he is very excited for that pizza

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Tbf, I'd also be pretty excited if I could take a slice from a pizza and still somehow have a full pizza. Infinite pizza hack.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I hate to break it to you, but nothings going in to that mouth. More like going out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

HE is the infinite source of pizza

This image is actually really compelling.

Weirdly enough this is a terrible example. I kinda like it (but for all the wrong reasons)

We will become crabs eventually. We will also keep pizza. I see this as a prophecy.

The fact that one AI generated image looks incoherent or shitty doesn't mean that all AI generated images are.

I could make the same meme but swap AI and real artist and as an example of the "real artist art" use my drawings (and I'm like really bad at drawing). It would make as much sense as this meme. But I can't really tell if it's some AI art hater meme or just a meme. I sometimes see people meaning memes similar to this deadly serious, so sorry if I'm being a nitpick.

With the help if AI I will create the videogames I want without having to be Bethesda or some othe corporate grant. That's what's amazing.

I think it's important to remember that any grotesque thing AI makes us is still drawing exclusively from human made examples. There's no aspect of what AI image generators generate that isn't derived from humans.

These images are monuments to humanity's vanity.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Calm down.

Is every painting, drawing, story, etc. ever created by anyone 'a monument to humanity's vanity'?
