AI Art is... interesting...

I did another Pika-prompt, and it actually did very well!

Idk how I feel about AI because doesn’t it take bits of other peoples works because it literally can’t create something new/unique? It produces some cool stuff I guess but feels off to me using peoples art without their consent

Ik that’s not the point if this thread though so nice work 👍
 
I know this thread is a bit old, and I'm hesitant to bring it back, but I just wanted to say,

I've viewed a lot of AI art by now and all of it just seems like materialistic crap to me. I was talking with someone about it and I said that I can tell the difference between AI and hand-drawn art not because of the way they look, but because of the soul behind it. Hand-drawn art looks more realistic to me because I actually look past the image and feel like I'm staring into the artist's soul, and the hard work that they put into creating the image. As a non-artist, I'm surprised that AI art is becoming a widespread thing. It definitely feels like it has absolutely no soul to me.

Just my two cents.

Thank you. Couldn't have said it better myself.

A lot of the generated images are also the same generic anime-esque endowed girl with over-saturation by basement dwelling NFT bros. But that's really what it is. AI art cannot capture the emotion and reason behind someone's art. It can only hope to mimic it. I think it's also telling of how so many people are fooled by AI art that we give people too much credit at the same time.

Like there's something always off about it. It doesn't have to be the proportions, perspective, or anything skilled about it. It just lacks humanity to it. Like you said.

It's like some kind of being that doesn't have emotion and it's trying really hard to replicate humanity, and it shows. I really think this whole AI trend is coming in too hot and fast. I stopped watching a lot of Marvel, but I heard that even Marvel used AI art for one of their shows opening sequences. A multimillionaire company is using AI art to make an opening. The AI doesn't create it steals. So it was stealing from people who created the stuff they took, it's killed jobs from real true artists, and people even claimed it looked bad.

Marvel used AI art??! Wow
 
Bro damn. I forgot this thread.

I definitely remember being very *ahem* passionate in my earlier posts here, but after so many months I still hate AI imagery. I hope the current negotiations in the actors’ and writers’ strikes prove the point that companies will use AI if they can replace jobs with it.

I also agree with Midoriya obviously.

I don’t think it’s going to be exclusive to the arts. I will say after these last few months I’ve had enough time to reconcile and find more self-love and do art again. I doubt it will ever be my career though, and AI rose with incredible timing to demotivate me. It is depressing if I think much about it. It is depressing I feel as time goes on, honest hard work in art gets devalued. I think the move from dedicated art sites to social media also shows art becoming more of a product.

It’s just. I’m tired man. Maybe I would be tired no matter what my career. Regardless I think you can actually learn bits and pieces from AI imagery- I’m tired of it being called art, it should be called imagery, not art- I hold that it is a Pandora’s box that should never have been opened.

p.s. Yes there was a Marvel intro with AI imagery, I forget which game it was but there was also a shooter with AI imagery that people noticed and called out and they backpedalled on using that.

It sucks because I remember when people here and elsewhere were like chill this isn't going to change anything and it's just a fad. No one is going to use it for professional reasons. And now here we are. Like how is this not grounds of plagiarism and theft? People act stupid and pretend no one can be held accountable and it makes everyone involved look like an irresponsible child not wanting to take accountability.
 
To be fair, I think with that game an artist used it for assistance, but once you looked at the art it was pretty obvious. It was for one of the key promo images, it didn’t look like it was very touched up at all.

I also still hold that even if I were doing art as a career I’d find it miserable to just be touching up AI imagery. I don’t understand how all the arguments about “well we still need artists for touchup” kind of just brushed past how it would change art as a job anyway. But then again, since art education is so low quality, most people assume art is an innate talent and not a trained skill :/

Art as a touch up to AI pretty much equates to fix this and redo it completely if it's impossible. But I'll still pay the agreed upon amount. That's literally what happened to translators. Google's translator among others is not perfect. And sometimes so far off. And people want to pay real translators less because of that to the point that they have to usually go to the original source to translate it correctly.
 
I think people who use AI art just straight up claim it as their own, and I think thats disgusting. At least have some moral in saying how it was actually spat out by AI. who like Blue said, is stealing other people's art/photos.

But then like Midoriya pointed out, there really isn't much soul put into AI, esspecially the art.
 
I've been enjoying AI music, but quality may vary. For example, the version of "Blinding Lights" using AI Ariana Grande is pretty good:


But the version of "Somebody I Used To Know" with Selena Gomez as Gotye and Ariana Grande as Kimbra has problems, notably right at the end of the Kimbra verse, where the AI absolutely fails to capture Ariana hitting the high note. Skip in the video to about 2:55.

 
I gave the AI "green easter egg" and got this

Its definitely interesting...
