It’s not worth talking about anymore. It’s here to stay and nobody on this board or in the real world can do anything about it. It’s not gonna prevent us from making art, but there’s no point in revisiting the topic 1000 times and parroting the same points

>never discussing A.I.
Oh man. You should've been here in 2023. Shit was inescapable.
I think all that was necessary to say has already been said. The machines might improve in quality but the moral question doesn't change.
Here's my summary: AI artwork is unjustly built on stolen art, it goes against the very essence of humanity and everyone who uses it is a coward.

Most of the art you see online is the exact same thing but made by humans, mixing pre existing styles and over used references and copyijg popular franchises to make one billion uninspired lazy ripoff characters floating in a void or smut
Those who approach art like this are either doomed because the market value of their skill only keeps going down as AI gets better and better and those who make actually creative art or just draw for fun don't care at all
The only people who got mad initially have already lost and give up

it's been discussed to death, there's nothing more to say, anons who loss their will to draw, left and moved on, those who linger around are some real mother fuckers, and i will gladly take a bullet for them.
i still think about the sci-fi magazine talking about how much low quality short stories they received and how they have to close submissions and figure out how to separate genuine writers from, i don't know how to describe them other then pajeets.

he tries to make fun of my art but i dont get offended by it so i just tell him his followers are botted and he attempts a last gotcha by calling me weird

No. Does posting my work disproving the fact? No it doesn't. Soon future generation will not care about real artists hard worked human garbage sloppy art. It will be always slow, high cost, low quality. Look at AI art it is fast as fuck, no cost at all, quality is God like. Today there is a lot of real artist supporters in feature there will be lesser and lesser artists and more and more ai artists. Artists will exist but they will always get mocked, trolled, insulted for holding back progress.

I find AI art amazing. Especially the webms I have found in both /gif/ and /wsg/. I have followed how special effects were done since I was a kid, reading Cinfex and some hobbyist make your own magazines for my stop motion movies I made in super 8 mm film. I can imagine how many human hands it would take to build these sets arrange these costumes composite these shots, photographing models or building them in CGI. Armies of people hours of labor all needless with the right sequence of prompts. Ordinary people can t r y their hand at composing elaborate ideas. Movies too ridiculous, too niche, too expensive to produce, too personal to appeal to the buying public.
We make our own art. Or should. Anime and such can be easily copied,as they h a very been copied since the '70s, so these artists and the Strange Porn crowd need worry. And not even then. A superior story, art and composition is the product of industry and ingenuity of the artist, and will show up AI in its unique presentation.
I haunt the AI threads in/b/ and sifting through the Strange Porn,you see fascinating things, still pictures that I could calculate the process of recreating it in acrylics. Prompting is a craft, and that involves Art. An AI won't do anything on its own, because it needs direction, scope, a story to portray. Like some medieval craftsman, a scene is intricately described, and painstakingly staged. Art.

Except that as companies have shown us time and time and time again, it's hardly ever about the actual benefits, and more about it being used as a mechanism to foster dependence and create perpetual cash cows. AI is just being used to create a slave race. How people don't see that is beyond me. I have a theory that's it's exactly why jeets are so drawn to it, they're already accustomed to slaves because of their caste system so they're too blind to see the inevitable rug pull that WILL happen where prices start getting pumped after dependence has been created. It will be everyone's outrage moment when they should have been outraged decades earlier. The generations of the future will look back at everyone alive right now with so much resentment and spite because we did nothing to stop it.

your theory sucks and is blind to the actual cultural realities of the third world. it's the same reason that most of the third world, not just india, loves retardoslop like hyperrealistic robert downer junior photocopies, jujutsu kaizen panel copies, and lots of tracing, you can almost always guess the artist is a thirdie by how sellout or empty of meaning their art is when they post it and that's got nothing to do with the Genetics of Thirdies it's just the product of a strained (monetary and attention) economy
art is heavily devalued and is not viewed as an expression of real skill or creativity, but as a bragging right, not unlike a trophy wife. the point is pretending you managed to get a pretty-looking (even if vacuous) image out and posture in front of your aunties how you're Muchly Skilledful rather than actually being able to do anything with yourself. this is fixed by raising people out of poverty and funding arts and culture so that a cultural consciousness develops, otherwise it's just the circenses of the panem et circenses. western cultures are heading in that direction with the crossgenerational deterioration of cultural appreciation and the commodification of art, india is just a portent

Anything you do with AI is like keeping a dream journal. You may find it enjoyable and intriguing, but most people won't be interested to read that crap. Keep it to yourself.

All work is build on stollen work. It makes you a hypocrite claiming humans dont learn in the same manner. You just dont like the idea (even if its not true yet) of a machine being able to do what you can do, but faster, better, and or cheaper. Because it means you are not special / you have to find another bread making method, which requires addition effort.
So you seek physiological, religious, soul arguments to hate and suppress those which support it.
Basically a word by word repetition of the same story with guild masters when factories became a thing, and artists when cameras were invented.

99.999% of people who cook that, have learned the recipe from somebody else, and not reinvented the wheel.
If somebody would make an oven in which you only put in the raw ingredients, prompt a recipe, and in 20 seconds it makes a 95% finished cake, with a 50% success rate, everybody would buy and use it, even half the cooks, while the other half and cook aspirants would cry murder, and that its soulless because it was not made by a human.

to add to that, art actually is more important than before, even though layoffs are off the charts. I joined a guy for a couple works and he immediately asked me if he could turn my doodles into 3d models with AI. 2 days later he had the little monster-cyborg i drew in the game and showed it off on Xitter. No one could guess the 3d model was AI and the animations for it were AI because i had drawn a pretty weird thing.
So if you use AI art people will call you out, but if you use a human artist and AI everything else, silence, since you get credit and it might look somewhat original. My take is games will boil down to artwork, design and music, while the rest of the pipeline will be taken over or done much faster.
Weird because i see a lot of artfags learning blender. Like uhhh, i'm not sure it's gonna be that relevant going forward. I could be wrong though

Art was never meant to be meticulously molded into perfection so it could be palatable to the consumer. 5 years ago I remember the question of "soul" vs commercialization of an art style, before AI was even a thing. Well there you have your answer 5 years later what was missing from the polished turds, the same way we figured out that entirety of all substances of the universe depends the the number of electrons revolving around a proton through technological advancement. So turns out there is a formula that exists for what humans find appealing. I do make an observation that AI generated music isn't as popular as AI generated art. Something about rhythm and balance and the art of unpredictability trips up the algorithm. Did you know that AI researchers have the most trouble getting an AI to carry around eggs with robot arms without breaking them? Something about rhythm and balance comes naturally to humans, though. It's futile to compete against a machine to generate perfect aesthetics. The future cannot be rolled back, to think otherwise is a psychotic fantasy of your control. It's time to draw like singers do. God would be disappointed if THAT'S the thing he throws at us, and now we give up on making another renaissance.

AI gives me hope that history will realize the dependence of an entire generation to live their lives out through a screen during 2000s-2020s as a bad dream. When unreality reaches a toxic threshold and there's only so much artificiality that man can tolerate before it overpowers his addiction to overstimulus from a flat board made of pixels. It'll all only be a bad dream, and we'll go back to going outside and marching in protests and doing acid and drugs and meeting others to wear stupid clothing and other retarded faggy stuff but outside and with other people where we can smell each other and look at each other and judge each others intentions like we did for the past 200000 years.
Or we could just die, it's the end of humanity and we all deserve to go to hell for being boring. It would be comedically anticlimatic if it wasn't an overzealous AI turning us into paperclips but a good old fashioned nuke war. That would be so fucking hilarious.

this, AI is its own thing and you can even call it its own art form. Like if you painted frogs and had them jump around a canvas, that's art too, but you're not really controlling the frogs. Its just a new way to generate interesting things.

>All work is build on stollen work. It makes you a hypocrite claiming humans dont learn in the same manner.
Because humans don't.
Claiming humans learn in the same way AI is trained is like claiming that driving and walking are essentially the same thing; Sure both take you from point A to point B, but anyone with half a brain can tell you walking and driving are different, and likewise, anyone can tell you that human learning and AI training are different as well.
All the other crap about psychology, religion, and being special were just verbose attempts at covering up how low IQ and simple your argument is.
And this isn't even getting into the stupidity of treating a program like it's human and therefore giving it the same considerations as a human.
Even if humans and AI 'learn' in the exact same manner (they don't), AI training and output is still theft because they're not human (it's a product produced by a thieving corporation) and I don't have to be considerate of it in that way.
Why defend immoral multi-billion dollar companies?

in some time after ai will become better than 90% of average teachers, having real teachers will be viewed as problematic. After that, or before, interacting with fellow kids of the same age will be the same (because of "bad influences" and what not), next will be the parents themself. Parents will need a licences to teach their own kids even basic stuff, ("ai does it better anyway, why would you stunt their growth like that?"). All your physiological needs will be met by a machine. Teachers, friends to chat with, ppl to take advices from, 4chan, youtube? Entertainment, education, socializing, all ai generated to control the kind of person you will grow into. The perfect drone to supervisize real drones. If you think things will ever get better, you are wrong. Each generation s treshold will be lowered, by controlling whats viewed as "normal". Generation wars will be pushed from behind the scenes, to better control each younger generation. And free thinkers who try to connect to real people will gain the label of domestic terrorist, or whatever new speech version of it will be contemporary.

>Why does this board is never discussing A.I. art?
We did, and its discussion literally destroyed the board. /ic/ had peaked in the 2013-2019 years. 2021 hits and AI slowly started advancing and that's all she wrote. Jeet faggots kept spamming and doomposting the board and people who were actually fucking good at drawing left.
If you want my take I still believe the doomposting is retarded. People cried about photography completely replacing artists back in the late 1800s, which obviously never happened, the medium just shifted. Even now the only people getting replaced are extremely niche poorly drawn fetish artists, photo bashers or people working in a dying industry like Blizzard or Riot.
People who are actually good at drawing still thrive off it. We're on year 4 of doom faggotry yet there will always be someone willing to hire a human artist if they're good enough. The idea that physical art is dead because of AI is just another part of history repeating itself, if anything people who have the merit to stick to the medium will come out ahead, because so many gave up their passion in the last half decade and will be behind when they see it literally didn't fucking matter.

>>7926377
Photographers created images in a different medium in the different style (100% realism).

"Holding back progress" meanwhile completely neglecting the obvious fact that without all this human input these generators would be shit. What is progress anyway? You (who cannot discern quality from crap anyway) being able to shit out mangled, uninspired derivatives to outcompete and plagiarize/ scam people into believing you're an artist?
Or maybe progress is megacorporations creating a monopoly while simultaneously turning artists into lubricant for the cogs in a machinery that is running on speculative profit margins and personal greed?
You bugman, technerds are beyond braindead. You've been regurgitating the same flawed talkingpoints for years on end.

I will admit my total ignorance of how AI imagery is produced. So having your own personal AI assistant on your computer requires a paywall bondage? Training it on one's own art and using it as a tool to create with would be my goal, especially when I become too feeble to draw. Even if I need to subscribe to a service provider for it.
>>
>>7928704
open source models are increasingly becoming sparse, so while you can have your own local models and assistants, there will come a point where the private models pull further ahead. The jews are increasingly trending towards moving away from locally owned hardware. It wouldn't surprise me if 5 years from now advanced models require you to use cloud computing on top of a pricy subscription effectively pricing out the poors and limiting the kind of content you can generate while ensuring everything you do make is highly surveilled and tied to your identity.
As of right now though you can download the open source models available, use your local hardware and train on your own art. You'd go with a LoRA (standard), DoRA (newer better version of LoRA) or a LyCORIS (high fidelity style or character training). You'd still need to actually use a model that's been trained on stolen art to actually be able to make anything. You could use one of the public domain models that's been trained on all free data, but those suck because it's like trying to ask someone who only cooks pasta to make you some jerk chicken. Your LoRAs are basically like recipes you give to the chef to make a more specific dish but the chef still needs the knowledge specific to the recipe you're giving them.

>All work is build on stollen work
ESL aside, this is patently false. There is a reason the term "fundies" is often thrown around here. You need to understand certain base line concepts to achieve proficiency in art (composition, anatomy, color theory, etc). Artists copying other art usually a) are plagiarist/tracer hacks, who have since moved on to AI, or b) doing studies to understand techniques involved and they always credit the original art.
>>
>>
>>
>>7928934
There is a fundamental difference in intent. A human artist learns so they can create. An AI company "takes" data so they can build a commercial tool that sells access to the collective labor of millions. Without the "taken" data, the product does not exist. This makes the data a raw material, and in almost every other industry, you have to pay for raw materials.

You overestimate how much is "taken" without permission by human creators. If you were an actual artist you'd understand this. If you master fundies then you then the data is strictly optional. Durer did pic related off a crude sketch and description having never seen what an actual rhino looks like. In school? You draw from life and pay for your course material. Photobashing (arguably the worst it gets)? In professional studios they pay for the photographs. Fanart (arguably the most creatively bankrupt)? If that was a problem pre-AI IP holders would have done something about it, or at least raised a huge fuss (they didnt, any exception you dig up from companies like Nintendo will just prove the rule). So fanart in general (and other forms of derivative art) became part of the social contract/protected by parody laws.
Meanwhile Disney is suing Midjourney into oblivion because it advertised the ability to create characters they own. There is a line that AI has definitely crossed which the kikes are desperately trying to obfuscate with stupid pilpul, trying to give it human rights/privileges despite its capability being completely outside human bounds.

Can an LLM learn what humanity is by absorbing the totality of human creation? No, it cannot. It cannot therefore replace human art.
AI generated imagery does pose a threat to artists in commercial industries where original output isn't necessary. What the long term consequences will be of this, of these industries becoming dependent on LLMs which will continue to iterate upon itself over generations, nobody can say.
The expansion of AI generated imagery has already and will continue to bolster a market for human art. It is now more possible than ever for the entrepreneurial artist to engage in the patron system and create a base loyal to them as an artist.
I assume nobody talks about this because this is all self evident, tired, and irrelevant. This is an art board, after all.

Wait, so using AI is supposed to prove it’s bad? That’s a weird flex. If it’s actually useful enough that you’re leaning on it to make your point, you’re kind of undercutting yourself. Either it’s trash and you shouldn’t need it, or it’s helpful — in which case acting like using it is some kind of own doesn’t land.
But sure, keep shaking your fist at the machine while quietly using it anyway — real cutting-edge Luddite energy.

ai is only 'threatening' soulless commodity art and the people mad about it are just worried about money and ego. The people making HR slides, toothpaste ads and FOTMs in a white-void are fucked; and being mad some indian can replace your job with chatGPT like they did for blue collars is fair. But were you REALLY putting your heart into that fintech 'whoopsie doodle' 404 page or bocchi the rock feet pic? Maybe i'm just a jaded salaryfag because i put personal passion into my corpo 'dream job' before losing it, but there needs to be a separation between Art(tm) as a commodity and art as an expression.
I'm guilty of playing with localgens to make some /d/eranged gooner comic for myself to see how far into niche internet fetish art i could take it- and while it did take a lot of manual shooping and mspaint to gamble on the seeds, i got something well above my technical drawing ability. BUT I didn't actively make it with any emotion. there's no personal expression, it's like getting linux to work. it's deterministic. the picture is not art. there was too much separation between my input and the final output. it's like saying youre a sculptor because a seed you planted became a flower. The garden arrangement is the only part that could be considered art, despite the final output being the pretty part
ai art is not art, but it is a cheaper substitute for Art(tm). If you liked drawing, you'd do it regardless of money or attention. If your art is worth paying for, people will pay for it. Maybe you just need to be honest on valuing your art through the 'Art(tm)' lense. What does it offer versus your competition? People still go to farmers markets. there's still an economy out there for handmade bakeries despite factories existing. Are you trying to sell handmade doritos in front of a walmart?

This is a retarded cope. People *should* have the opportunity to make careers out of making art. Some of the best art/artists existed because they were able to do this, going all the way back to Renaissance where historically iconic things like the Sistine Chapel were commissioned. In a capitalistic system that is the only way anyone can master such a discipline. Would artists like Leyendecker/Frazetta/Rockwell have achieved as much and graced us with their work if they were forced to wage slave 9-5 to get by? If you appreciate art on any live why would you wish for it to be relegated to hobbyists who can only afford to devote a tiny fraction of their time to it.

I have been playing around with chatgpt lately and i've gotta say that to do research or explore concepts/ideas or hone your rhetoric, play out arguments etcetera, it is a pretty good tool.
You feed it images, you can get out "results" if you're just aiming for low kitsch tier stuff like making things realistic which just copies the image and puts filters on top and texture and all that shit, but you go more into actual creative work that only reads to people, it starts to put extra stuff.
Would i use it for my own shit? Fuck no.

It's a tool in some contexts but in many others it's not. Like if a car is a tool then using AI is like calling an uber (vs driving yourself). Once the fundamentals of what you are doing are stripped from you it stops being a tool and it becomes more of servant/employee/service.
