How are people feeling about Art AI?
-
I came today to see if the new, big elephant in the room was already being mentioned in these SVS forums. I wasn't disappointed.
Now, while I do have my whole pack of mixed feelings about this whole thing, whatever I could add to the discussion Reimena Yee (a Malaysian - Australian illustrator) already wrote about, and in a much better way, that I possibly could. So I'll just leave the link here.

@willicreate wow, that’s the worst. This would be like an art director getting an award for a piece made by a concept artist working under them.
-
Much like an Andy acting as the sole credited artist, leaving the workshop apprentices intentionally undocumented. Maybe Art AI will be the latest ingenuity to the factory system.
-
@lpetiti Perhaps the reverence Art AI is receiving over digital painting stems from public perception of Art being a consequence of innate talent and privilege. There are many who ridicule digital painting as a tool for lesser artists. Art AI, however, democratizes a once mystical community, bestowing everyone an ability to produce Art with a capital A. It is the perfect device for the concept over craft debate.
And I agree that Art AI should be judged in its own category.

@Nathalie-Kranich The judges could have thought this was their Duchamp’s
moment. Can’t be the one to vote against progress. JK. I know don’t know the quality of work from the competition. It may have deserved best in show.
I take relief in believing we can command Art AI to produce an image of a person crying, but the algorithms can’t determine the difference between tears of sorrow from that of joy.
Holograms haven’t replaced vocal artists, automated cooking machines haven’t replaced chefs, and robot vacuum cleaners haven’t replaced house cleaners. I'm a little worried about de-aged and digitally ressurected actors...

We just did a 3PP podcast all about Ai based images. Should be a fun one to listen to hopefully! : )

Just thought this was a funny meme and remembered this thread, hopefully you all get a kick out of it like I did.

@AngelinaKizz I tried out Dall-E for the first time last week and got a girl with three arms. I think it will get better, though!
-
@lpetiti I'm with you on this...
Inspiration is from withIN, and cannot be replicated from an algorithm, and it's refreshing to know there will always be variety in the art world, despite a strange attempt to mimic it.
I say let the fad play itself out, and artists, we'll just continue to be inspired

@LauraA
That's hilarious!!!

@AngelinaKizz
Yeeeesh

News on the AI front:
Stable Diffusion, DeviantArt, and Midjourney are getting sued.
-
@Coreyartus I knew this would happen immediately
it's going to be a very interesting case though.

@Coreyartus Yeah, this makes me very happy. Im glad the big companies might not be able to just get away with what ever they feel like. Justice for the artists! Great news!
