THE WORST TYPES OF AI ‘ART’

[@wishtopublish]

Not gonna lie, I miss early AI art that was just SO weird and unmistakably computer-generated that it was surreal.

[@average-wubbox-enjoyer]

same, that was ok

[@airplanes_aren.t_real]

It felt like it's own form of art but there's also a vague nostalgia for when those concerns over what would happen were still far away

[@anderkid1090]

I honestly miss when AI art was extremely freaky and bordering on Lovecraftian Horror. It was so genuinely fascinating to see the beautiful horrors it could create

Same. That shit inspired me. Shame to see where it is now

[@secondary.dominants]

I got DeviantArt just before the AI epidemic. It was really cool seeing all the cool art and sharing my own. But now, I scroll my feed and almost ALL of it is AI and it's so depressing honestly. I shouldn't be getting excited to see real person art on a website that was originally just for real people to share their art.

[@Kamrynidk]

HONESTLY bro I just got it and was... disappointed. I heard it used to be awesome, but It's a shame I wasn't around to see it.

[@ahseymania]

i used a prompt that was "Hutu people" (the hutus are an ethnic group from Rwanda) and it gave me a bunch of greyish brown bald shining little kids with the most anime girl face ever holding a water bucket and i laughed for an hour straight.

[@adventureinc.9769]

I remember learning something like that in philosophy class. I was told that AI still can’t understand things in context like humans can. While a human would hear “salmon in water” and immediately know it’s a living fish, a machine might not and just give an image of salmon meat.

[@ScandinavianStarz]

​@@ahseymaniaI did the same but with Sámi people (Theyre some indigenous Scandinavians) and I got a girl with a blue dress and a giant bow and anime eyes. I draw a lot of Nordic things because Nordic stuff is my hyperfixation (and I have a Sámi character) and I died

Yeah, very excited to see an AI generated disney movie in a few years cause they're definitely going into that direction right now.....😒

It’s actually quite sad. Ai art has been ripping creativity out of artist’s hands. It’s a shame honestly, and Ai doesn’t deserve to call it “theirs” Edit: yeah I can see how it”s not ripping creativity out of artist’s hands, but I have seen some Ai art that’d copying artists’ creative ideas, and I just think it’s a shame

a couple other troupes I see in ai "art": melty jewelry that looks highly detailed upon a glance but is basically metal globs of spaghetti splattered around the image. Same goes for lacey details and it will never be symmetrical. Another troupe is flyaway hairs that are attached to nothing or make no sense which makes it look like the person is shedding. Lastly, I see a ton of bootleg Sailor Moon art, variants include: wrong colored hair, outfits that are half Sailor Moon's battle outfit half casual wear, including cats that are distinctly NOT Luna, Artemis, or Diana, and many others.

[@endlessemptyvoid]

Don't forget about this trope: absolutely unrealistic, whimsical, magical furniture. I once saw on Pinterest a picture of some kind of bed/chair thing that had a golden frame in the shape of a crescent moon. In said golden frame was a pattern made of stars. That floated. There was no glass or transparent material, nothing to hold the stars, it was so, so, SO obvious. Yet, people kept asking in the comments where they could buy said furniture. I simply posted a comment saying something like "It's scary that people don't see it's AI, it's so obvious it hurts", and I got a reply telling me it was easy to get fooled, because this chair thingy could exist!

[@hydrashade1851]

the most common version of AI art ive seen is hyperrealism, but with really unnatural lighting and ambience. like a strong blue light coming from behind the characters when the background shows a warm light, or snow appearing inside the house.

[@Sylkis89]

That's made by Bing AI that has a wildly overzealous censorship on 2 levels: the prompt itself before generating is filtered for inflammatory phrases and keywords and then another after generating, scanning for anything that could be erotic or racist or whatever, with a huge margin of false positives just to be on the safe side. The weird colours you mentioned is a common trick to confuse the 2nd stage censorship for the filter to not notice humans, asking for weird colours is a standard practice to minimise the risk of the dreaded doggening. The snow thing is just that the AI is not aware, so it does not UNDERSTAND the prompt or the image it creates, it's just statistical data it learnt and uses to generate visuals that statistically are associated with each other. So if it generates a mountain cottage in winter, it will likely lack some walls or won't know if the snow or the moon should be indoors or in the window, etc...

[@MoondustManwise]

I loved when ai art sucked ass, because the strange and nonsensical nature of it was fantastic for giving me inspiration and ideas and color pallets. Now it's too good, it doesn't just give me something to build off of, it tries to _do_ it for me- and badly. It's becoming less and less useful to me the better it gets.

[@xadalau9758]

[@froggycolouring]

Same I was scrolling Pinterest because I thought splatoon fanart couldn’t be ai since I never see ai splatoon fanart until then and I was like oh cool and I saw in the comments it was apparently ai I wouldn’t have know it was ai until I looked at the comments, which is scary……..

[@HiBuddyyyyyy]

I’ve also seen some artist be accused to using ai. When the picture was created before ai started to be used for that. Which kind of makes sense since AI is stealing from artists so of coarse it’s going to look like some people’s art styles.

[@YayaFeiLong]

Also doesn't help that some more skilled AI users paint over the errors, making it harder to tell that it's AI. Which is even worse because it means the user has the skills to make good genuine art but just chooses not to

[@turingtestingmypatience]

i've already been tricked into buying AI pngs for a stream. there was no disclaimer, and the creator changed the description after i bought it to gaslight me. it was only obvious looking at the details to try and learn from what i thought was "good art" - the bows were a mess, the outer lines were all wrong.. there are now several sites you can run images through to detect stablediffusion, midjourney, etc. use them well, and Glaze your own art.

[@EagleTimberWolf]

On a somewhat similar note, the widely known eccentricities of AI "art" can also potentially be harmful to artists who are experimenting with more bizarre features in their work. For example, one of my most complex creature designs is directly based on Happy Meat Farms and having said that, I'm sure you can probably guess how fucked up his appearance is. Given how difficult he was to draw and how many times I had to tweak the design, I can't imagine how gut-punched I would feel if people assumed I used AI just because he's got extra fingers and limbs.

[@Varian_isnotclickbait]

The animal one I have experience with. On Christmas this year I received a bag my aunt gave me, it had a frog design on it. As an artist who has had experience with ai art I realized it was ai art, I felt horrible, my aunt probably didn’t know the design was ai art, since she had sewn the bag. I don’t know how to tell her it’s an ai generated art piece since I know she put a lot of effort into sewing the bag. It had all the stuff that Haley mentioned, sparkley raindrops, huge eyes, it looked very small and chibi.

Basically all but one of them were people (there were 7 frames with different images) except one, which was the least horrifying one. (It was like a heart with the words “love family love” written on it,) long story short all the other art were huge families, each one more disturbing than the last, I can get into specifics if you really want me to.

Also the regulations only protect if the AI was made in the EU, most of the AI programs were made in USA soil so idk who will protect EU illustrators since the harm it's already done (they already used all the scrapped data from all over the world) I just wish that our local government really looked up the ethics and the harm that they are causing to artists and designers.

I don't like it when ai generated images are called art. No matter how good the technology gets, it will never ever be art. Slight edit. The reason I say it will never be art is not because I'm insecure about my skill level. I know I likely won't be as good as the ai programs because they can churn out art in seconds. I don't consider them to be art because art is an inherently human and intelligent thing. It takes emotion, it takes time, and it takes work. Ai has none of those.

It was literally just taking my work and "fixing" it through a filter. It would erase the small, intentional "imperfections", like freckles, different nose shapes, textured hair, etc. I explained to him that I didn't like it and he's stopped, but it was still really annoying (I felt bad for telling him about it, because he really was just trying to help, but I just couldn't take it)

[@angelsartandgaming]

When discussing OCs with a friend and making OCs with AI art, we did an experiment one time where we tried to make some of our OCs on AI generators before by using descriptors. It always got rid of things that's essential to the character design and/or makes it look extremely generic. For example, I have a Pokemon trainer OC who wears a lot of sky blue, white, and hints of gold on her middle, has curly bubbly white hair that is supposed to look like clouds to represent her airy "head in the clouds" personality, has a poofy white feathery dress, pearl necklace with an Altarianite on it (I made her when ORAS came out), and exaggerated eyelashes because she's a fashionista, is modeled after a stereotypical angel coupled with fake wings because she loves flying type Pokemon and tries to make herself look pure and precious, and the angelic appearance reflects again her blind optimism and sometimes self confident arrogant personality. Her design has a lot of purpose put into it that reflects not only her personality, but reflects what her favorite Pokemon type is AND what her ace Pokemon is as well (Altaria). Heck, her name is even Ariel, a pun on aerial and airy. So when we put a detailed description of what she looks like into a generator, it made her look like a generic princess/Fantasy Anime girl with too straight of white hair, too dark of blue that had none of the angelic design put into it, and no wings even though we said she has wings. Nothing screams that she's would be a Flying type trainer let alone that she's a Pokemon trainer in general or that she's at all a fashionista. And her face was just blank with nothing representing her blindly optimistic arrogant personality. No exaggerated eyelashes, no sassy smile, and definitely no pose that shows off what she's like. Heck it even gave her a sword! She doesn't even USE swords!! I said "This is why AI is so bad at making original character. Wings? NAH!!! We don't need no stinkin' WINGS despite the fact that Ariel is trying to have that angelic look and the wings emphasis that she's a FLYING TYPE TRAINER! This is why AI will never replace artists. Because when we make characters, we always have some intention put into the design. AI will never have that." And you hit it on the head with the first example. Ironically you had more intention and design with the AI Schoolgirl with Sword than actual AI would ever.
