I WILL BEAT AI lol

[@timmygilbert4102]

You won't 😂 because there is nothing to beat.😂 I'm old enough to have seen multiple time this kind of freaks out happening. The irony is you saying that while being on KZbin, while using social media,while drawing on a computer, and you probably like Pixar too. All of these made freaks out like the ongoing with ai. Heck you can even go further to writing and books, less so for smartphone and internet, heck even the fridge and cooling unit where seen as the devil, car and train, the telephone, they all got that treatment.

cureent-ish versions of photoshop also have a blur gallery filter where you can put in differently shaped gaussian, focal and directional blurs.

[@tyreonbooker5304]

The problem isn't the AI itself. Most of us understand it is a tool that can greatly help artist. and outside of a few bad-faith "artists" and users who were training AI on freelace artists work so they didn't have to pay for commissions, that is what it is being used for. the issue isn't the individual but the corporations. It's the difference between a small group of people using ai to inhance their vision to a level they couldn't do on their own, and a multi-billion dollar corporation that is already underpaying it's workers using AI to justify cutting corners even further. Or a indie dev using AI to assist in coding a game vs "downsizing" the coding team because " the AI can do it". That is why People are so against AI in the workforce. If you give a company an Inch they WILL inevitably take a mile.

[@lavellyne]

currently the ai is a problem as a whole because of who uses it. it's being used to replace artists, writers, animators, voice actors and the list constantly expands. it's blatant theft and in the latter example creepy as hell. until it's regulated there's no reason to support and approve AI, especially during protests.

[@TanTapeketan]

they say future. I say retrogression. the prompter once said.. why should an artist feel he is special. my answer... of course. Why not. we are special because we try to be that way. we sacrifice at a price that is not cheap to be like that. and we are not lazy. I should have said before. .. why do you consider yourself special when you do nothing . it has implications for all the entertainment industry creators. vtuber, concept art, artist/illustrator, etc. I even suspect that there is currently a fake WIP. then the only way is not to boycott them. because it was a radical step and hated by everyone . but to create our own version of the separate and healty community. human generated art . individuals who work hard for values, lifestyle, and essence. not based only on profit , profit , and profit .

[@gondoravalon7540]

@@lavellyne > *t's being used to replace artists, writers, animators, voice actors and the list constantly expands* Sounds like a problem with the companies doing this - and not AI itself. IMO looking at this, and seeing AI as the problem is squandering a wonderful opportunity to blow open how exploitative corporate culture is (not JUST in the arts - art, music, movies, theatre, etc), but in general.

This is what I'm doing with my own art (filtering it through Ai and studying the changes it made, and WHY it chose them) and I've discovered avenues I never would have taken on my own. I know many hate Ai art, but see it as a way to show I have much more work to practice on.

@@TEETHHHHH I use Ai Mirror for Android and IOS. They have several free filters that have an adjustable 0-100% slide meter (more like the image and filter more like the filter and randomness). It's free version is 1 iteration + ads, while a $29.99 yearly sub gets you 4 iterations and some extra filters and such. I spent about a month putting ALL of my work through the filters during It's 3-day free trial. I did so because years of work I hated for not having the *vision I intended. Seeing the Ai take the image and give it ideas I had been thinking of but couldn't put on paper was quite the inspiration to keep drawing.

[@NobleHusky]

@@mohammedbologi5388 to add to what I just posted in the replies: You can combine multiple filters by going through a simple workflow: 75-15-5%. Meaning your 1st filter adjusts the image 75% with the 1st filter, 15% second filter, and 5% third and final filter(s). They now have custom filters to type in prompts.

[@MusicLoveDD]

I've always thought that you could used A.I as a tool but that went out the window when I found out that it was stealing from other artists, as long as it's not stealing from other people I think It could be used as a learning tool.

[@Xeshema]

Yeah, once the programs stop stealing art without consent it would be a great tool!

[@soleil7259]

Well AI is nothing but a computer that follows orders. AI is not a super machine. It basically build to steal, since it has to be filled with content. Nobody is as creative as the artist himself. AI is just a mess and can never be original, since it doesn't have a mind on it's own like people want to make it seem and the fact that people rely on it, says a lot about the downfall of our society.

[@EhurtAfy]

It's never been stealing, it's no different from a human browsing Google Images and learning how to draw from reference. Artificial neural networks are literally based off the neuronal structure of animal brains. However, AI can only look at art and imitate the style, it has no context to understand the meaning or purpose of art. It's a tool only, not an artist. This is why the average Joe can't make great use of AI. Great, consistent quality with AI requires an artist, someone with an understanding of perspective, shape/form, composition, color, anatomy, etc. and the ability to edit illustrations i.e. in-paint

[@TD1237]

@@EhurtAfy Glad someone's pointing this out. As you said, it's literally browsing images and learning how to draw something. It's not just taking things and mashing them up. If AI art was as simple as people made it out to be, it would have been done decades ago. Machine learning is way more complex than what people would like to believe. And, yes, it's not easy to make AI Art the way you want. It's one thing to make something "good", but it's a completely different story to make something similar to the image you envision.

About the noise effect, you can apply it it to a neutral grey layer that you set to dodge or soft light mode. That way you can fine tune the grain intensity with the layer opacity in a non-destructive way. But the real benefit is that you can add a slight gaussian blur to the noise layer to have a more naturalistic film grain rather than a harsh one.

You're not stealing ai art because the copyright office stated that images created by generative ai is PUBLIC DOMAIN. No one owns these ai images. And several works have had their copyright revoked when the nature of the ai generation came to light. However , for you to own an image (ip property, copyright protection) with generative ai in it, you'd Have to draw most of it your self. (Kinda defeating the purpose of using ai in it. So just loosely reference it and draw drom scracth. Saves time too. Takes longer to edit work.) You are free to take as much of ai art as you want, legal wise. Nft bros are having a field day with it, and its impossible to say ai creates unique images since every result is DUPLICATABLE with the programs: midjourney , craion , etc. Image to image (which is what a fair number of these look like.) Is more blantant/obvious in what images its taking , is iffy with me because you can pretty much see what artists were taken from and which work its from too, so you'd be more or less taking from them as well as the ai shiller. Also ai doesn't learn. This isn't even ai, but a generative algorithm that pulls from a large pool of scrapped data. These things would not be nearly as good without taking from an and all artist- many of which are better. Its not humam, it doesn't consider composition, it doesnt get inspired, it doenst think , it doesn't give you exactly what you want or how you visualize it, it is ironically limited. Calling it "ai" or "artificial intelligence" is just a marketing ploy when really its a glorified math solver while the ai prompter is a commissioner. I never understood why some say to *enhance* your art with ai either, its just scrubbing your artistic uniqueness for something generic and typical. Why would you need a second image slapped on top of yours? (Yes i know how ai works. ). Ive seen this advice from ai shills or non-artists. you don't need ai enhancements if you can already draw. All this is especially cathartic because of all the ai dudes that shit on artists (armature or professional ), while typing in their names and using their data to produce said ai images- yeah. Take a note from the nft bros and take it, its not like they *own* it: unlike artists who actually draw their work by hand. There are different ways to *adapt* after all. As for me? I prefer drawing my own work from scratch. Once again, I can already draw. I have pinterest and actual artists for inspiration , and i have full creative control over my stuff. This isn't the type of ai I need.

Absolutely stunning results. Although not art, I've been using A.I. to help me do a lot of things to help spur creativity. Some notable assisting I've gotten to date are character design concepts, theory crafting, world-building/story writing, and research guidance. It's truly a remarkable tool when used "appropriately". However, seeing what that, creator ig?, made with just A.I., I can see where a lot of the fear of an A.I. takeover is coming from. I can't determine for sure, but I'd assume that ALL those pictures didn't take them much time to get done through A.I. Compared to a human that would require food and water to sustain themselves, ample sleep to refresh the mind, and breaks in between to avoid burnout. Creating a collection like the one you presented for even a skilled artist can take months if they don't half ass ANY art. Then you gotta factor in, life happening, any outside work or commissioned jobs, and plain ol' just wanting time to themselves. So far, I've only heard of people worried about job security and opportunities being taken. But I'm hoping, A.I. becomes a powerful ally and not an unbeatable enemy. Only time will tell.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Where do you think the AI got the information from for the algorithm to make the image? You weren’t looking at the right people. Lesean Thomas was drawing the most AMAZING anime style black characters since he was hired to draw the boondocks, the world has EVER SEEN!! Chris Copeland draws some of the most amazing black characters along with chase Conley that you can see anywhere. How are you going to draw POCs and look away from actual black creators who make images that look like them? You are not putting the right amount of study in nor are you searching a wide range of creators to learn from. Afua Richardson makes some of the dopest black female superhero drawings that comics has ever seen. If you’re a black female, why is it taking me, a black man to make you look for creators who look JUST LIKE YOU? That makes Zero sense. You just weren’t trying hard enough. I found ALL OF THESE PEOPLE through trial and error so why can’t you?

No fr though. For literal YEARS I couldn't understand the creative block behind just about EVERY studio/artist/team/etc. and their handicap for drawing pocs. A.I. or not, seeing these in an anime style brought a big smile to my face. Like, for the first time, seeing someone that looks a bit like me, look badass in a style I also love. You would think after the Boondocks and Black Dynamite, there would've been a huge spur of pocs in animes, but no not really. It always kind of felt like creators were afraid to do it or something like that. A.I. can be a great tool for artists, so hopefully the impending A.I.pocalypse becomes a learning experience and assistance to the human imagination and not the death of the aspiring creative.

If you're creating from a reference. Combine your image with the reference and it does a paintover. It's the best way I've found to improve very quickly because right away it'll tell you what you've done wrong.

People act like "AI" is inevitable like it wasnt people who made it in the first place. AI doesnt exist without people, it has no power without people. It feeds on complacency and manufactured consent. AI isnt even the technology that most people think it is, the term AI is just corporate propaganda really. Divest from AI, people, like Whyt manga, were creating beautiful and compelling images and stories before "AI" we certainly dont need it now, just support the actual artist doing the work it really is that simple. And we certainly dont need to keep treating it like some all powerful, god like entity we are powerless against. We create stories of struggle and man overcoming all odds but turn around in abject surrender as soon as possible. We humans are certainly losing faith in ourselves.

You are absolutely right, part of this is marketing. If you are made to feel it is inevitable , you are essentially gaslit into believing it is. Thats how they get you. The irony is that all this gen ai is doing is reselling thing we already have an can do. It is limited by what people have already done. It needs continual data poured into it and can not function without people and their output. So no, we don't need it. Not those models ,not like this. Not being gaslit into thinking we need it when we worked fine without it. Besides... its not even ai, just a glorified math problem. 😂

[@billyliar1614]

Ai could have it's uses for the artist in terms of improving their speed but in my view needs to be heavily regulated and is currently accelerating the worst 'synthesization' that is already far too evident in commercial art. Do we really need a mass of overly perfect renders all done in exactly the same style derived from the work of other artists ? Is that not just mass-produced pap? It's not hard to see why Midjourney would want companies to pay them for a monthly subscription rather than said company, y'know, actually hiring a team of real illustrators. It is literally the new industrial revolution (remember the last one where the skilled independent craftsmen working for themselves were replaced by loom-operators working for mill owners ?) It is basically next-level corporate theft and as with all forms of mass-production threatens the delicate balance of sustainability, the relationship between consumer and producer, and undermines the independent creator's ability to compete in the marketplace even if the AI content is mediocre (while being superficially glitzy). I've come across AI comic ''creators'' (people who neither write nor draw but commission an algorithm to produce content for them) who are even objecting to the idea of having to credit Midjourney on the cover ! They want to claim full artistic credit for themselves ! There is something very wrong about this in my view, undermining as it does the concepts of authorship, copyright and plagiarism as we have hitherto understood them, putting corporate interests and profit before culture. Whaddya know .

[@TheIbdeathskull]

The only thing about AI is that the poses are not action orientated. I guess all the data creates a comic book character that is posing for a vogue fashion shoot or something. Animation and action poses are still needed to be done by people. Rotoscoping is kinda interesting but storytelling and animation still need to be considered advanced artist skills even with the best current AI.

[@EhurtAfy]

Outstanding, love the positivity. AI is a god-level tool for artists and not that great for random unskilled people. I've evolved tremendously as an artist since AI came out. I've drawn and painted for most of my life, but AI-prompting and in-painting forced me to dive further into photography, composition, and styles of art. Now I look at art and can describe it so well using terms like high/low angle subject, close/medium/far camera shot, depth of field, intricate, volumetric lighting, soft/hard lighting, soft/hard shading. I can create a prompt and get instant feedback; this instant feedback is a cornerstone of learning. I bought a very nice 24gb VRAM GPU just for AI in late-2022. I've been working with these tools for almost a year. Seeing how my drawings can be reinterpreted in seconds is nothing short of magical. The idea a random person can use AI to be a successful artist with no idea about art is nonsense. A keen eye for anatomy, perspective, form, lighting/shadow, color, composition are still required for good, consistent results with AI!
