What Do You Think Of Ai Art?
🕑 Added 2023-11-06 21:06:40 +0000 UTCThese three pieces took me 15 seconds to make using Bing's Ai image generator. With a simple sentence or two, I got these three high quality creations. As with all Ai in it's current state, there are always odd inconsistencies since it is a machine just using 1's and 0's to try and give us a outcome it thinks we will enjoy. If I tried to draw something like this it would take hours if not days. (She's at the Rainy Coast!!! lol)
So you all know Ai art is a major concern for artists out there everywhere. Commission money will quickly dry up as people turn to Ai art to draw their fantasies. Even funnier some people still pay others to make Ai commissions (go figure).
What do I think about Ai creations? They can look really great for sure, but there is a lot of learning to get top quality content. I think it will harm many, but from an artists standpoint, I think it can certainly help with inspiration, posing, and ideas. It can be beneficial. Do I think it will fully replace hand real artists? No. There is still an emotional draw to real art. But it will definitely again hurt the little guys trying to make a name for themselves. There will also be Ai prompters will benefit from all this too. The world continues to change and we need to adapt or fall behind.
So what do you think of Ai art? Also which drawing do you like best? 1, 2, or 3? :D

I wish I could enjoy it, but in my heart I can't... AI art means a harder life for the very artists that made the art that now fuels it. AI art mean the gradual death of the fan art comunities I love. AI art means less respect for the hardwork of real artists. AI art means gradual decline of people becoming artists themselfs (why would you learn to cook when you can get a dish made for you fast and almost free...) And I could go on and on...

I like 3 the best. I've done some experimenting with AI, but it does get frustrating to use once you want something more complicated or specific. AI is a good tool, but if artists, websites, and people don't have the right approach to it, I can see it causing a lot of problems. I'd like to see any site that allows AI content using a tagging system to show when work is AI generated, AI assisted, or done entirely by the artist. I feel like AI art will most hurt a lot of the mid level artists who don't have a particularly large following or distinctive niche or style. A lot of the top artists I'd love to commission are either incredibly expensive or only take a handful of commissions or never open for commissions, so a properly trained AI model could help those artists offer their style to more people at a cheaper price while making more overall. I wouldn't mind as long as I know it's the artist that's getting most of the benefit instead of a company or shady person stealing the artists' style with AI. And as a not very good artist and frequent commissioner, I feel AI is a good tool for generating some more generic but high quality references for characters or scenes that I might want to be part of a commission. Or when doing art, it can help me better visualize what I want to draw. I enjoy having AI as an option, but there's still a lot of work to be done to make it fair to everyone and accessible.

BTW, in your pics, all the rain looks like snow to me making me thing of Seattle (or something like that) and I can only wonder WTF Twi is doing in a bikini freezing her tail off like that.

First of all, I like all of them. As for AI, it's a tool. However, it's a dangerous tool that was unleashed on the world before the world was ready, and now it's not going to be constrained and artists will suffer for it. And it doesn't matter if there are 'ethically trained' models, there will always be unethically trained models and they will proliferate everywhere. I expect that this will make it easier for almost anyone to churn out everything from "meh" to "that's amazing" in much less time than human artists and that means money will be saved; especially by companies who no longer want to pay artists what they have in past. Unfortunately, the genie is out of the bottle now, so it's time for folks to learn new skills so they don't starve. Just like horse and buggy drivers of the past, once the automobile showed up it was just a matter of time before their jobs were practically non-existent. I see the same thing happening in the next 5 years or so for commercial artists. There will always be those who do art for themselves, but I don't think they're going to make as much as they have in the future. But there will be new skills and new markets for the new world order (however it ends up looking) and there will be folks who make a living at it. And at the same time the whole ethics thing will be along for the ride and who knows how that will turn out.

Probably the first one. And, honestly, I believe that, no matter how good AI art gets, people will only get a more trained eye for the little "something" that makes distinguishes AI art from the real human-made thing.

I can't blame artists for being against AI art; it's going to be a major change to their field, the market for human-drawn art is surely going to shrink, and many won't be able to adapt. It's natural to feel threatened by technology when technology is threatening you. But that's what technology frequently does; it turns manual tasks into automated tasks or high-skilled jobs into low-skilled jobs, and those who know how to do these manual high-skilled jobs need to adapt to there being little demand for their skills. Wanting it to be otherwise doesn't make the technology go away, and people don't have an intrinsic right to be paid for the skills they're best at rather than the skills that the market wants. I can, however, blame artists when they repeat false claims about AIs just stitching together pieces of their training data into stolen collages; it shows they value taking easy shots over making any attempt to aim those shots at their actual enemies, and that they can't be bothered to take five seconds to even consider how that would obviously be one of the most unnecessarily difficult ways conceivable to make art.
