Thoughts on artificial intelligence in art creation

Those who rely on A.I. won’t be enjoying their “art” half as much as I enjoy mine. :grin:

I compare these AI images with the printout of a text designed in a word processor.
In this way, people who are unable to write properly, or those who just string together spelling mistakes, or the ones that have illegible handwriting, and finally those who can’t manage to format handwritten text properly so that it’s a pleasure to read (or the ones that can’t do it all together), can create gorgeous looking error-cleaned and legibly formatted texts, something they themselves would never be able to do.
They can thus create texts that are read by others, unlike their handwritten texts, which no one reads through because of the way they look.
This will be no different for these alleged “AI artists” most of the time. Especially with those who present their AI blurbs as “painted by themselves”, wordless claiming “Look what a great stunner I am!”, the most of them won’t be able to create such works, at best, they have the ability to separate the well-done AI results from the unsightly and ugly ones.

For myself, I know I’d rather look at hand-painted images that aren’t perfect than supposedly perfect AI blobs. In the case of the former, I can still talk to the artist about his creation, tell him what I like or don’t like, and ask him about his ideas and motivations for this execution of the painting.
Try this with DALL-E.
:wink:

There is a new episode of “Draftsmen”, the podcast by Proko (Stan Prokopenko) and Marshall Vandruff. This episode is about AI again. There is an older episode that was also about AI but back then diffusion models didn’t exist yet.

We will probably hear about this more often

the line in the article “you can’t copyright a style.” missing the main point. A lot of Artists did not consent for their art to be used for to train Ai.

At long last, DALL-E 2, OpenAI’s image-generating AI system, is available as an API, meaning developers can build the system into their apps, websites and services. In a blog post today, OpenAI announced that any developer can start tapping the power of DALL-E 2 — which more than three million people are now using to produce over four million images a day — once they create an OpenAI API account as part of the public beta.

Yeah I think it is time to close this? I kept it open just to keep a place to discuss AI otherwise we would have many AI threads. It can be open or closed let the people here decide

Hi

If topic is closed, we’ll have 1 or 2 new topics per week about this subject, not sure it’s better :sweat_smile:

At least there’s currently a place where people can talk about it and share their feeling
People will stop to feed this topic by themselve I think

agreed with Grum999, easier to keep it in one thread for the time being.

Though I agreed thread has gone long enough. I still feels like there is much more stuff to discuss on AI since it is gonna be an issue on-going for the time being.
