I was on stable diffusion art and one of my comments got removed for saying the OP didn’t “make” the AI generated art. But he didn’t make shit the AI made it, he typed in a description and hit enter. I think we need a new word for when someone shared art an AI made, like they generated it or something. It feels insulting to actual artists to say you made art with AI
How wonderful, another AI thread on .world, a feast for my blocklist.
The block button hungers for the luddite with no basic reasoning skills.
Prompted it is the best one I’ve heard, as crafting the right prompt is something of a skill on its own.
They didn’t make it, they prompted the AI to make it.
Honestly, these are both simplistic takes. Tools are tools are tools, so for better and worse there is a big gradient across “popped up a genAI and asked for an image with a prompt”>“asked a genAI for an image and then asked for changes”>“asked a gen AI for an image and then fine tuned it and tweaked it in parts to the point where, let’s be honest, this would have been faster to do in Photoshop from scratch” (which is a thing and it baffles me a little)>“made an image using some genAI content in the process”.
It’s a bit of a mess, and a good reason why to be safe for production and commercial use a lot of pro content creation places just ban the technology outright to avoid legal issues later. That’s a good call.
If you want to draw a line for amateur image sharing… I don’t know, it gets weird and complicated.
Well it’s like you commission a work when you use AI. Do this, more like that, bluer, smaller etc. So not creating art IMO.
there’s also sometimes deeper collaboration with image generation, where you edit the result in like krita and then send it through the generator again to smooth out the edges of the touch-ups.
i occasionally do work where i cut up existing images to make new ones, like making a person in a particular pose by pulling an head from one image, a torso from another, an arm and background features from a third etc, then i would painstakingly color match and blend it all together with hours of filter, clone brush and single-pixel edit work. with image generation i can get a blending and lighting pass for my image in a few seconds. it’s not perfect but the speed makes the work a lot easier.
This is how art has worked for millennia.
I go to a human artist and say “please make me a painting of my family. Make my wife more beautiful, me more tall, and my kids not look like little shits.” And then you give money. That’s a prompt for a commissioned work.
No one ever praises the Duke of Milan for commissioning a painting of The Last Supper. They praise Leonardo Friggin’ di Vinci for making it.
Cool post but how is this a shitpost
It takes less effort to post a single paragraph of ranting than it does to edit the text on a meme image. In a way, this is a shittier shitpost than most.
Cause its shit
It just is.
People who ask for art didn’t do the art. Wretch, you have merely stated a request. Worse, you have spoken your desires to a demon, and now you proudly display its gift as your own work.
This!
It’s just a commission.
It’s just disappointing how few people are literate with standard occult practices. Never summon anything more powerful than you, never tell your innermost thoughts and desires to a demon, and if you are that stupid don’t brag about it. Real JV league demonology.
proompter
Please stop calling it art. A generated image is not art.
AI genner, lol.
Slopper.
“Wow this guy’s portraits are really good!”
“Nah he’s just a slopper”
That painter didn’t make the painting, the brush did, he just dunked it into some color and pushed it around. Probably didn’t even grind his own pigment…
That analogy would make sense…
If the paintbrush moved on its own.
Then it’s pendulum art.
Nah, you just asked the pendulum to do it 😁
