I love seeing folks cranking out AI art better than the stuff i’ve been producing with it, ‘cause it means it’s a field of study in which experimentation and insight pays off. It’s a new tool with room for personal skill. I have a digital artist friend (kirsten zirgibl) who was amazing before, but has been exploring AI tools in producing her work, and is now twice as amazing. Repeatedly, even here, you see that the best outputs are being created by folks who are already artists.
It’s just another thing in our toolboxes. An exciting, powerful thing. I feel like tossing it out as a concept and being anti-AI just because it’s forcing people to rethink things is missing an enormous opportunity. Not only to expand the way you can convey an idea or feeling, but to participate in the new world.
AI isn’t going away. Might as well learn how to coexist with it.
- I tend to agree, but it's also so disposable, I'm much more impressed by a hand-made drawing or artwork from a human hand than a thousand polished AI pieces_niko

- Yeah, it’s like furniture. The handmade stuff will always be impressive, even if only for that fact.scarabin
- Meanwhile the machine world is producing Aerons that are also very impressivescarabin
- You have a point when it comes to inevitability. But it also sucks if you've realized you've spent two decades learning skills and accruing student debt..garbage
- ..and now a 12 year old can accidentally do it in an hour. And again, the whole point of GANS is to eventually have zero human input.garbage
- That is the endgame. It's not going to be a new tool we use; it will eventually be a replacement. The window of "AI-artist" is going to be very fucking slim.garbage
- I don’t think “artist” as a human class will ever be replaced entirely. It’s a human impulse to create. The role of “AI artists” WILL change a lot for years thoscarabin
- In the end, a company still has to type prompts and someone needs to be paid for thatscarabin
- GANs were invented almost a decade ago, only recently training got easier with cloud computing (thousands of nvidia A100 cards)grafician
- Someone will still need to put it all together into a campaign and i’m not trusting suzie from accounting to do itscarabin
- but it's only still very limited tech, so nah, don't buy into tools are replacing us lol wtfgrafician
- agreed @scarabin. It's a powerful new tool we have to come to grips with. It's not going away. It IS going to change how we work.It might take a lot of our jobsmonNom
- Not many layout artists sticking things down with rubylith these days. Not many retouchers working in a darkroom.
And god help you if you specialized in flash!monNom - But holy shit if you wanted to make a painted graphic novel, that just went from a year-long endeavour to a month.monNom
- In time, AAA games and Blockbuster movies are going to be within reach of individual creators.monNom
- If hollywood weren’t so broken i’d say it could lead to movies being produced cheaper and thus better working conditions and “riskier” films being madescarabin
- I think Hollywood is going the way of rubylith.monNom
- ...along with the whole ecosystem that comes with it. But movies will still be made. Maybe better movies than are possible now given the constraints.monNom
- No point in investing time in fine-tuning your prompts, they work differently for every model and next year there will be something differentdrgs
- If infantile ai can replace an education you haven’t paid for yet, the problem is not aiimbecile
- "AI Library" - a directory that lists 300+ such tools https://library.phyg…neverscared
- its great for memesmilfhunter
- Good take. No one should complain that AI is a “cheat,” without also citing Photoshop, computers, the Internet, electricity, running water...ptrdo
