    • beautiful. I'm loving all the hard work and effort some of you are putting into these things, I've gained a whole new appreciation for this tool as a legit_niko
    • way to make art._niko
    • Dunno, while these are cool it's really diminishing the time/skill/talent it takes/took to make something real. Now it's just copied/pasted prompts.formed
    • I like these things as inspiration to make real world large scale paintings.PhanLo
    • ^That's what's upgrafician
    • Yeah, if you do that, that's awesome and something I might give a go, too. It's beautiful, don't get me wrong, just frustratingformed
    • (almost) anyone can make nice shit so easily.formed
    • Make it art.palimpsest
    • formed - it's not quite that. You can get '60% there' sometimes, but that 40% is where 'our talents' still come in 110%.Nairn
    • also, there is definitely an 'art' to deriving and iterating prompts to get close to that 60%. It's both terrifying and comforting...Nairn
    • Yeah, but as you feed them you are training an engine that will make your talents irrelevant. Should be scary for younger folks (it is).garbage
    • These are the toy systems, and within a few years there will be proprietary engines that corporations and crap artists will use for a hefty fee.garbage
    • The actual creators are the middleman that these systems are going to cut out. It's weird to me that people don't get this.garbage
    • It's already started replacing people in copywriting and lower level design. New ML engines are going to be more powerful by several orders of magnitude.garbage
    • And before I get poo-poo'd with things like "if you're worried about AI, you're not good enough", the big one hasn't dropped yet.garbage
    • Adobe Sensei is going to put a lot of really talented people out of business real quick.garbage
    • Anybody who has used CC for the past 8 years or so has been training Sensei. That was one of the main reasons they went to the cloud.garbage
    • The camera killed oil painting.palimpsest
    • I heard that a lot of art galleries are closing down because of AI.palimpsest
    • I mean, yeah - but as pal suggests - every 'evolution' erm.. evolves things. I do wonder whether this ten years down the line might make UBIncome A Thing.Nairn
    • It's still not making art though, I mean artworld art. I'm looking forward to the day it will. For now it's just making NFT art.palimpsest
    • And when it will I'm looking forward to how we'll use it.palimpsest
    • From the comments I gather that if a human were to paint this by hand only then it would become art.palimpsest
    • I'll just wait for an AI to be smart enough to declare that it's making 'Art' before I know that it's just being a pretentious cunt and should be ignored.Nairn
    • AI is too smart to pretend it's making art, that's a matter for the plebes.palimpsest
    • AI imitates graphic styles which is what has the plebe up in arms. I would like it see imitate young artist like Ivan Argote or Julia Weist.palimpsest
    • Creative outlets are therapeutic for me. "making" AI generated art removes the part I enjoy. So, I don't have any interest. But, I do like some of it.section_014
    • This is the sort of thing I've been making kind of inspired by AI https://www.qbn.com/…PhanLo
    • I find drawing the machine stuff tedious and time consuming. Painting in the street is ultimately a pointless pursuit, a waste of life. If I can speed the...PhanLo
    • ...process up a bit with AI then I'll use it.
      Everyone on here is closer to death than youth, so you might as well make things. You'll be dead soon.

    • All the details are my favorite part! That links dead, btw.section_014
    • Ah, it was just a post in the graffiti art thread :-)PhanLo
