Yeah what you’re describing here is still art theft

people comparing this to photoshop are being dishonest and don’t deserve to be engaged with.

The solution for people who do day-in, day-out “need this asset by Tuesday” work is NOT to set up a system that rips off their fellows. It is to stop unreasonable expectations of your labor force. “how this can make their workload more efficient” is the most grossly capitalist way to talk about people whose work is

if the code requires art inputs to work, then it is blatant theft. 

You aren’t taking the time to imitate X artists style, an AI is scraping that artist’s work so it can be black box photoshopped into a new form. Artists are the reason that the ai has anything to produce but they don’t get credit, they didn’t give consent, and they don’t get any money for it. AI art would be great, if

It’s the beginning of the end of art creation as a common line of work, the entire sector will suffer a downfall similar to what painters/sculptors/craft had in the past, and photographers are having, and we’ll all collectively lose a ton because of that. Another artform as a means of work lost for the masses because

So the fall of dA comes with corporate greed through the movement on making artists and any of their labor and visions obsolete. I remember AI-stans fervently denying this going to happen and arguing with me here. It’s like they don’t know we live in a corporatocracy, or are working for them.

Photoshop is a tool, it can also be used to clone art, it hasn’t destroyed the art world.

The tech *is* cool af, but “embrace it or get out of the way” is an incomplete line of thought: these AI programs could have to address a lot of legal loopholes and copyright issues that they’ve been skirting around and not mentioning. For example, if the AI is using Bobby’s art as a sample to create the art,

Happily. Go fuck yourself.

20%? Businesses are all 100% about money. It’s economics 101.

right, but they’re only enamoured because it’s an opportunity to make money

How could they miss the mark so hard by making all the art opt-in by default? At first glance it seemed like they were at least asking for permission unlike... every other AI out there... so the concept didn’t sound that bad but then they completely ruined everything.

A particularly boneheaded move considering Twitter’s implosion has a good chunk of artists looking for new (or old) shores to move to, only for DA to hang a sign saying “Stay Away!”

The answer is money (at all costs) because thats all the answer ever is

Decent doesn’t bring in venture capital.

Why did they do this? I mean I assume the answer is to make money but it seems so obviously stupid for a site that has from what I can see a decent track record. 

something tells me you’ll live.

Huh? The headline doesn’t spoil anything - it hints that inside the article there will be a spoiler. The photo is of the original pokemon. The evolution is not spoiled until you read the article and get to...the spoiler warning. Jesus, you people will complain about anything being spoiled these days like the new
