everything you are as a person, your thoughts and ideas are built off of your enivronment and experiences. every piece of art you view. every tutorial you follow is someone else’s art that you are referencing. it's how we as humans learn and teach.

that has already happened to me once already

Talentless people defending harmful actions doesn’t make those actions any less harmful.

I’m imagining a distopia, where all art is AI. There is no human-generated art, so AI has to scrape images from other AI. It gets worse and worse until eventually, all AI generated images are just crabs.

I mean, it is just a tool..... A tool that companies will gladly utilize to eliminate jobs, wages, and benefits and increase their bottom line.

It’S jUsT a tOOl bRo!!

There-in lies the rub. They probably have someone in marketing run the prompt through a program and post-it. I say that because any artist can see the flaws in the image and would be able to modify or fix it. But the companies would rather not hire anyone to do that, so pawn it off to some intern in marketing to get…

BUT THE PLOW ONCE REPLACED FARM GUY, AND ONE TIME CAMERA REPACED PAINTER GUY. SO WHO CARES THAT HUMAN NO MAKE ART! QED

People go to school and spend their lives training to become artists. With digital art it was still humans creating it. Having their work replaced by generative garbage like this is an insult. This will only lead to more people struggling to find work and make a living.

They’d rather produce absolute slop than pay a single human being.

Recycling the exact same argument you clowns used for NFT’s two years ago, I see. Well, I guess if you guys were capable of coming up with new ideas, you wouldn’t need AI.

Not only are they willing to put out poor quality art just to save a few pennies, but they won’t even take the ten minutes or so to review the results before posting them. Their stupidity would be hilarious if they weren’t the ones steering the ship.

That’s what shows how these companies view this. If they’ll use AI for this, rather than hire an actual artist who wouldn’t let this shoddy crap slip by, just think of the garbage they’ll generate for bigger projects.

Spoken as someone who does not understand art or technology.

Love to “champion” indie creators by using a tool that steals the work of other creators

Funny to use AI on something so simple to draw.

Exactly this. You know who presented the trophy to the Go-Kart winners at the FIA’s awards show? Max Verstappen. They didn’t bring in Tom Cruise to do it, they used one of their own.

The time and place is where and when people are listening. The people who most like to say “time and place” are also the kind of people that will scream for Colin Kaepernick to be arrested after kneeling in protest, something HE LITERALLY CONSULTED WITH VETERANS ON TO DO IN THE MOST RESPECTFUL WAY, but then won’t bat…

Someone once asked me why people get hyped for Nintendo Directs but get annoyed at TGA being just a trailer/ad fest, and I still think TGA cosplaying as something more meaningful really is the crux of it.
