01: A girl labeled 'Artists' is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says "We don't really wanna MAKE A.I. art."
02: A guy labeled 'Art Enjoyers' holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says "We don't really wanna SEE A.I. art."
03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says "Um ... I-Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?" She is labeled 'Shareholders'.
04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. 'Artist Enjoyers' Guy is now in front of her yelling "AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!" while 'Artists' Girl is in front of her yelling "WE'RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!!"
This is what I keep saying. NO ONE WANTS THIS. Its purely slop so ad companies can fire all their artists and give you unlimited targeted ads. Its the ULTIMATE enshittification.
I am not artistic, but I want to make my own art. Why should I not use AI?
The process is effectively just doing a Google image search.
It's interpolation and collating. It is digital found objects
I'm not talking about the algorithm. I'm saying that the process of generating an image is the same as typing in some text to an image search engine.
It is clear you don't understand how AI works.
Not a single person will pick the first image that is generated. All of them get tweaked and changed before they are seen as completed.
It's clear you don't understand how AI works.
It's basically just creating image after image until you find one that looks cool. About as artistic as searching through a database.
And every time you create a new image, you change the prompt slightly until you get what you are after.
If you are looking for something specific, you never get it at the first prompt. No matter what kind of "prompt engineer" you are.
Same is true for looking through a database. So what's your point?
Oh they absolutely do at approximately the same rate of choosing the first Google image search result.
Choosing the words. Choosing the type of engine. Choosing what part of the image to keep and what to discard. Choosing to inpaint and outpaint. It is digital Collage Art.
