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!!!!"
Okay, I want to see it though. That’s kinda my question. I see a lot of slop, I haven’t seen anything else.
I’m a huge fan of Duchamp even, who seems to be massively misunderstood, as he is typically, in the thread. I want to see evidence of good art with AI.
Edit: it’s really interesting, I’ve had similar conversations multiple times before, but no one actually shares good AI art. Just argues that it is possible, never any proof…
Ha ha the Dada movement was so... Bizarre. I don't even know if they themselves even cared about it. It was really a watershed time for painting and art in general IMO. Like Fauvism or cubism or absurdism.
I think people misunderstands a lot about AI and also a lot about art, you see some slop supposedly taking a graphic designers job, and people are up in arms about "AI is making art and stealing artists jobs". For me it's not that black & white and say if an energy-efficient AI can help someone make a fantastic comics well then IMO that is good.
AI on itself will never make art, like a camera won't, but I think lots of people will use them as tools in their art creation journey.
My AI art is better than one shot slop of anime wafu, but isn't good enough to exhibit.
No need to be shy, here’s my poorly drawn and watercolored Anomalocaris.
Awesome
