This is a friendly community for everyone who wants to share their art with the world! Everyone is welcomed 🎨

Please visit https://lemmy.world/c/artmarket as well! This is a community for artists to post their portfolios and announce availability to take commissions, as well as get visibility for Ko-fi, Patreon, and other funding for art activities.

Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

Hey all,

I want to get your opinion on allowing mixed AI + manually manipulated art.

Traditionally in the art world, there are examples of art that include the modification of others' artwork, mixed media inlcuding other art or media, etc. Initially I allowed some of the mixed AI + manually manipulated artwork because I felt that it fell into this type of category. However, we've received several reports on these due to the community rule stating that AI art is not allowed. Sometimes the lines of what can be considered original work and what is "copied" can be quite blurry.

I wanted to see how you all felt about including this type of art. This is a space for you, so I would rather leave the final decision up to those who take part in this community.

Let me know in the comments, and I'll adjust the community rules accordingly.

Edit: OK, seems like the people have spoken. I'll adjust the wording in the rules so that it is clear. I'll leave up the posts that I allowed before, but moving forward we won't be allowing any more AI content, even if it is manually manipulated.

"Mixed" art feels like you're going to be perpetually having to police how much any given submission has been modified before it becomes acceptable.

Just cut it off, period.

I'd rather any AI art not be allowed plus there are specific communities for that.

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 22 points 1 year ago

Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only.

I like the rule and I feel the wording is pretty unambiguous - mixed AI art is still AI art. I think it should be disallowed. I feel this community should be for humans sharing their art with other humans to express themselves.

I think the bigger "problem" going forward will be telling the difference, as the AI models get better and better.

while i have my own opinions on the ethics of AI art, there are other and thriving sublemmies dedicated to that. let’s keep it non-AI here please.

[–] nix@merv.news 17 points 1 year ago

I’d rather that not be on here

[–] OddFed@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

Upvoted for the question itself, but I strongly think we shouldn't allow AI generated content here.

[–] dameoutlaw@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I agree with one of the other commenters. There’s communities here that allow and are for AI art. I think it’s fine to now allow it here.

I'm inclined to say no to AI art, although i'd call it a grey territory to use AI for the first pass and then paint on top of that. However, I'll just say no to all AI for now.

[–] Rooki@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I would say, if its AI/AI changed art, should declared AI created ( and if possible cite original art/images creator/post )

No we don't.

Images created by AI are not art, they are AI generated images. There are places where they serve a function, but they are not an expression of art.

People said Photoshop wasn't art, or video games, or rap music, they're all wrong IMO. And I also think AI art is art. Not that you have to change your mind, just sharing that I disagree.

[–] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A better example against my argument would be music made with modular synths, as the process of images generated by a prompt can be similar to starting a synth by oscillator, setting the dials, then walking away.

The three examples you gave aren't analogous to image generation.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That is a better argument. Thank you!

while I am pretty pro AI image generation (and anti intellectual property) this community is for "real" art
