It also would be funny of you handle a pencil to a photographer and tell them that if they cannot draw the Mona Lisa they are not allowed to use the camera to just push a button and make a portrait.
C'mon guys let's bully those Photographer Bros, it's fun!
"Aw man, some person used an AI filter to quickly make a cute picture of themselves as a couple! Guess they should ride the sewer slide. Anybody who uses any AI whatsoever should krill themselves, otherwise there will be exactly zero human beings that still prefer art made with human hands, expertise and creativity!" ~ Dipshits all over social media
FFS, they're not taking your job, they used an AI on their own photo to do a cute thing that they're not going to sell. If you're a good artist, you WILL find work. I make art for a living myself (and am paid quite well for it), and on occasion I use AI tools to make my workflow more efficient while still doing most of the difficult bits (such as, idk, CREATIVITY) myself. This all-or-nothing approach the internet has to AI in art is unbelievably annoying and pretentious, and reeks of that classic armchair critic stench. God, people sure do like to post extremely dumb shit to make themselves feel better, even up to and including stuff that essentially amounts to saying "kys" in response to someone using a glorified Snapchat filter.
My one complaint in your comment is the "if you're a good artist you'll find work", it's simply not true.
I'm a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.
I understand what you're saying, that the job market is a lot of luck and can be unfair. But it does sound like they need to keep trying. Every determined, talented person I've seen enter my industry (gamedev, an industry at the bleeding edge of ai art as a technology) has done so after hundreds of rejected applications and eventually broken in. Is it fair? Not at all. Will you eventually have your value recognized if you keep at it long enough and keep honing your craft? Absolutely. The difficult part lies in not burning out and quitting during the agonizingly grueling process of breaking in, which I can sympathize with, as I've gone through it myself. I have seen many people end up down that route, but the thing everybody on that route shared was that they didn't care enough about doing art to just keep on trying despite whatever circumstances they had thrown at them, which is just an unfortunate reality. And yes, for what it's worth, AI is absolutely making that process more frustrating.
OK, I wouldn't care what people use but I draw line at when people Ghiblify their image like it's normal because Miyazaki literally said "I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.". This trend is like Fuck Your entire life to make such art womp womp I can just use AI replicate your work.
His reply doesn't disagree with anything I said. Using AI to enhance your creativity and do work more efficiently is not the same as letting the AI do the actually creative/artistic bits for you, which seems to be the thing he's upset at in that clip.
I've seen so many people get so absurdly angry about this, it's really sad. It's just a fucking photo filter they thought was neat then forgot about. Let people have fun
Yes, I too kill myself any time someone uses a software tool.
Edit: thanks for the downvoters pointing out I got it wrong. This is actually a murder suicide which makes sense since that's what a ton of men are into.
My wife wanted to join the trend but chatgpt was like:
I wasn't able to generate the image because the request didn't follow our content policy. Let me know if you'd like me to adjust the request or create something different!
Thank you for sharing this. Yeah tbh I am kind of a rock dweller. My wife was teasing me because I thought Alicia Keys was some 50-60 yr old white woman. When I saw her rehearsal on apple tv I was very confused for a moment there. My wife also thinks I am fucking tismed. I think I am just rarted but who really knows
Yeah I would like to check their stuff out! Ill have to see where I can watch some of their stuff. But the name is vaguely familiar. So maybe I have seen some and just don’t realize it
I was leery of AI early on, but people told me it has tons of good potential uses. Sure, it seems to help search results, but almost every other time I hear about AI, it’s for negative reasons.
We've had ai for decades and it has infinite uses, finding cancer, observing space, math, doing corporate busywork, etc. the generative ai we have now is only good for hurting artists and culture.
I imagine half the people using generative ai for memes wouldn’t have been able to even get online in the 90’s since you had to shop for a modem, install it in an ISA slot (yes, open the scary computer box), determine compatible IRQ settings and reflect them in BIOS, hardware jumper, and software, find (or sign up for) a valid BBS / internet service, set the proper software protocol, and troubleshoot why it didn’t work the first time. I almost wish my computer made modem connecting sounds when downloading a file. Yes, this is my “walked uphill to school” story. :)
A d that's a great depiction on how the space you chose to be and the people you surround yourself with can and will shape your thoughts.
If you would have been surrounded by a different environment you would have read different news and opinions and you may had not change your mind in that regard.
I think it's a reflection on the creator of gibli, who's work this Ai is stealing by copying it, which is especially bad seeing as the same creator hated Ai for its inability to reflect life.
The main way in which this place is worse than reddit is the higher concentration of wankers who think it's okay to make a machine do their expression for them, artistic or otherwise.
