Comment on Midjourney Accuses Stability AI of Image Theft, Bans Its Employees
barsoap@lemm.ee 3 months agoAgree and disagree. You actually can get proper art out of those systems, also novelty, but it usually involves leading the AI onto a gradient you can’t reach with mere text prompts. It’s kinda like with riding horses: As a beginner, the horse will judge you an idiot and follow the horse in front of it and not your commands. You have to have both the intention and the skill to lead the horse onto an untrodden path.
Or, differently put: If a sketch can be art then so can a piece that the AI generated from such a sketch, that was declared adequate by the sketch maker. “Here, machine”, said the human, “I have done my part, I have infused these bits with life, now you do the boring stuff and polish it”.

I don’t know what part of my answer full of contempt made you think that I am open to the standard tech bro babble?
I think you are disgusting people and charlatans desperately trying to pretend that you know what art is. Is that a clearer response for you. The first response was a bit too creative so I understand why you wouldn’t understand it.

I understood you just fine. What you don’t understand is that art depends not on the medium but the creator. Where do you draw the line? If I throw a sculpt of mine not into SDXL but Cycles to render, does it suddenly become art? Or is it still not art because I’m not using a paintbrush, hell I’m not doing a single bit of shading? Do I need to work with actual clay? That clay also has an undo button (of sorts). Does only marble count? Where’s your standard? Can you articulate it?

You are in no way different from the people typing “big tiddies” into a prompt box and hitting generate. You only sound slightly more intelligent to the other cold husks but to us standing by the bonfire, you look exactly the same. I actually respect the titty people more because they know what they are and dont pretend to care.

Got you. You can’t articulate it.
