AI could make this less pixelated…but so could whatever humans and/or bots took the screenshot and shared it everywhere.

I’m tired.
Anyone can make art if they want. I’ll just keep saying it. Look at hyperbole comics, Cyanide and Happiness—you already know the spiel. There are classist traditions in some art spaces but you don’t have to participate in them. We have outsider art. We have fringe subcultures and movements.
I’ll be honest, it’s hard to tell if anything is a joke anymore. I thought Trump was a joke and he’s in the White House now… blame the autism.

if traditional art is transphobic how are drag queens a thing
(i know drag !== trans but still)

-More Creative
-Creates the same thing over and over
-Cannot create new things like an overfull wine glass without reference imagesdaannii@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The only thing it can do is regurgitate.
I think it has some value. I’ve been enjoying political deep fakes. Like that one of trump sucking musk toes.
I also think AI has some value for artist to use as a tool. Not to fully create pieces but to help.
If it’s used in that way it’s more ethical. . For instance, if I’m working on a painting, I often start with a real photograph. (My own or free to use reference image from a source giving permission).
I put it in Photoshop and use filters to increase edge contrast. Then I create a sketch over it. I print the sketch to scale and then transfer it to my canvas or paper. Or use it to make digital painting.
Another thing I do is use filters in Photoshop (the cutout one) to help me better able to see blocks of color changes. Because human perception makes it difficult for us to actually perceive these.
I then reference that image during the painting process.
With a specific AI you can apply a painting style of one image to another. This was actually the first free AI type art. It was called deep dream or something like that. About 5 years ago. The website is still up but doesn’t offer this anymore. But I found one that does.
So yeah you upload two images. A photo you took. And a painting you made. And set the percentage of change.
And it can help you plan a painting by making a version that will have your painting style applied. It’s actually kinda awesome.
But as you can invade you could upload someone else’s photograph. And someone else’s art piece.
Stealing their style.
I still think this specific AI tool has the most value for artist to use.

To be fair, sourcing vegan-friendly art supplies is often significantly more frustrating than finding vegan food. But as others have said, doing - do I call it ‘traditional digital’ art? - is going to have a much smaller environmental impact than AI generation systems that are dependent on servers. A used Thinkpad x230 > Midjourney?
AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
Also wanna add that in theory I’m not against AI art generation, only the way it’s usually implemented. All creativity is derivative, and as long as the user is remixing free and public domain content, I think the gained accessibility for far more people to bring their expressions to life where they otherwise would not have been able to, is worth far more than the perceived threats felt by a stagnant copy monopolist industry.
But the key thing here is proper implementation. It’s like every time we get a new toy, we forget all over again that software freedom is a moral imperative in all forms of software.
mutual_ayed@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Freedom relies on consent and mutual reciprocity, otherwise it’s exploitation. AI art diffusion models that scraped digital art portfolios and did not gain the consent of the artists nor did the artists get compensation is exploitation full stop. There is no freedom in exploitation.
2ugly2live@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What art are they looking out? Artists have been making powerful pieces with hidden messages and symbols since forever. Even graffiti can be used to disrupt and inform. Yes, there is garbage, but there’s garbage everywhere.

The title assured me that this was not satire. Since I have no critical thinking skills I’m not sure who to believe.

Don’t create or spread bait.

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky bow and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.
WuceBrillis@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Next up is music. It’ll start with jingles and the background music for commercials, then background music for movies and eventually most of the beats you hear on the radio will be made by AI.
I think the industry will still want to have real singers, so they can still make money on concerts. But the AI will be writing a lot of the lyrics for many of the big pop hits.
Your kids will be fed this garbage all throughout their childhood, and when they’re old enough to develop a critical sense they will just be used to it.

I hope we all realize that this is clearly satire or some weird way to make “woke” people seem stupid, right? 😭
anotherpurpleheathen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 months ago
It truly does get hard to tell after a certain point, though. People get mentally fatigued when “it’s just a joke bro” has been said the millionth time. And when crazy awful people with too much money are backing that joke. I’m tired.
kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I notice they used an actual photograph for their post… isn’t photography “traditional” artwork? Why not generate a person with weirdly smooth features, 6 and a half fingers on one hand, a pencil that looks vaguely like a bunch of dry spaghetti, and a sports team jersey with a garbled illegible logo? It’s so much faster, more accessible and less misogynistic.
Battle_Masker@lemmy.world 11 months ago

accessible
make some stuff with disabled people and people of color featured and see what happens

Don’t you know that it’s elitist to know how to art? Just ask all those primitive humans arting all over cave walls for thousands of years.

anomnom@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
What classic art is transphobic. Lots of renaissance artists were LGB, the T came out when many of them painted themselves into biblical characters of different genders. It gets written off as because using themselves as models was more available than models, or vanity, but transphobic is far from the first description I’d come up with for the art history I learned.
nialv7@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Uhhh I will get downvoted but I have to say, anarchy capitalism is still anarchism. And obviously disrespecting property rights is a very anarchist thing to do, so.
And many AI models you can run completely on your own hardware, no billionaire oligarchies have a say in what you do.
ameancow@lemmy.world 11 months ago
anarchocapitalism is still anarchism
Sounds more like people who want to have luxuries and comforts and money but don’t want to have anyone telling them what they can and can’t do.
Sounds about right for the current fascist techbro community.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Most anarcho-capitalists, especially the Curtis Yarvin types, just want fascism, but with Inc. at the end, and call their dictator “Chief Executive Officer”.

It’s like these mentally lazy ignorant people look all around themselves, see how the horizon is basically at the same distance all around them, therefore conclude that they must be the center of the universe, then sprinkle in a few fashionable internet soundbites and catchphrases to “make themselves sound interesting” and “with it”.

It’s not stealing if there are no rules whatsoever, which is exactly what anarchy is!

sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
There are rules. But rich people don’t have to follow them. It’s domination. Not anarchy/anarchism.
Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 11 months ago

Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
The impact per work of AI vs, say, a set of pighair brushes is massively higher.
Which is the fairest way of comparing them, per artwork.
jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 11 months ago
I’m kinda done trying to have some sort of anti-stance with this. AI reminds me too much of smartphones, where anybody who didn’t have one was an asshole, ignorant stupid old person blah. I held out on a smartphone for something like ten years, just because they were pricey, I had my dumbphone and PC, I didn’t need one. Eventually you just couldn’t do adult business effectively without one and there I stood with an iPhone 4 when 3G was getting ready to disappear.
Everyone does nothing but piss and moan about their phones, now, all the “normal” people have been sucked into the vortex that created the “neckbeard”, and we live in a dystopia where everyone can’t seem to leave the house without their government tracking device. It didn’t matter at all back when they were hot and new, every kid had to have one and now we’re fucked.
It’s the same with AI. People jumped on that shit scary fast, I think GenZ was desperate to have something that felt like “their” technology. Once I heard the scientists acting like people were stupid for being anti-AI, then I knew it was over. The upper-middle-class has spoken, all you can do now is decide to get treated like crap. Capital wants AI, and what baby wants, baby gets. They have learned to whip you with your own children to make you obey.
My favorite use for Copilot is using it to translate normal declarative sentences into that awful passive-aggressive language they use in offices because they just can’t have the terrifying confrontation of, “I put all that information in the last email, please read it again.” It’s really good at that because it’s been trained on everything you’ve probably ever sent though Outlook.
That shit’s an arbitrary class barrier, so it’s good that you can use Copilot to translate sentences into White Woman to learn office talk the way I can use SpanishDict to translate my English into Spanish and back. There wasn’t really a way to do that before, and now you can study it and learn it so you can deal with the fucked up social requirements that go into a job that pays above the median wage.
Otherwise I have no profitable use for it. I desperately need to learn one.
So yeah, start using the shit out of it or get kicked out the airlock. Sucks for the artists but capital wants change and you’ve already lost. Yeah, I don’t really want to get good at anything, either, if this thing’s just gonna suck it up, take my skills and make me go work at McDonald’s anyway after decades of dedication. Love how technology empowers like 2/10ths of the people and throws most of us under the bus, again and again.
