Hey artist what's is yall's opinion on A.I art?

[DiegoPalacios]

Wanted to dig deeper on the A.I. discussion.

The problem is not the technology, but the database it used for it.

It's possible to make an ethically sourced A.I., the article details a case on how it was done and can be done.

The Tech Industry Said It Was "Impossible" to Create AI Based Entirely on...

I rest my case, this doesn´t make any sense

oh yippie this threads back

from my first reply to now my opinion still hasn't changed so there's nothing new i can add to that except emphasizing what folks have already pointed out in terms of not just the moral and legal flaws it holds as a theft machine but also the more than proven environmental impact

and since people love to point fingers and scream fake news unless you show evidence, here's some articles that have expanded on all of it

Is ChatGPT Making Us Stupid?

thats like i'm more than aware of the helpful uses of the math machine in fields like MEDICINE but it's got absolutely no place in the arts and anyone who would so blindly defend it or blind themselves to the truth to defend it, especially if they're a so called creator themselves, should maybe stop chugging the kool-aid so eagerly and look at the facts so plainly put out by reputable sources and the admissions of guilt by the makers themselves if not the people who worked for them (if they survived long enough to do so)

other than that my only addition would be listen to Death of a Profiteer by Naethan Apollo and go do some arts and crafts (the tactile stuff specifically it's good for ur brain)

anyways

(edit: another addition for funzies~)

That's why my concerns were coming from the way it's often used more than with the tech itself.

There are many fields outside of art where it can be extremely useful and beneficial.

When it comes to art, i prefer to work with actual artists, because they all have a distinctive touch that has the potential to make a work stand out visually over the sea of generic stuff.

The A.I. could help to make references for said artists, but gotta say, if you wanna make money directly with the tech, there are valid concerns over the database being ethically sourced or not.

I can see the potential of A.I. being a good addition for the creation of some video games that rely on roleplaying and interacting with NPC's

Like this silly game where you are a vampire and need to convince people to let you in into their houses to eat them. You can write or talk to them through the mic, so is all about bullshitting your way into getting them to invite you.

Another interesting concept could be smart enemies that gradually start adapting their tactics to your behavior, kinda like that robot from the incredibles.

But i would NOT trust it for procedurally generated games or levels.

A lot of my concerns are in that vein as well, but for me, both for visual art and written art - if AI is used incorrectly, the person running the command is the problem.

This is actually a big reason why I say it's just a tool in your quiver and not a replacement. For example, if you're working through a scene, just because you use AI to help add description, filter out purple prose, trim the fat, etc., it doesn't mean that you can't or aren't still manually going through every word in the book. Even if a writer takes inspiration from multiple passages, they're still doing the work. From a business side, you use it to make sure that you are able to pay all your employees fairly. Ethics ARE important, but if you've ever listened to a vegan and a meat-eater debate, ethics aren't a one-size-fits-all subject. Art will never go away, but for a lot of people, they'd rather buy art that means something to them than be forced into something they don't want.
