You tell people to not use AI, and some may agree with you.

You tell companies to not use AI, they laugh at you and they keep make even big money thank to the added margin made by those poor fellow that aren't using AI... because they did listen to you.

AI is not something is gonna vanish, it's a tool... a whole new category of tools and instruments. Like the first electric musical instruments in times when the only way to have a sustained job in the music industry was to work in a orchestral band kept up by bigger institutions.

How many unplugged classical indie music artists do you know? Compare to the number of indie music artist that rely on electric musical instrument and beyond.

Photoshop has used various forms of AI for over a decade. You sound exactly like traditional artists when digital art was new lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

OP uses GIMP btw

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't get the AI hate. Why is photoshop, a tool made by an evil corporation, so much better?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Substitute GIMP for photoshop. Also you can pirate photoshop

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

There are open source AI models such as Stable Diffusion.

GIMP sucks ass though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Nah, GIMP is good.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 months ago

GIMP is shit, use Krita instead

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Since when? Everything it does is unintuitive and clunky, not to mention slow.

Classic Photoshop fanboy

It's art without an artist. Or maybe rather more accurately it's huge amounts of other peoples art put through a blender and reconstituted into a solid block of art product. Actually, yeah, it's the equivalent of spam, the tinned meat product. It has its uses, but it doesn't taste good to most people, and there are a few die hard fans.

Doing image editing/compositing/art yourself is just more genuine. It doesn't have to be the adobe product, there's tons of editors and art programs out there. Stumbling through gimp patching and editing a meme together gives the end result some charm imo. YMMV, but that's how I see it and I think a lot of others do to. Where AI generated imagery shines is utilitarian areas. Generating tokens for npcs in ttrpgs, rapidly iterating through concepts for a design, that sort of thing.

I draw and use AI in the same way I'll Google an image to get what my nonvisual memory is asking to see. Once I see it, I'm good to draw it.

FWIW, DALL-E2 was much much better than DALL-E3 at this task. It was enough to satisfy your imagination without being good enough to really look like "art". It was mass produced "art".

There are artists, but they are using math instead of photoshop.

The math behind machine learning is more beautiful than most art.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Yeah, but the machine learning is the art, not what it produces. Don't get me wrong, generative ai is super cool. However, justifiably or no, most people don't see someone who just types prompts into generative ai as an artist.

Yes. 10 years go.

Forget "Netflix and Chill", it's "Gimp and Friends" now

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Or "Krita and a Cruller".

I can crack the protection on photoshop and just pirate it; how do I kidnap people and crack them to be my friends in a similar manner?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Have you considered finding any open source friends?

Propriety friends are more likely to betray you or only be friends because you help complete their homework causing you to equate your intelligence to your self worth eventually leading to depression and an unhealthy fear of being cheated on even if you have never been in a relationship.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what an open source friend is since I don't have any

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You find open source friends the same way you find open source software... through cool t-shirts.

Drugs and a van.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Don't forget the puppy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

No need for a van. You already had me with drugs.

Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions, I've found.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Compliments and repeating what they say back to them while asking questions? So cool!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I feel like you really get me.

What if they don't like Muse?

If anyone wants to learn to draw I recomend draw a box

I use it to fit drawing lessons into my schedule when I can

And also don't force yourself to do multiple lessons in one day if you don't enjoy it, take a break from the lessons if you aren't enjoying them anymore otherwise you'll burn yourself out pretty seriously

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Looks cool

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

QUIET. PRECISE.

Bruce needs to learn about supressed sniper rifles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Or bullpup shotguns!
