Ohhh ffs it is!

[-] riskable@programming.dev 41 points 2 months ago

We are merely at the beginning of this revolution! Soon AI artists will be generating whole gifs of Sonic giving birth to Borat and eventually, feature-length movies!

What a wonderful future awaits us!

Can't wait to see the repeating gif of Sonic giving birth to Borat who then gives birth to Sonic.

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 10 points 2 months ago

Then we can ask ourselves “which came first, Sonic or Borat?” So deep

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

Such a deep question can only be provoked by the artistic masterpiece that is Sonic and Borat.

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

That's Sonic HOLDING baby Borat.

I WANT TO SEE THE BIRTH

DALL-E would block it and you'd have to try:

A blue creature with one continuous eyeball with two pupils and large spikes down his back like the Chupacabra laying in the ground with its thighs seperated. It is keeping a greasy looking turkey there with red jam all over it and the face of an Italian looking man with a large mustache and curly hair

[-] TootSweet@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Never mind. I've seen it now. In my mind's eye. Don't need to have DALL-E generate anything any more. 🤮

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I had no respect for the term "prompt engineer" until I read this comment.

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Be the change you want to see

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago
[-] CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Make your dreams a reality! If you try hard enough even you can write prompts

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Pretty sure you need an art degree for that.

[-] tombruzzo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah! With a prompt like that I want to see Boratcrowning out of Sonic

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

I don't mind people making and sharing AI pictures for fun, but if you sell those pictures, that's kinda cringe tbh.

[-] Beldarofremulak@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Everyone can write a prompt. Not everyone can write a prompt that gets around vulgarity filters and outputs an image of Jesus twerking. That's where the real value is IMHO.

[-] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 7 points 2 months ago

Imagine writing a prompt for ChatGPT to generate the prompt to get around vulgarity filters.

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago

And if that person can manage to find a market that will purchase that Image, they deserve to sell it

[-] Beacon@fedia.io 2 points 2 months ago

I can't imagine there's a market for it. AI art isn't copyrightable, and even if they just post a low res preview then that allows anyone to simply use an AI upscaler on it to get a satisfactory output

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Here's what the US copyright office says about when AI art is or isn't copyrightable:

In the case of works containing AI-generated material, the Office will consider whether the AI contributions are the result of “mechanical reproduction” or instead of an author’s “own original mental conception, to which [the author] gave visible form.” 24 The answer will depend on the circumstances, particularly how the AI tool operates and how it was used to create the final work.25 This is necessarily a case-by-case inquiry.

So if an image looks like AI and you decide to just take it, legally that could be a risky proposition if you don't know the artist's workflow and the situation doesn't exactly match up with settled case law. Afaik most of the market is for custom images, so in practice most of the time it's not going to be a situation of just putting in a prompt and handing over the result but rather a multi step process and a hybrid of different techniques, which could weigh more towards generated content or more towards traditional drawing or image manipulation. The reason to pay someone for that instead of just using AI yourself would be the same as the reason for paying for non-AI art; they have the skills to get better results than you easily can on your own. The reason an artist might use AI is that it improves quality and/or reduces the amount of work.

[-] yboutros@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I sort of agree, but I think it depends on effort.

Type one word in and try and sell the easiest generated image? Low value.

But typing the right combo to create assets to create something larger than the model is capable of? That's more valuable.

Criticizing AI or artists that leverage AI is like criticizing an artist for using a printer instead of drawing by hand

Or saying someone's digital work is inferior because they used a tool to help make their image...

On that note, when working on a large project, is an AI artist as pretentious as the artist in the comic because they got some help generating the project from an AI instead of another human? Or is someone's work ethic less credible for Google searching instead of asking a person? Are works of art valuable because they're entirely original and uninfluenced by anything else but the artist themself? Because with that metric no artists are valuable since nothing is entirely original anyways

[-] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I honestly think if an artist makes their own model based on only their own work and then use that model to create more of their work, then it's completely fine if they want to sell it. I imagine if there's future for AI art then that's probably the best future, one where the AI creates most of the image and then the artist does some touching up where AI wasn't good enough.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I don't oppose AI pictures at all. However, considering that all generative image models have been trained on human generated data, it is only fair that these models and art created by them be under copyleft licenses.

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In the US under federal law only a human being may own copyright over a piece of artwork. Even a monkey that takes its own picture can't legally own the picture, so neither can an AI. The only thing you can own is the access to the artwork.

[-] abrake@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Honest question: how does this work for corporations? Does that mean a particular employee of a corporation holds the copyright, or can the corporation itself (e.g. Disney) as a legal "person" hold a copyright?

[-] Just_Pizza_Crust@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Nobody can hold the copyright unless it's deemed to be created by a human. Disney owns the copyright because under US law, corporations are also people, and their employees create the work for Disney.

[-] BabyVi@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

If AI prompting is the only tool involved I agree. If it's being used as just another tool in the artists toolkit it's a different matter. For example I've seen people combining their photography with AI via masking and it's about as respectable as collage art in my opinion.

[-] TehBamski@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

What's more cringe though? Selling off the wall AI generated images or selling pictures of your butthole? (Asking for a friend.)

[-] superkret@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

How much would your friend charge for a 12'x12' oil painting of their butthole?

[-] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

The true power of AI generation...

...infinite memes

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 15 points 2 months ago

...okay, so it's not just me that gets an SSL error every time someone hosts an image on catbox.moe, right?

[-] Maven@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago

I did it specifically because I didn't want you to see this meme. It's not for your eyes.

[-] AFreeLarryHoover@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Wrong arm color.

[-] ConstipatedWatson@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The horror, the horror... I embrace it...
