I pressed the demo button on a keyboard in a music store once.

My second album will be out next month if anyone is interested.

I to have no talent and am unable to create traditional art.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

But what about getting likes without any effort or personal involvement??! /s

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (1 children)

-More Creative
-Creates the same thing over and over
-Cannot create new things like an overfull wine glass without reference images

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.

In contrast I've been using software in a similar way for at least 20 years. 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.

Now that's not using AI. But I am using software. Ai can be used similarly though.

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 imagine 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.

I don't have time to read replies like this.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Okay then. Just gives outline of how I use Photoshop and AI as a tool for traditional art.

[–] anotherpurpleheathen@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I’m tired.

[–] ssfckdt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 days ago

if traditional art is transphobic how are drag queens a thing

(i know drag !== trans but still)

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

What a dumb asshole.

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.

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

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 189 points 1 week ago (10 children)

"Anarchist" lololol

Yeah, using the corporate product that stole all individuals' work to regurgitate abortions from billionaire oligarch's algorithms is totally "anarchist."

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 3 points 6 days ago

Anyone who claims "AI = anarchy" deserves to have a canvas broken on its head cartoon style

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days 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.

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 55 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Exactly. I remember in Conquest of Bread when Kropotkin talked about freeing up more time by automating creative and intelligent pursuits so we can focus more on menial labor.

Obviously /s

This is cartoonishly obvious bait.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 64 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Engaging with bait like this is 90% of why the world is in the mess it’s currently in.

I hate how misogynistic traditional art is! Just last week, when I was drawing, my pencil started ranting about "feeeeemales."

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Don't create or spread bait.

Most people are too stupid to know the difference. Not you of course. You know what is up.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 days ago

sorry consider the bait spread i personally have the opinion that bait inoculation is possible

Thats the scary part, in 2023 that was a good way to identify AI slop. Its getting tricky now and you need an eye for detail and lighting. By 2027, I fear people wont be able to tell the difference.

This feels just like the twitter men roleplaying as women saying that they love misogyny.

They're using "woke" language to promote anti-woke subjects.

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 days ago

good way to put it
