A place to share images and art generated by artificial intelligence and similar tools.
Rules:
All posts must be relevant to image generation with artificial intelligence.
Please include the name of the AI or tool used to generate your image at beginning of your post to promote searchability. Example: "[Midjourney] Picture of a lake."
It's not required, but we encourage you to include the prompt used to generate the image in the description of your post.
To avoid spam, please try to limit yourself to five posts a day. Feel free to add as many images to your posts as you'd like.
Please keep NSFW content to a minimum. Risque content is allowed, but pornographic AI art is not. There are plenty of other places to share that. Posts not flagged as NSFW will result in a temporary ban.
Do not self promote your AI tools you created without mod permission. Also any other post about AI tools that seem sketchy will be removed and the user banned at the moderators discretion. Please report a post if you think it should fall in line with breaking this rule.
Please be nice to your fellow users and make sure to follow Lemmy World's rules of conduct: https://mastodon.world/about

Will AI replace artists? On one hand, the answer to whether AI will replace artists is no.
Generative AI is a powerful tool that can expand the possibilities of art making and will still require the guiding hand of a human artist. As with any new technology, some creative processes will become both easier and less time-consuming with AI.
it's basically just a really powerful brush helping you to translate your thoughts to a canvas more efficiently. What the art contains, the artstyle, composition, colors etc are all still decided by the artist.
I think the biggest effect of AI will be that it will increase the scale of art. Instead of doing a paintinf a year, you might be creating a city sized art piece a year.
Basically artists will transistion to becoming more like art directors.
Projects that are done with potentially hundreds of people today (like a movie or a video game), might be done with just one person. And future projects with hundreds of people will instead have 100 times the size/detail.
You're basically taking the manual labor out of art, but not the art out of the art.
I'm aware of where I'm posting, but the joy of making art is as much in the process as the result. Give it a short while and we'll have ai that makes prompt generation even easier. Then even less of the individual will be in the work. At what point do we say, "you're barely doing anything here"?
Let me ask you this: Would you consider photography art? And if so, is it fair to say that photography is a cheap form of art because the process is often less intense than putting a brush to canvas?
See, this is how I know you don't know anything about the creative process. You think photography is just clicking the shutter. Not composition, lighting, shutter speed, etc.
Plus development is a science.
It's not the same as asking a computer to copy someone else's work.
No need to be hostile. I know plenty about creative process, including photographic process. What I'm asking you is, if art is directly tied to the process of creating it, in the same way that photography has a different process than painting, would ai art be considered art to you if you learned that there actually is a process of refining the product?
That is to say, you pointed out that there is a difference between clicking the shutter and taking light, composition, shutter speed etc, into account. One of those produces an ameteur product, and one produces a photo worthy of a gallery. And the difference is the artist.
So if you were to learn that not all ai art is even close to art, that in fact the vast majority of it is akin to the amateur clicking the shutter, would you consider good ai art any more valid given a process you may not be aware of?
No, because a computer cannot create. It cannot make design decisions.
Yes, it is a tool. A camera is a tool, and yet there is a process in which it is used to create art. A paint brush is a tool, but it's not the thing that decides what goes on the canvas. A tool does not create without an artist.
What you're arguing, that a computer does not create, isn't even the point. Ultimately ai generation, like any tool, is only as good as the vision of the person piloting it.
It's pretty clear to me that you don't want to hear what I'm saying anyway. You want to be angry about a tool.
Good luck with that 👍
