I know AI art has been sort of a hot topic on the net lately. I myself dont really know where to stand as I know fairly little about it.

So I making this thread so you guys can tell me why you like or dislike AI art

Here is a positive and negative I know of

Plus: you can generate art of whatever you want both lewd and non-lewd stuff and it (mostly) looks good

Con: because of how it works with prompts and all that it may be considered plagiarising of other artists work

So what do you think?
I'm okay with A.I. art as long as it isn't being used in an intrusive way, if you're just saving it to your computer and sharing it with friends go for it.

I have a major gripe with it though and its the fact that it is being spammed everywhere on art sharing sites and I wish sites would either restrict it to its own tag or disallow it entirely.

So.

Now that it has been sometime since its wider use. I was wondering if any of you guys' opinion about ai might have changed in either direction.

Presonally, Im getting a less enthusiastic about it. Particulary because of its prevalence on image sites likr pixiv. Also, I havent been there in a while, but Ive heard sankaku is crawling with ai art.

Of course this may not be a bad thing for some, but Im getting a little tired of it.

There is also the concern of what are they using to train the ai. I recall hearing some time ago that a few "artists" where using it practically to trace cp. So yeah.

Now obviously not all ai art is like that But it does stay at the back of my mind.

So what is yout opinion on ai art, now.

Im also curious if any of you guys are making or used to make ai art.

I still mostly stand by my original opinion:
In my opinion the only ones that loose out with AI art (and AI in general) are the bottom feeders. People who charge ridiculous amounts of money on their Patreon for a 10% increase in res, shitty art, furry artists (even shitty furry art gets a lot of money thrown at it), etc. Basically the people that have tried to cash in on art. Them pointing at "AI Artists" is like them pointing at a mirror.

Some sentiment I've seen with some artists shows the correct approach. The two I've seen the most:
- AI up-scaling is already good enough that trying to grift with low res art doesn't work and diversifying my art will be more productive
- Generating an image to test color theory and composition before spending hours on a piece / generate my own references

AI Art is a tool that people have to use and not disregard. Imagine where we would be if mathematicians said "Ban calculators because it does simple math better than me!" instead of using it to speed up the simple stuff and get more done! Same here. People can use it as references, test if their work could work out before spending hours on it, etc.
Or look at gaming. With AI art nobody has to waste time creating textures and being stuck in an endless back and forth. Take your AI and tell it generate the same texture 1000 times at 128x128 in 10 different styles and choose the one you like the most for your project. Then tell the AI to generate that one in a higher res and either use it directly or use it as reference.

All in all: It's a tool that saves money and time if you use it correctly.
The biggest Problem I've seen however is that every site is flooded with it and that a lot of grifters have popped up trying to advertise their patreons or commisions like as if not everybody with a half decent PC could do the same.
It's a tool you can use to speed up things and I personally might try to use it for game dev to make textures.

All AI did was provide a tool. It's the way people use it that made things worse. It's no different than character generators like koikatsu.

I was making AI art but not as much as before. Something seems to go wrong the first dozen of iterations and it always seem like it's missing a vae or the model is wonky, there may be something to do with the update. My gens seem to not have the quality that some of the other more well known distributors generate so I waned lately. I still think it's good in and of itself, though it might need a couple more iterations before a layman like me could get back into it.
I barely go to image hosting sites in general and don't really pay attention to the "scene" of anything really so I wouldn't really know if certain things are oversaturating and becoming irritable. Usually I start noticing it when I start seeing ads for it online if it somehow gets by the adblocker and offline.

My opinion is still that it's a great shitposting tool and it should be treated as a shitposting tool

now they evolved to the point of being able to put text on the image

I'm on the side that only uses it for shitposts but imo, as long as you don't try to use it to get easy money by replicating other people's stuff then it's fine by me

Just like any tool, it's use should be moderated.

I personally wouldn't use it cause I wouldn't get any fulfillment out of using it for art. I can't even use it for porn since all the results are too uncanny for me to find it hot.

Like others have said, AI image generation is just a tool, it's not inherently wrong. The problem is how it's used by people. The biggest problems I see are the ingestion of artists' works for model training without permission or compensation, the harassment on artists (general and targeted) by replicating the artists art style and mocking the artists, and the flooding of AI generated images on various platforms causing reduction of artists' exposure.

Personally, I wish to see better technology at protecting unauthorized ingestion of artwork for model training, better separation of non-AI and AI images on art sharing platforms, and better protection for artists from AI art generator users' targeted harassment.
