I was on stable diffusion art and one of my comments got removed for saying the OP didn't "make" the AI generated art. But he didn't make shit the AI made it, he typed in a description and hit enter. I think we need a new word for when someone shared art an AI made, like they generated it or something. It feels insulting to actual artists to say you made art with AI
I go to a human artist and say "please make me a painting of my family. Make my wife more beautiful, me more tall, and my kids not look like little shits." And then you give money. That's a prompt for a commissioned work.
No one ever praises the Duke of Milan for commissioning a painting of The Last Supper. They praise Leonardo Friggin' di Vinci for making it.
Honestly, these are both simplistic takes. Tools are tools are tools, so for better and worse there is a big gradient across "popped up a genAI and asked for an image with a prompt">"asked a genAI for an image and then asked for changes">"asked a gen AI for an image and then fine tuned it and tweaked it in parts to the point where, let's be honest, this would have been faster to do in Photoshop from scratch" (which is a thing and it baffles me a little)>"made an image using some genAI content in the process".
It's a bit of a mess, and a good reason why to be safe for production and commercial use a lot of pro content creation places just ban the technology outright to avoid legal issues later. That's a good call.
If you want to draw a line for amateur image sharing... I don't know, it gets weird and complicated.
People who ask for art didn't do the art. Wretch, you have merely stated a request. Worse, you have spoken your desires to a demon, and now you proudly display its gift as your own work.
It's just disappointing how few people are literate with standard occult practices. Never summon anything more powerful than you, never tell your innermost thoughts and desires to a demon, and if you are that stupid don't brag about it. Real JV league demonology.
Cause its not a very important post and its mostly just me bitching lol. Almost posted to one of the conversation subs but figured it fit here as well.
It takes less effort to post a single paragraph of ranting than it does to edit the text on a meme image. In a way, this is a shittier shitpost than most.
So there is this feature where you can focus the AI on a specific file when generating responses. If that file contains only your own digital art, is the AI art produced yours? Not saying that's what you found, but maybe there is some nuance to AI art creation.
That painter didn't make the painting, the brush did, he just dunked it into some color and pushed it around. Probably didn't even grind his own pigment...
