Surfing and kitesurfing is a real adventure that combines a sense of freedom and adrenaline. Thanks to https://solidkitesurf.com/ , I learned kitesurfing, and it has become one of the best things I have ever done. Kitesurfing not only helped me find a new hobby, but also opened up new horizons of opportunities and emotions. Every time I go out on the water, it brings me incredible pleasure and energy!
And then word gets out through people writing these news posts, which has then somebody make a script that ignores those pixels and we’ll be back where we started… 😅
A while back, my brother gave me a prompt along the lines of "one or more giants rising from a bottomless lake."
I made a pencil sketch while on the train two weeks ago and only inked it today, also while on the train.
I don't know why riding trains gets me in a drawing mood, but I have lots of rides for the next two years, so expect more frequent posts 😂
I’ve gotten into AI assisted art in the past month. I would agree that a pure text-to-image approach does imply a lot of creative control given over to the AI tool - sometimes that results in happy accidents, sometimes that leads to very generic looking generations.
There are a wealth of tools and techniques at an artists fingertips (and free or cheap) that help constrain the generation to a visual thinker’s sketch or apply style to the image. Most AI platforms incorporate image-to-image and serviceable artworks can be generated from a very rough sketch of a composition. Text-to-image can be constrained with extensions like controlnet (automatic 1111, stable diffusion) where you can take a reference image or a black and white image of diffused shapes indicating depth and have the generated image tied such that you can have very predictable compositions.
Pure text-to-image, I see the writer’s point. However that’s really only scratching the surface of what can be done and not a fair assessment of “AI art isn’t suited for visual thinkers” in my opinion. Taking an AI output and tossing it into photoshop (or Krita) as a foundation to be worked on is also a valid path - you could then take that worked image and then do image-to-image on it and see what you get. To me, it’s more of a collaboration with the tool of AI rather than an all powerful genie. If I have a strong visual idea in my head, I sketch it, or even photograph me doing it and use that as a base for the AI to work with.
I will add though, that the downside of AI assisted workflows is feeling less connected to the art - I didn’t spend the time with the image to feel out each piece and it’s quirks. The image appears, and I have to pour over it and touch it up to feel more ownership of the result.
I can see the image fine on kbin, you could also be getting randomly consistent server errors cause there is a little bit of instability in the platform.
