Neil Clarke (editor of Clarkesworld) has a statement on AI in publishing. I don’t agree with all of it, but I appreciate the precision and clarity of these thoughts. It’s so much better than most of the discourse.
I've seen some pretty amazing stuff in the last six months done with #AI#AIArt . Anyone out there discussing or better yet, using #NeRF in production? I'm looking for people doing cool things like https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/ but using #NeRF.
Weltraumkatzen "malen" mit #AdobeFirefly. Schwups sind ein paar Stunden um. Ich hab aber nicht nur Katzen, sondern auch viele Grafiken mit anderen Motiven erstellt, #DerADBPodcast braucht frische Bilder. am meisten Spaß machten natürlich die Katzen! 🎨😻#KI#AIArt
My heart is breaking a little rn. My favorite dev that made mobile games, #Rayark, is replacing their artists with #AIArt. I fricking love Deemo and Sdorica, and am so upset rn. There’s also apparently hiring AI art designers. I hate this. Fuck AI “art.”
Creating art is taking a little piece of your soul and putting it into a tangible form that others can experience, which is why AI-generated art misses the point.
Can AI make aesthetically-pleasing shit? Of course! Based on the output of thousands of human artists over hundreds of years.
But when you ask it to make something entirely new, even based on very specific directions, or even just the random roulette of gibberish commands, it STILL has to rely on and copy human artists.
AI has no framework to know if what it's creating is GOOD, or even accurate, b/c it has no preferences regarding taste or accuracy--which are so subjective when it comes to creativity.
The argument that "humans also reference/train on others' art in order to make their own, AI just does it faster and more efficiently" is not accurate, since AI is NOT processing that art and filtering it through its own subjective framework (the soul as defined above) to create a new work to express that individual's particular ideas and emotions.
This wowed me. Prompt was "an eldritch creature under the sea" and it came up with a #lovecraftian spin on "Howls Moving Castle."
