…care to contribute a link to their favorite site for an AI activity? I’d be really interested in seeing what’s out there, but the field is moving and growing so fast and search engines suck so hard that I know I’m missing out.

Cure my FOMO please!

    Hey I got no problem with referencing art, but one should at least give credit for works referenced. Also, the AI isn’t actually sentient, so it’s just a generative algorithm; it’s not actually creatively making derivative works.

    So piracy isn’t I feel a 1:1 comparison. At least in most forms of software piracy, the pirates still leave in the credits/splashscreen/whatever.

        AI as a tool is not what I object to; what I object to is merely using AI to lazily slap together content without actually having creativity be the onus behind it, and then calling it art on the same level of art that does.

        In short, there has to be an artist for something to be art; and for there to be an artist, there must be creativity, which requires sentience. Whether that sentience is from a true AI or a human is irrelevant, as long as it is there. If there is no creativity behind the “art”, then generative AI in this case is not a paintbrush, but an assembly box pumping out bobbles.

            The human actually has to have an idea of what they want? It’s not just pressing a button, wait a bit, and there we go?

            Is that what you’re saying?

            Am I understanding you correctly?

                So you didn’t just say “Draw Stalin as Captain Ahab on the deck of the Pequod”? You actually had to utilize some creativity for how it would actually look?

                    I have many credits to spare this month

                    Credits?

                    give me a prompt

                    Ooh, you shouldn’t have done that. Now I get to have fun. >:3

                    Okay… Draw me Garras from Mass Effect 2 playing Marco Polo with Goku from Dragonball Z, with Princess Peach from Mario & Samus Aran from Metroid doing fisticuffs in the background. Do it in an ukiyo-e style.

                    Ready? Go!!!
