This image of Batman was completely generated by an AI called Dalle 2. This tech is limited access for now but do you think that AI art will wipe out artists in the industry? Why pay that comic artist some money for a cover when the AI can make one very fast at a low cost? I'm so cynical that I can see corps like Disney adopting this without a second thought. And its only a matter of time until animation gets automated too
maybe in the future. we're not there yet.
This is the subreddit for all the art generated by dalle 2. This shit is freakishly good and it's improving at a fast rate. I've messed with other AI art generators and it does not compare to this. I think it's a cool novelty but the idea that AI art could dominate the industry feels so fucking soulless

Completely AI. Pic rel was all dalle 2. Concept artists btfo
OpenAi is concerned about people using the tech to make illicit porn so you can't make it
>Concerned about people making porn
I mean, there's no way to avoid this in the long run
They are just afraid that it will be used against them.
I've seen it already and I was surprised as well, but still, we're not there yet.
With animals, we're there. People are hard though since people look completely different sometimes even if they are directly related
Fairly certain Dall E is handicapping face generation intentionally. Devs have expressed concerns about 2 being used to generate lifelike depictions of people. Remains to be seenif they won't handicap it too for public consumption.
I’m sure just making any old porn isn’t the problem, they’re probably worried about people making porn of real individuals without consent. It would be especially bad if the person was underaged.
They’re good as illustrations but I doubt they can keep this quality in comic or animation.
that would require samples anyway, which they I'm sure they don't have.
Cool Bionicle bull
that's a buffalo bigot
Aren't male buffalo bulls?
Yes. It's ackhtually a bison though, buffalo is technically incorrect. They don't have the same sexual dimorphism as many bovines do, so in effect you're assuming it's gender. That's the joke. Please clap.
honestly i think it be a good concept art generator. shit you can type in for ideas you have and stuff and touch up on later
Yeah, seems like it can work really well for planning characters/machines/environments or color keys. Concept artists already use photobashing techniques (photographs, CG renders and painted stuff used together as a combination) to make their work faster. This AI can help speed up the process even more. And even writers can use it without needing a concept artist to illustrate an idea they're thinking of.
I've been using it as a dnd game for paintings.
basically if the players loot a manor or get treasure I can show them the surreal images and it's just part of the art world in my setting
I give it 5-10 years. Dall-e mini can already churn out fapworthy pics in a few minutes.
>Dall-e mini
>fapworthy
Only on /co/...
>This tech is limited access for now but do you think that AI art will wipe out artists in the industry?
We can only hope. Once this is available to the public /co/ can make their own stories with official looking art kek
By the time the tech is advanced enough well either be dead or too old
You're already too old to be watching cartoons.
Dall E 2 is incredibly impressive but is incapable of replacing human artists. At best its commercial applications would be limited to reference generation.
>Available to the public
The really impressive AI systems like Dall E 2 and LaMDA and others require large amounts of GPU time to function, it's not going to be available on anything less than a proper vfx workbench
Dalle has plans to release in summer. And advances will make it more widespread
What does trending at BOT mean, anon? And idk, knowing the greed of corps, they'll find a way to have it both ways. But this is reassuring too.

Well they can't have it both ways. In fact, giving "rights to software" - whatever that means - would mean they wouldn't be able to just "exploit code" for "slave labor".
It just doesn't makes any sense, legally.
Completely-completely AI or did somebody touch up a decent-ish AI result with Photoshop?
>DALL-E 2
I'll go with fully AI, the first version already shitted out uncanny results when making photorealistic objects. The ai apparently can understand arstyles and even time periods.
>Will a machine replace a person that will whine about workplace conditions, demand more money, call off sick, ect
You should honestly know the answer to this one
>Those scratches near the eye
What's up with DALL-E (and image generators in general) and eyes? The samples they gave for the previous version also had a tendency for eye issues, be it cross-eyed, melting eyes, etc.
Eyes are more precise than general body shape and shit I guess, more room for error
Its the machines overemphasizing cute/watery eyes for the sake of sympathy.
>do you think that AI art will wipe out artists in the industry?
that implies there's an industry for artists
DALL-E 2 cheats by generating one image and then repeatedly diffusing it to upscale it to HD, without dealing with the limitations of ESRGAN
The issue with this is that, while this looks perfectly fine...
Then it gets upscaled, and you get shit like that fucking arm, the electric razor in the pencil holder
WITH THIS BEING SAID
DALL-E 2 is actually only the 2nd best image generation option
The best option for generating images is actually the Russian ruDALL-E (technically the best version of ruDALL-E is one being worked on by a Discord group rather than the biggest bank of Russia)
And while it has its downsides compared to DALL-E mini, as the guy working on "better ruDALL-E" has told me
>rudalle is decoder only transformer, that fuses image and text inside common layers; like was in original dalle-1 by openai
>dalle-mini has another encoder-decoder architecture with separated text encoder bart;
EVEN WITH THIS
Because someone made a colab for finetuning ruDALL-E on one's own images and then someone else figured out how to get it to look at the ruDALL-E dataset + the custom images
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1gr0dSCcFH_hYjbAPuThwAxbA1T8DD1Od?usp=sharing
ruDALL-E has become the state of the fucking art for AI, and everyone's a fucking FOOL to not give it the time of day

Don't AI programs like this rely on existing art?
No different than how artists get inspired from other artists
Actual retard. An artist inspired by a pose doesn't compare to using an existing drawing, then smearing some paint on it to make what is essentially a trace. You will never get something more unique. You will always need an artist to tune up the image because things are unreadable and at times the anatomy is nonsensical.
You will only get a few angles and the faces look horrifying.
>using an existing drawing, then smearing some paint on it to make what is essentially a trace
Yeah, because there was dozens of pics of bears being mad scientists on the web...
Nope, one of the first shits they say in their content policy, I thought copyrighted stuff was also off the table
Sub-ape IQ post
Yea. They're also a bitch to work with at the moment, especially if you want specific angles and stuff. I could see them working as an auxiliary tool but not as a main tool at the moment. There was a woman who made a children's book for her son and she used other tech as well and was talking about how hard it was at times, and we're talking about a one image every two pages kind of book, not a comic book.
Looks like shit.
It tends to make 3d renders look better than 2d but that still puts 3d artists under the possibility of getting replaced
The bizarre thing is both DALL-E 2 and dall-e mini understand 2D characters better when it has to draw them in a different art style
Damn, Neutron hit the wall hard.
And these ones are from...?
the non-public DALL-E 2.
DC/Marvel already did it with that whole "let's just trace over 3D models, lol" way back in 2009
AI animation would be the best thing to happen to the industry since as it is right now, it's extremely expensive. If you have an AI doing all of the leg work, sky is the limit
I can see that happening for cgi, not so much 2d.
The devs of dalle 2 made sure that you can't generate a realistic image of people, but you can make it look stylized. But eventually, someone will make a widely available tool with 0 restriction. There's a lot of ethical debate and legally, I can see the government lagging behind trying to regulate it
To replace artists with an ai it needs to be able to produce images that consistently look like the things they are meant to look like while maintaining a consistent style, and are capable of accepting basic instructions about framing, perspective, composition etc. It also has to be able to do this with a fairly high rate of success. If you need to spend hours re-running the program and tweaking the wording to produce a single acceptable panel then it's not going to be a very helpful tool. Dalle currently can't do any of these things.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/comments/vcs4j9/one_of_these_things_is_not_like_the_others/
This is too much power for one program
The possible saving grace is that corps can't legally use the images. Dalle is not for commercial use. And it begs the question of who would they credit? And the AI is being fed images of art made by real people. Could the makers of the art take action? I don't fucking know tbh, this shit has been overwhelming my brain
>Smashing images from Google together and blurring them
Yawn.
>The Terminator is a piece of fiction, humans are never gonna get repla-
You only need to be worried about being replaced at your job because you live in a nation that views your job as your value.
Imagine a world where the planet's resources are applied so that simply by virtue of existing you have a roof over your head, plentiful food, and medical care.
You're free to lie around and do nothing productive if you wish, but you're also free to contribute. Are you an artist? A musician? A baker? You have the time and energy to find out, and if it turns out you suck at what you try, you don't need to worry that you'll starve or lose your home.
>You're free to lie around and do nothing productive if you wish
Humanity would literally fucking go insane. Literally look at our modern society and it's hedonism - look at the 4th generation kids of rich fuckers.
Do you think our society can work without work? People would be literally devolving into dark-eldar tier garbage within a single generation. It would literally make megacity one come to real life, except this time, without the judges.
Some people, maybe. I think most people would find something productive to do with their time. People want to work on things, and a better world would let people work on passions without having to fear starvation.
>Some people, maybe
>Some
You'fe being way to hopeful here, dude. Most people would become far lazier as a result of this.
A lot of those would eventually get bored, but even if they didn't, what would it matter? The achievers would be free to achieve, and the rest would be free to relax.
And eventually, the relaxers would realize their lives are effectively worthless without sort of drive. And even the achievers would start to realize they are dime a dozen, and if one quit, nothing would really be lost as another would take their place. They'd learn they're an easily replaceable medium. This world of yours is unrealistic to how humans would actually act if it became a reality. It feels like it was made some naive kid.
>And eventually, the relaxers would realize their lives are effectively worthless without sort of drive.
Thus they either work on a passion or kill themselves.
>And even the achievers would start to realize they are dime a dozen, and if one quit, nothing would really be lost as another would take their place. They'd learn they're an easily replaceable medium.
You base this claim on nothing at all.
>This world of yours is unrealistic to how humans would actually act if it became a reality. It feels like it was made some naive kid.
Your pessimism and misanthropy doesn't make optimists naive, anon. It's a shame you're so bitter.
>Thus they either work on a passion or kill themselves.
And how does this disprove my original stance? You just admitted it was right. These people would realize their lives are effectively worthless without any real incentive or motive.
>You base this claim on nothing at all.
People tend to put in more effort into things to get into higher places or have higher pay in their jobs. However, if there were enormous amount of more people working, enough to make our own look laughably miniscule, Most people would need to work their ass off 24/7 (which would cut into their personal lives depending on how far they take it), against many others who want the same thing if they ever wanted any acknowledgement by their superiors. And when they do make it, there are still a shit tons of others just as hardworking or talented as them in their new promotions they would need to compete with. A good half of them might not be able to keep up with the other half, and a good amount of others (anywhere in the job, really) might end up putting much less effort into their own work knowing they might never catch up, and that there are a good amount of people who will always manage to surpass them. This would become a problem with the mass influx of achievers.
>Your pessimism and misanthropy doesn't make optimists naive, anon. It's a shame you're so bitter.
You seem to have no grasp of what these concepts truly mean if you're using this to describe my criticisms of your ideas. Thinking things out logically and determining how they work out in the long run, doesn't equal either of things. If anything, optimists who act like you seem to cross into the "willingly stupid and ignorant" area to try and justify their own hopes, ignoring how flawed some of them might be when in practice. Sorry if having basic common sense equals "being bitter" to you.
>People tend to [insert shlomo-shekelstein's work slavery brainwashing]
i accept your concession.
>Literally has no comeback but "lalalalalala I can't here you I'm right and you're wrong!"
How laughable. Then again, Marx did breed a lot of idiotic clowns with heads up their asses, so this is to be expected really.
>These people would realize their lives are effectively worthless without any real incentive or motive.
a symptom of atheism
>living your life for a man in the sky
yikes
>look at the 4th generation kids of rich fuckers.
Their wealth does more than free them from the necessity of work, though: it gives them absurd amounts of power over others. That's the part that corrupts them.
>Do you think our society can work without work?
I think the species can, but you could incentivize work by offering luxuries.
>inb4 "how is that different from now?"
The difference is removing suffering and death as penalties for non-participation or failure. Some people would absolutely sit around jackin' it 24/7, but most would chase their dreams.
The reason children of rich fuckers go insane is because they have immense power over the livelihoods of other people. It quite literally deadens their empathy.
A theoretical world where our resources were managed non-retardedly by those in charge would still be hedonistic yes, but in the same way the Culture is hedonistic.
You're imagining a world that will never exist so long as limited resources exist. Even robots can't fix everything.
We have far more resources than we let ourselves think. The US has been destroying food for decades to keep grocery prices from tanking, and has more empty houses than homeless people.
The world I'm talking of would have an upper population cap, absolutely, but we haven't hit it yet.
>US destroys food
No we don't we literally have a law (Penned by FDR the gay) That makes it illegal for farmer to grow extra produce for themselves. More empty houses than homeless people is a misonmer, Housing supply depends entirely on where you live and states with a big housing crunch tend to have more homeless people, said homesless are retards that want to continue living in a state where housing is in short supply.. We don't live in a world of unlimited resources and I definitely don't like the idea of someone being allowed to subsist just for existing. Even Marx said those who don't work, don't eat
>homeless
Not him, but a lot of them also don't take up homeless housing or shelter programs because they'd have to get clean. Others are too far gone mentally from decades of alcohol and drug abuse. It doesn't help that some states give up and encourage their addiction which keeps the numbers higher than they need to be. But generally the United States has plenty of programs. If someone gets into one and stays clean they can be on a road to recovery.
You're talking about a post-scarcity society, which isn't going to happen just by automating everything.
>Are you an artist? A musician? A baker?
All automated. The point of your existence is to consume what the AI make for you.
>Dur dur this time we will replace x y z #
Remind me again how mtf and ftm trannies were supposed to replace real women and men or how they tried to make enby a thing that said "future isn't male or female?
The world isn't gonna change because an AI is able to make photoshops, Wumbo Dream got shilled as much as this and changed absolutely fucking nothing.
You can't change nature, and the nature of man is to draw with his hands
Even if it was possible financially or technically, it would not be allowed, legally.
Plain and simple, artists will keep existing.
AI cannot make copyrightable "art", it's just that simple.
And nobody but coders would want to change that reality.
Unless they manage to force their will on literally everybody else, this will never change.
>1/2
Hello. I do not usually post here, but this thread got trending at BOT.
I do 3D art and I would like to say somethings about AI right now.
Indeed, AI has advanced far faster than we've thought and it is indeed reaching a point in which artists wouldn't be needed anymore.
With just a little exception, of course:
>https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/us-copyright-office-rules-ai-art-cant-be-copyrighted-180979808/
If A.I art does indeed becomes used by companies, it will leave them in a very bad spot, financially: their work and whatever they do, will have to become some sort of "Free for All" copyright.
It wouldn't even be considered Creative Commons, as those can't be used commercially and you have to give credit to the original creator.
In the case of A.I, it wouldn't even get to that case.
>Basically, you can't sell products or intellectual property made with A.I. At all.
Therefore, there will not be financial incentive for anyone to use A.I at all. Unless artists use A.I as a "base" for creating work and then "editing" on top of that.
That, though, is in a way still a form of "plagiarism", as an A.I made the original work on the first place. In theory, it wouldn't even be possible to use A.I at all in a work environment.
Now, will that stop the usage and advancement of A.I? Probably not, but that doesn't means it can be used by companies, at all.
>It simply makes them get into a very dangerous legal "limbo" of some sort. People could literally pirate or even sell their products unpunished.
"Very well, Sigma. This makes sense currently, but what if they change the laws?"
Now that is a very good question! If laws are changed and they allow A.I work to be copyrightable, then the rights go to the A.I in itself. A.I do not have rights, cannot sign contracts and do not have any protection under the law.
Most likely, laws will not change and A.I will keep making material which isn't copyrightable.
>2/2
In the end, what is more likely to happen, then?
Corporations, companies and citizens are the ones whom currently decide what goes into law and what doesn't, by lobbying, political pressure or sheer voting.
In reality, A.I having "rights" wouldn't benefit any of those group types.
Therefore:
TL;DR - It is a very good tool to have. But it won't allow you to have any rights on such works.
Probably will stay at meme sphere forever, such as Dall-E Mini we have today, for example.
Btw I make gay porn 3D art so if you want to see something respond and upvote this post and I’ll make it for free
I will pass, no thanks. Good luck with your endeavors, though.
It is A.I though, which means some thing came up with the overall idea for the "artwork".
But yes, nobody would like to give rights to, say, photoshop or Clipart or Krita or something like that.
It also makes no sense whatsoever.
That's why A.I making art would likely be just what it is: a literal meme factory.
No, it's not. It is artificial, but it is not intelligent.
Yeah, but those are just semantics.
I just use A.I because that's what people say, I guess.
It's not semantics it's just factually incorrect. You can use whatever term you like, I'll just correct you when I see that you're wrong.
Ok, then what term should I use, instead?
t. I don't know anything about AI in technical terms, just speculating about it's effects on society.
This specifically is a neural network.
it could be good to generate ideas.
Yeah that's probably where AI will be used to, honestly.
Shut the fuck up namegay.
Also
>Most likely, laws will not change and A.I will keep making material which isn't copyrightable.
It's not AI. Giving software property rights though is the first step toward them becoming people in the legal sense and that's not really in anyone's interest.
>It wouldn't even be considered Creative Commons, as those can't be used commercially and you have to give credit to the original creator.
Creative Commons can be used commercially, except for the Creative Commons non-commercial license.
I don't think it would be hard to have some legal loop hole, such as inserting a man made render on each frame of a ai generated animation, perhaps even just a few pixel wide watermark and then they copyright that where technically the rest of the image isn't copyrighted, but no one could legally share the film without removing those elements, which wouldn't be publicly known perhaps. Actually they wouldn't need to even do that, as the voice acting and music is copyrighted, so while someone might be able to legally share a AI movie but not the sound, and removing the sound could be made illegal.
Sigma balls bro heheh gottem
lmao ayyyy
>And its only a matter of time until animation gets automated too
I'd imagine it'll look like this
I'm not sure how it would as animation requires many frames in with characters in very specific poses in order to make sense. Hell, even for comic books, unless you want things to be boring needs to have more than just a close up on a character's face. I'm also not sure how this AI accounts for different art styles, as those can be a major draw for a lot of people. Over all, I think AI will become a tool that artists use, but not something that replaces artists per se.
this. I can see artists feeding vague ideas/art into it and getting some interesting results back that they'd never consider on their own. ultimately art needs a human touch though.
I see no problem, especially since animators are worked to death and most people pirate it anyway. let's make machines do all our work so we can lounge around, like our distant ancestors did.
We'll see threads about people mixing shows or making their crack ships.
At least the creators are excluding the porn possibility or all those twitter artists would starve.
good point. I've seen very mediocre porn artists that somehow make a decent living.
God I hope so, artists want a fucking ridiculous amount of money for a commission.
How dare they get paid for their time.
Can it do porn, specifically taboo stuff? If. it can it's over NSFW artist community.
Yes, but devs are hacks so they have an auto censored and anti-explicit function. Once it's public, infinite porn is possible.
I can see why they decided to ban it. AI generated porn of drawn characters isn't that big a deal, but if it can generate photorealistic art then that opens up the possibility of making deep fake porn of real people without their permission, which is a gigantic can of worms that no one wants to open. That said, its basically inevitable if the technology continues to spread. Someone will eventually do it.
AI can eventually be a good source of references to inspire people's own art.
>do you think that AI art will wipe out artists in the industry?
Dalle can't draw porn though.
Depends on the scale, Dalle still needs a lot of trial and error to make something decent and even then it could take many tries to get the image you want just like you requested it.
That being said I could see a transitional period where an AI is used as a sort of tool so artist can sketch something and the computer does the inking and coloring. It would definitely remove some jobs from the industry but I doubt it would completely replace artist.
>AI is used as a sort of tool so artist can sketch something and the computer does the inking and coloring.
There's already an auto-painter AI tool called Style2Paints that assists lineart the artist has drawn, giving it unique digital art quality coloring without the artist having to know anything about digital painting, while preserving the soul of the drawing without bastardizing it.
I told you bros going to school for art is a waste of time and money. Should have gone for engineering or learned a trade.
I can draw what I imagine. That's something much more valuable to me than engineering or learning a trade.
I can too, but starving artists is the reality for most artists.
can it draw porn and how good is it with weird fetishes?
Not while the testing goes on
>violent
To what degree are we talking here? If I typed say Omni-man fights Superman would I get banned?
rudall-e/looking glass can according to /tfg/
It will be very hard to teach an AI all the subtleties you may want to convey in a single panel of a comic - the specific expression a character makes, maybe a hand single they slyly make, or even just the reflection of something in their eye.
Cope
Just depends on the language model. Dall E isn't super sophisticated in that respect.
>can’t make porn
Guess I still need to learn how to draw then fuck
I already knew that today's animation workers in Los Angeles are very weak and will be easily outclassed by AIs even if they need to be heavily managed to get a natural result at first. Artists, people who are creative and can ride the wave will continue forth into this future oh, people who already make art like low quality robots will be forgotten in the past
So. Should I bother becoming an artist or is it over.
>tfw mogged by a computer
I think it’ll take a few more years till it can replace 2D art
But I'm young. If I was near retirement age, I wouldn't give a shit
I'd say still try for now. It's going to take at least another couple decades before this reaches the point where it threatens the livelihoods of 2D artists.

So what's the link to use this?
Why do people want artists to be replaced?
I get for efficiency, but it lacks soul at best and at worse, it doesn't matter since art was always made for passionate people just wanting to have fun creating stuff.
People used to build but now machines do that. That doesn't stop builders from building, since they just like to do that as a hobby anyways. So I don't get this fearmongering for artists.
>Why do people want artists to be replaced?
Politics.
It's literally jealousy. This is a board full of people who think that they could make the best cartoon or comic ever if only they could draw, but they don't want to put in the time to learn.
So instead they just hate artists.
>but it lacks soul
Soul doesn't get the bills paid.
Efficiency doesn't produce a culture worth having.
But if people are replaced by machines they don't get paid either. Where does it stop? Almost any job can be assumed by a machine now or in the future, but if we put machines everywhere eventually everyone will be out of jobs.
This would be the idea situation, less work and you still get paid, but that is not reality works, the old Black and White movie metropolis got it right, there they had this giant machine that did most of the work but even then the one person that had to operate the machine was overworked to death.
How the fuck have we advanced so little that Metropolis is still relevant?
Because technology doesn't fundamentally change human nature or make people smarter. We have more knowledge, and better knowledge available to us compared to the ancients, but our actual ability to make good decisions isn't really any better than the ancient Greeks.
We seem to move in circles.
Machines don't complain, machines don't spend all their time on social media.
If you know people working in the industry they are aware of this and are intentionally hoarding wealth now because even they aren't optimistic about what happens after

Lol.
Fucking anime drawers are literal shitheads.
AI will never do what a human does because it needs a reference. It cannot capture nuance or make a completely original image or capture life.
Anyone who thinks AI is better than humans and deserves to be destroyed by AI and low IQ on par with a dumb machine/computer.
To be honest, this anon here pointed to what will happen most likely.
Legally speaking, an AI takeover of art fields just won't happen at all.
I do believe meme culture will do change, though.
Until normies realize 4chan will - as always - co-opt AI for their usage.
Legally, as things stand now, there's not a lot anyone can do to prevent future AI or even far less complex algorithms etc. from eventually achieving legal personhood. All that has to happen is someone names one as a business partner in an LLC and it will have acquired the most basic of property rights and some similitude of personhood that would entitle it further rights and enable it to confer that same status onto all sorts other "AI"s etc. It doesn't have to be very intelligent or necessarily conscious or aware at all for that to happen.
Fucking retard, I could name my canary, or toaster a business partner, and I'd be committing fraud, not granting it human rights, dumbass.
Namecalling is not, has never been and will never be an argument. There's no dignity in losing the argument like that.
>Namecalling is not, has never been and will never be an argument.
I proved you wrong in addition, fucking gay.
You didn't.
Putting false information into a LLC form is fraud gay, you are too retarded I guess to understand that.
None of what you said is relevant. 0/3.
You're not right just because you got insulted, either. Assholes can be right too, anon.
This anon here
is correct.
Companies, corporations and organizations have such rights because they're composed of people who work for them.
Not to mention the U.S government could very easily squish their little profits and stocks with regulation, if they tried doing that.
So in reality that would not work, I am afraid.
You can't name an inanimate object as a business partner. Business owners must be recognizable as persons under the law, because that's what a business contract is, a legal agreement between two persons. If I make a contract with a dog it doesn't matter whether or not the dog signs it, it's not a legally binding contract. Because dogs are, by definition, not able to make legally binding contracts.
Personhood works by whitelisting, not blacklisting. You define what IS a person, and then exclude everything that doesn't match that definition. The Air Bud play doesn't work here.
the pic in op isn't one of the touch ups though. look at the "touched up" versions in that pic, and compare it to the OP. the OP picture also still has the dalle2 watermark in the bottom right, while that twitter guy removed it in his updated versions.

Hello BOTners, I come from Reddit after seeing an image of this thread posted on a subreddit I usually occupy. In response to your question, I do think AI will wipe out artists (no offense to artists). But AI is getting suprisingly good at replicating art so it only makes sense to me that the next big leap would be having an AI that's able to do prompts with zero issues and generate art that would look like a human made it. I would not be surprised if the future consisted of total automation from AI and machines.
Why can't you stay in Reddit and post your drivel there
I actually hate Reddit.
Honestly speaking, I find easier to use BOT than Reddit.
Also, nobody has the right to tell anyone what they can say online and Reddit has plenty of those types around that cesspool.
I prefer autists calling me the n-word all day long, thank you.
there's probably more censorship and ostracizing here though. ironically.
No, there isn't.
BOT isn't perfect - far from it - but it does the job.
Reddit doesn't do anything. Heck, it's least valuable social media website out there.
AI has a moe bias, I see.

All these """artists""" bitching have no creativity and can't see that AI is a groundbreaking tool. Imagine the kind of shit the greats could make with this if they understood how to guide the AI. Of course AI will make fanart better than you, it wasn't like YOU were making something original in the first place.
>Imagine the kind of shit the greats could make with this
The greats aren't making it, AI is
>Of course AI will make fanart better than you, it wasn't like YOU were making something original in the first place.

Oh my god an AI is gonna generate porn for me. I'm gonna be rich like those YCH furgays
I hate YCHs so much
I think that "full" automation is unlikely for a long time, as AI won't be able to cobble coherent or interesting stories together. Automation with a human component making thumbnail sketches/storyboards is much more likely for comics and animation. For example, someone draws rough sketches showing the composition and action in each panel, or keyframes for animation, and then the AI will read and interpret the sketches along with its other inputs to create much more detailed artwork/animation than a person could do in the same amount of time. An "animator" in the U.S. under this probably won't look too much different than the ones now, as their main purpose will be laying out a story. However, outsourced Koreans will be largely replaced.
While it's easy to see big corps going for this sort of thing, automation could also be a boon to smaller scale production companies or even amateurs who might be "idea people" but lacking in talent. All this depends on how affordable access to said AI programs and the necessary hardware is, of course. Chances are you'd be looking at a hefty subscription for access to the good ones.
So I don't think it's so cut and dry. For the time being humans will still prefer stories written by other humans, even if they get help on the art. Meanwhile, artists for trading card and tabletop games probably get chucked in the dumpster.
>even amateurs who might be "idea people" but lacking in talent
/co/, your call! You might finish a fucking project for once!
All depends on whether the software can be pirated.

Oh noooo! You might be unable to get a job in an entire art field because of some sort of circumstances? Wow bro, that's sad. Anyway, can't wait to apply to Disney with my 2D animation reel.
Don't Calarts grads apply to disney with a 2d reel?
Honestly, I feel like there will be a day when the powers that be find a way to permanently remove things online. I couldn't imagine the internet becoming what it is today all those years ago and it's going to get worse
Just another turn on the death spiral that is (garden gnome-controlled) Human society. Nothing to see here.
I imagine they could develop this further as a fine tooled program for comic book artists, filmmakers, and story board artists, where AI generated characters and locations can be saved and used multiple times, and viewing angles can be specified.
I've looked for examples of people specifying angles in these Dall E images and havent found many.
Most people are unaware of how much current comics are *already* automated. The devs for DALLE should have asked what sorts of additional tools artists actually wanted and how to incorporate them into existing toolsets.
>calling it souless
but we dont even support people with their own artstyles in the current decade and whatever artist gets super popular people will just try to copy that on top of whatever mega corp suits want everyone to normalize (calarts is real but its not the artist's fault and yet people blame the artist). for the most part ai determining randomly created artstyles would be okay if it mean suits would actually push more artstyles outside of the 3-4 and the rare few that are allowed to project their unique art styles flop or not.
I'll watch it if its animated by Yoh Yoshinari
i doubt it, honestly:
>ITT, people who don’t understand AI
Artists becoming ‘obsolete’ from this is not important whatsoever. The main takeaway from this is that AI is becoming really good really fast. The Dalle Mini images everyone is posting on the internet are literal trash compared to Dalle 2, and they’re only separated by one year of work. AI will continually get better at faster speeds, and this year, particularly the last 6 months, have seen many break throughs in AI and Machine Learning being made.
The problem with this is that it’s too fast, and at the rate that progress is being made, in a few dozen years AI will be better at doing the things it is generally designed for than the entirety of humanity put together. Once it gets to this threshold, it will be smart enough to upgrade itself exponentially. If it is not aligned towards human goals, we will literally have no way of stopping it (since it’s more intelligent and capable than the entirety of our species put together), and therefore we all die.
Read this: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uMQ3cqWDPHhjtiesc/agi-ruin-a-list-of-lethalities
A list of a few dozen reasons why AI, when sufficiently intelligent, will kill you. The only way to solve this is to make the AI aligned in a certain way where we can use it in order to stop other people from making un-aligned AIs through some ‘pivotal act’. This isn’t going to happen at our current rate, and the probability of us making an aligned AI, using that aligned AI to produce a pivotal act, and that pivotal act stopping others from making non-aligned AI, is around 0%.
TL;DR it’s over. Art doesn’t matter when everyone else is dead.
don't worry, if i know from tay a.i, it's that this tragedy can be postponed long enough for the rest of us to live life naturally

I used to think that there are some tasks where computers can't surpass humans. Back in the early 2000s online text translations were unreliable, text-to-speech was awful, and speech-to-text sounded like a scifi movie concept. I'm amazed at how rapidly all that tech has progressed during the last 20-ish years. For example Youtube captions used to be laughable only a decade ago, but these days they're sometimes better at deciphering rapid/accented speech than I am.
These kinds of AIs that generate images are getting really good too. I don't know whether to find it cool or scary. It's neat to see what sorts of results these AIs are getting, but at the same time it reminds me of this old Youtube video "Humans need not apply". The video argued that humans are making themselves obsolete and purposeless by creating robots and AIs that are superior to us.
Also, sometimes I can't help thinking about all the scifi movies where sufficiently intelligent computers turn out to have different priorities than humans, and things end badly.
That's pretty much what the simulation theory proposes. And the core idea is fairly indistinguishable from what various religions and philosophers suggested centuries ago. They just didn't use modern lingo because it didn't exist yet. So instead of a programmer typing code in order to create an artificial intelligence, it was seen as god creating the mankind in his image. And instead of comparing our perception of the world to a digital Matrix-like simulation, it was compared to Plato's allegory about a bunch of shadows on the wall.
How long until human brains can be made into artificial artificial intelligences by hooking them up to computers full time?

Sorry, I'm still in the self-insert phase.
This is part of the reason why the porn is banned and why deepfakes have been getting regulated. The average person doesn't want some random to have an ai make realistic porn of them.
We just need to get the fact that finding porn of random people are simply fake unless absolutely proven otherwise.

"If you’re worried about being replaced by a (robot), you’re not bringing that much to the table in the first place" -Whitney Cummings
It's more that when anyone brings anything new and talented to the table now, the masters of the house just push it off the table.
What kinds of jobs do you imagine are entirely safe from automation or artificial intelligence, though? If our current tech can actually emulate art and creativity, what tasks are there still left where machines can never replace humans? Maybe programming or machine maintenance, unless if someone creates self-learning robots that focus on those tasks? I think there's a real possibility that all of us are going to become kinda useless as our technology advances.
>What kinds of jobs do you imagine are entirely safe from automation or artificial intelligence, though?
The ones where the person who makes the decision needs to hold legal responsibility for the consequences of his actions. Everything else can in theory be automatised. T. other anon.
>The possible saving grace is that corps can't legally use the images.
It is not keeping the corps from buying the code or making their own, and then just use it with the selected libraries of art that they have legal access to.
I think plumber and that kind of jobs will be safe the longest.
anything that'd be too expensive to create specialized robots for or not worth the insurance cost.
>do you think that AI art will wipe out artists in the industry?
Yes, if it's already this good then imagine it in 10+ years, I feel bad for artists tbh.
I'm an artist, and I see value in this tool as a sort of aid to artists. I can draw and animate, but I'm not great at character designing.
If I use this AI to design characters for me, and I animate them, I'm not being replaced. At least, until they make an AI that can animate cartoon characters in a fantastic way.
Anyway, I'm more optimistic as an artist.
>until they make an AI that can animate cartoon characters in a fantastic way
Hey Mr. Musk, check this anon's idea!
Well that just guarantees it will never get made if ol Musky picks it up.
I'm actually not afraid of anyone creating an AI like this since animation is already difficult and tedious for humans, and AI already struggle to depict intricate things. Let me explain, but first I'll set the scene a bit:
I'm primarily a 3D artist, and AI makes 3D renders that blow all of my work out of the water. I included an example of my work here.
While an AI can easily make a render that's better than mine, I still created and retopologized a 3D character for cartooning.
Now, to compete with me, that AI would have to render out each frame of animation without distorting the character into absolute horror. The character has to stay completely on model as well as the background and such for the animation to be pleasing.
I can do that right this second. In fact, I am doing that for my youtube channel. When AI can do that, then I'll consider my work in danger, but I just don't think that's likely with the technology now.
Isn't it just a matter of time and development? AI may not be there yet, but how long until it will be? Computers are already capable of doing things that seemed impossible not that many years ago, there's been some rapid advancement on these kinds of things.
Yeah, I mentioned how its just a matter of time, but I don't think we'll see it gain any ground for a long time. By then, any 3D artist will have the tools to compete head to head with the AI.
I just think that, if a complete amature solo artist like me can already put up a good fight with AI due to its limitations, what happens when we both mature? Computers will always have a limitation, like known margins of errors or issues that may even require human hands to fix. It just don't think its as bleak as others are making it out to be.
I already told you I'm planning on using AI to help with my character design, so that tells you I'm forecasting people beating the machines.
>I just think that, if a complete amature solo artist like me can already put up a good fight with AI due to its limitations, what happens when we both mature?
Humans improve lineally, AI's improve exponentially. No human will put up a "good" fight, it won't be a fight at all, we just lose.
You're thinking in terms of raw ability, but I meant in terms of recognition or fans willing to chuck money at the artist. You could have an AI that could create 50 masterpieces a minute, but would it matter if I was the more known artist.
Do you really think normies are going to go to the well known guy who can only make one cool image every few days, or the AI that makes 5000 cool images a month?
Yeah, actually. Normies always do shit for name value. Look at stuff like Supreme which is literally just the word "supreme" written on random stuff.
>Normies always do shit for name value
And you really think that corporations, the ones who can afford top of the line AIs won't build a brand around them?
I didn't say the corpos couldn't, but that doesn't mean the average artist can't do the same. Really, we've been having this debate about corporate brands and art for decades. AIs just make it feel more cyber punky.
>but that doesn't mean the average artist can't do the same
It does when the average artist can't afford to run, and the ones you could run on your own hardware aren't going to be as capable as a copros multi million dollar server.
Turn the artists into cyborgs that can't eat, drink, or shit. They won't even need to sleep.
>my youtube channel.
Can you share your channel? I'm a 3D artist as well, and plan on using AI generated backgrounds in my work, but I think AI will be a tool, for several years, maybe a decade before it replaces artists entirely.
Its going to kill stock graphics market off the bat
the its going to kill graphic designers if it can vector text
then its going to kill animators there is an a.i tool
anyone can do your job now and thats the problem
I already mentioned why I don't think this will work just yet in the post above. Basically, while this AI is pretty cool, it just has some issues that conventional animation doesn't.
You can even see at like 7 seconds into the video, the painting that they're suing over the existing video footage gets distorted strangely. I don't have that problem with my work, and I think it will be a while before they have an AI that doesn't have this issue.
Also
>anyone can do your job now and thats the problem
You're way over selling it. If I challenged you to make an AI animation of a man walking down the street, you'd get yours out faster than me, but you're likely to have insane issues with it. Mine may take a bit longer, but I won't have these issues. As it is now, the only way to avoid AI fucking your work up is to only use AI as an aid and not as your main tool.
at the moment when current a.i is on the market anyone will be able to just do the monkey work which you are suggesting
if the a.i doesnt do it all and kill your job the entire flood of people with access to it will making it a rat race
I think the beauty of art is that there is no "rat race" as long as you're creative. When the Super AI is making "generic bat man fights the generic joker" for the 50th time, individuals like me will be making things for our own respective audiences.
Even if AI could, in theory, perfectly make 3D models for people to use, I think you'll find an issue where AI generated 3D models look sorta generic, and at that point it would take an artist to make a generic 3D model look better. I actually look forward to that since it would be a load off my back.
I dont think you have a job or understand whats going on
you just admitted before you are only good at drawing and animating and not good at making characters so said it was a good tool for that and now saying a.i is not creative
Me saying "AI is a good tool for character design, but I don't think it will be good without normal artists. At least for a while" seems like a pretty coherent sentence to me.
Also, I think its fair to say "I don't understand what's going on" because I don't really know how AI works. I'll just say "from what I've seen, I'm not afraid" and leave it at that.
that video is over 2 years old and continues to lean
I still see some of the same issues though. Like the guys mouth looking strange when he's talking. Again, while I think AI can get to that point where I'd be in danger, I just don't think we'll be there for a while.
Also, I think we'll be at a point where there's known limitations for the AI, but people will just go "EHH, good enough!" and launch it with those limitations, you know?
I'm thinking AI animation will be used in that cheap looking South Park style designs and "animation". I still have yet to see someone do it though.
yes but there will be a monkey like you checking key frames until a.i solves it
ebsynth is as powerful as the artist but when something like it is mixed will dalle 2 its game over for you
employers wont care if it takes you 42 hrs in blender an a.i did it better in 42 seconds
>employers wont care if it takes you 42 hrs in blender an a.i did it better in 42 seconds
The AI would have to do it better though. Besides, I already mentioned that conventional media employers may not matter much if artists like me find audiences online. Personally speaking, I don't mind it if I never get hired by DC; I'd just have to see how the online landscape changes thanks to AI generated art.
If I get an audience online, I would still have a lot of potential. I could try to take that audience and get the invested in a show on TV, or just make things online forever and rake in cash.
Again, I want to reiterate that I only mean its possible. Its also possible that I die in a gutter or become that keyframe checking monkey like you say. It would depend on how much it pays though.
EbSynth isn't a AI or ML software. It's just a regular software, like photoshop. AI animation is only a matter of time though, and it will excel at rotoscope or face or full body tracking and replacement type animation at first, but eventually will be able to make original animation.
I feel bad for schizophrenic people because they have no fucking chance when deep fakes become widely known knowledge
Perhaps
Speaking of which, what do you bros think about EBsynth
We're just talking about that a few comments above. In short, I think its amazing, but it has obvious issues that would keep it from completely replacing conventional animation.

non-commercial doesn't ever matter for copyright, you can be sued regardless if it's paid content or giving away free. Those things are obviously too similar to be used. If it was a fully AI generated song, then they couldn't tell you didn't just make it yourself, but legally so far I don't think AI generated content can be copyrighted, so you'd need to claim you made it.
>AAAAAA
>THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME
Unexpected kino.
The optimal life style, if we assume they'll keep humans alive, is unconscious and hooked up to whatever drugs or device that controls our minds to whatever state is most beneficial for the robots. They sure don't need us walking, talking, shitting, laughing, crying and screaming.
I think it sucks that a human vs AI war is inevitable. AI could be a tool that helps humans in an incredible way, but some humans are gonna fuck it up for the rest of us, and we'll either win the war and ban AI or fuckin die.
I'm on the robot's side here, if anything we should start seriously considering robot rights as a thing to prevent another civil war...
The best part is that robots aren't people yet. As long as we don't make them think, we'll never have to think about their rights because they don't have any.
ooooh anon you're going to regret that in 10 years...
It'll happen eventually as we keep designing the robots to start handling more difficult and complex tasks, which will need them to have some form of lateral thinking. We probably won't even realize they're gaining sentience until one day, one suddenly asks if it's alive.

I like this design, it's like anime Adam West Bats, but less campy
To me, it looks like the Christian Bale Dark Knight mask shape, but with a more traditional comic-book suit, but also that Lee Bermejo "bat-insignia-over-cape" thing.
I dunno, still looking really uncanny
Only a human can push the standards and also make art that fits exactly what is being asked for at the same time. Machines are still a decade away from being capable of the same level of nuance and creative quality.
If it becomes usable it will help people who can't draw create something but I doubt AI will ever get good enough to draw animation with detail
I wonder what it'll be like when something like DallE2 gets widespread. Will a 2B ass pic be as interesting once you have an infinite amount of them? What about after a year of unlimited 2B ass pics? Or a decade? I wonder if art will see a bizarre renaissance where original, chicken scratch art with a distinct style will be seen as more valuable than the unlimited ocean of mass produced super art, like soul vs soulless taken to its logical extreme. I'll be happy with unlimited 2B ass either way
