        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.

          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.

        Dalle has plans to release in summer. And advances will make it more widespread

        >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.

        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".

          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 fricking art for AI, and everyone's a fricking FOOL to not give it the time of day

          AI can eventually be a good source of references to inspire people's own art.

        Actual moron. 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.

    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.

      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.

                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.

                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.

          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.

          The reason children of rich frickers go insane is because they have immense power over the livelihoods of other people. It quite literally deadens their empathy.

          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.

            No we don't we literally have a law (Penned by FDR the homosexual) 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 morons 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

              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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

        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 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.

      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.

    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.

            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.

              is correct.

              Companies, corporations and organizations have such rights because they're composed of people who work for them.

              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.

    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.

    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.

    >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.

      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.

        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 fricking know tbh, this shit has been overwhelming my brain

        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.

            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 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 fricking 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.

              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.

            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?

              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

                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.

            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.

            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.

            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.

      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.

              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.

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
