"The end of AI Art? Lawsuit against Stable diffusion"

Hmm, in thar case ig it's fine. Still though my point is that you shouldn't have to do stuff like this just to use AI art, it should be entirely free from the getgo
sure in a perfect world.. but i guess it cost money to train these models and some if not most see it as an investment that they want to get rich off.

Also BlueWillow, its free and i've been playing with it all day.

Machine Learning is moving so fast, we ain't ready for this.
It’s like we are living through another unprecedented event in our life time.

Dot com bubble bursting
Credit crunch
Covid
Cost of living crisis
AI going to enslave us with sex robots. (Oh no please don’t 😉)
 
The problem with viewing art as human expression is that the current culture restricts us so much in terms of what we can express. Films, music and TV shows are becoming increasingly anodyne that they might as well be made by a computer as they are just a series of sensory stimulations designed to make us feel good. Heaven forbid that some ugly, complex part of the human condition be vicariously revealed by an artist.

AI art is dumb

I mean, art is made by a person who thinked in something and developed something. It's emotional and creativity together. A machine doesn't have any of this

Let robots do robot stuff and people do people stuff

yea but maybe you have a concept you want to try out, so instead of spending to much time to try it out and find out it doesn't work, you could test it out first before jumping in to it :)
Yeah, the pros are definitely gonna win out, I think, in the end. Like I said, I just hope it all ends up for the better. Right now, it's still a fairly basic algorithm. If and when true AI rises from the ethers, shit could get hairy pretty damned fast. :D

Nailed it.

But...

It's also a tool. So, can it be used to help humans express emotion? I think so, yes.

You're on to something. I see AI art as merely an extension of the algorithmic prison that most of culture is trapped in. An algorithm that can analyze what gets people to watch right down to the thumbnail is only a step away from finding commonality in media to form pleasing images or sounds.

The thing is, generative AI isn't doing anything that human creators don't. Yes, it's drawing from a huge library of content that it's been trained on, just as humans do, but the results are novel enough to pass any legal test in terms of copyright.

The uncomfortable reality is that all artists assimilate disparate influences in the hopes of generating something novel. AI may not be able to do it with purpose and intention and meaning, it may be based on a random seed, but it's still creative in a very real sense.

And what we have now is just in it's infancy, stupid text prompts correlating based on tagging, but eventually it will be a tool for artists, not a replacement. It will allow for the kind of finer grain control and tweaking that will vastly speed up the process for realizing art, and open fine art up to less technically skilled designers. People will find a way to use it to do things they simply couldn't on their own. I'm especially interested to see the impact it will have on animation

It was an obvious copy of a Japanese Anime. I was inferring that these claims are difficult to prove. The creator mostly needs to avoid acknowledging the material copied from.
Sure, sure.

I'm sure over time many cases will arise, and little by little laws will make more clearly what's acceptable, etc.

And that's exactly what this is, a technological revolution, this isn't some breakthrough where you go from a ball mouse to a laser, it's much bigger than that and there's no stopping it now, and its happening and most people are still unaware of it happening. AI tech is moving so fast that a week from now the current setup I got is already outdated and something better has come out. It's not just AI as far as images go, its chatgpt, midjjourney, stable diffusion and who knows what else is coming so they better get used to it. Just wait till they get AI trained music.
Musenet is an AI that creates music and can create quite complex music (fugues), but there are several others.

And MIDI has kinda been doing since I was a teenager (decades ago). And the tech seems to be getting better. Was literally just working in my DAW tinkering with randomizing note lengths, velocities, etc. You can set to abide certain keys, de-tune, snap to note or be more free in its equations. So, it's not limited to visual art only. There's was some mild blow back years ago, but most of us were amazed and drawn to it. It hasn't really gotten in the way of my focus -- fingerstyle guitar.
