Thought an art thread for AI generated images would be fun. There is a few different AIs now and they are really good.

AIs, like all other technology, are merely tools. They won't replace humans, but artists may use them to generate concept art or for other practical purposes.
People used to think acrylic paint was abominable because it did away with the need for artists to harvest the materials of their paints from nature. Technology changes, and so does art.

It'll streamline the art process at most. Artists benefit more than anyone.
The only "artists" who'll be replaced by automation are talentless hacks who's only skills are sliding a pencil across paper. While painting, writing and use of artistic elements (lighting, color, symbolism, emotionally evocative imagery, etc) can be mastered by machines through formula and algorithms, actual creative vision and abstract thought can still only be done by humans, because the creative aspect art is subjective, rather than objective.
Just look at the images above. They make great use of all the elements of art, and the images themselves are beautiful and evocative, but they're not really saying anything. The machine was able to algorithmically generate images that illicit responses from humans, but the machine itself had nothing to say, so it's just uncanny nonsense when you examine it closely.

That being said, these AI generated artworks are fun to look at, and I had a laugh reading AI generated greentexts. I think AI images and text have great potential for entertainment and shitposting. The automation enables people without the skills to draw to generate images based on their artistic visions, and that's pretty cool.

It shifts art from those with training and time spent to art that is 'directed'.
With the way that's available it'll be possible to have distinct 'assests' within a work that is seperate form the artwork as a whole.
The demand for art would remain the same, artists in the traditional sense might be niche. Which could lead to high arts.
Those with that skill set might be pushed to where programs lack at that point in time. Such as animations.

It is absolutely a commodity. It's a skilled practice that people pay money for.
If you want art of your pony OC, you either learn to draw or hire an artist to draw it for you, which is a service you pay for based on the skills of the craftsman and the market price of the commission.

Okay, but what about all those artists who draw for a living? Is their art not art?
What about all of the art that was requested or commissioned by paying customers (a large amount of pony art) is that not art?

Whatever you want to label it, art or not art, there's a market element to this trade, and technology has serious potential to change it, just like it changed the animation industry.

That's bullshit. Not all paid art is Jewish.
You don't think any of the commissioned pony content that has been produced over the past decade was legitimate? None of it was art, because it was done for money?
Even the great renaissance artist: Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci; all of them worked for commission. They created legendary works of art that took time and skill not just because they wanted to, but because someone else requested and financed their work. They had to study anatomy without textbooks, harvest and mix the materials for their paints, and research artistic elements to do so, and for that they were paid hefty sums of money. Today, we don't need to do those things because technology lets us use search engines to find images and we can just go to the store and buy paint, but it's still paid commissions for a skilled job.

Yes, it is really fun to play with and fairly easy to get up and running if you have Nvidia GPU (with 3GB or more VRAM). Sadly I only have a 3GB card so it is slow-ish (1-2 minutes per image) and I can't make big images. But it makes me want to save up to get better GPU so I can make big images. Hopefully there will be an model trained on Pony images made available that all can use sometime in the future.

Yeah I think Stable Diffusion is promising for pony art, there is someone working on training the AI on his own site so it can work with more pony art and also pornagraphic art too since non of these AI aren't trained on such art. Don't think he would want it spread too far at the moment but they are also working on a chat bot AI to work with it too.

One thing it's really good at right now is muscular women pin ups though for those /sp/ posters hanging around

Brand name clothing isn't more expensive or desired because it is of a higher quality.
You pay for the name so you can signal to your materialist friends what a fanatically insecure materialist you are.
It might even attract some golddigging whores, and get some shallow rich girls to see you as a person and treat you better than they would treat a man in cheaper clothes.
Art produced by humans will always retain the value of the name it is attached to.
What is AI art attached to? The AI's name? The quality of the art you trained the AI on, and how well that art is known?
I see AI art becoming a fad. It will be exciting for a while, and then it will be abused until it becomes as cringe as NFTs.
Even though not all NFTs are overpriced monkey pics and many artists out there like selling their art using NFTs but whatever.
Youtubers will make more "I made x with AI" videos until it gets old. And keep making them until they get hated.
Artists will still use AI to help produce rough drafts and reference marerial even if they keep quiet about it.

Ariel is misinformed about life on the surface yet fascinated by it anyway because she knows none of the shit that casts her fetishized race in a bad light. She's separated from them by the species barrier like whites are from blacks. She has to give up her voice to an obese witch to fundamentally change herself and gain the ability to be a part of their world, rise to the surface, nearly drowning in the process because her old home is no longer something anyone like the incredibly white Prince Eric can live in. Her father, king of the nonhumans, forbids racemixing, and she violates that anyway.

Make Ariel or Eric nonwhite and you add a weird racial aspect to the movie that really doesn't belong here.

Make Eric black and she only idolizes his culture because she doesn't know about the bad parts. Make Ariel black and she can't swim, and the relationship was only possible in the first place because she went out of her way to reject her father and be less black.

It would be like taking Cloud Strife's struggle to be a man, and fucking that up by making him a tranny in the remake. Or making Pinnochio a tranny.

I don't think it'll be just a fad. I think it's here to stay. Interest will wane overtime, but the enormous convenience it gives shitposters in generating pics from prompts will continue to stoke new content.
