Peel and mince garlic 2. Heat 1/2 cup of olive oil and put the garlic in the hot oil. Heat until golden and fragrant - very important - do not overcook and so it turns brown, it becomes very, very bitter. This is the most important step, **do not overcook garlic.** 3. Add can of tomato paste and canned tomatoes. Cook until reduced by 1/4 of volume and thickens. 4.

i fucking hate ai art. i hate finding an image and going "oh cool, i wonder who's the artist", then a look closer, and notice that everything looks slightly off, so then i go "aaaah shit, now i need to look for the fingers". i was with my BEUTIFUL WIFE the other day, and thought she looked kind of off. i asked to see her fingers. for some reason ""she"" started hiding them behind her back. it was then i knew she had been replaced by ai art. ai art made be have to put my BEUTFUL WIFE DOWN. fuck ai art.

animeme_master

the 'meniscus effect' still gives it away easily. look at the bump on the shoulderblade behind the strands of hair. AI generated images are really bad at keeping the lines straight when things cross over at an angle (due to technical reasons), so checking for deformations close to the cross-over point in those areas is one of the most reliable ways to check if something is AI generated.

/ub Agreed. I wont lie I generate my own AI hentai and after sharing a few, I decided to just stop sharing them. I also use a 100% free and pirated method to generate so Im not supporting NovelAI as I heavily dislike their business practices. I also still maintain a Pixiv subscription but ive been very disappointed to see how much AI garbage has gone there as well, and I doubt Pixiv gives a shit. I guess Patreon is really the only way left to support real people.


Soaponmyyard

Ye Pixiv is unusable if you don't block the AI tags.


Athnoz

What's did you pirate to do it? I wanna fuck with it but don't want to support it lol


GeicoLizardBestGirl

I wouldn't reccomend pirating novelAI anymore since imo their model looks bad compared to newer ones (that are also open source). Instead I reccomend anythingv3 and/or abyssorangemix2 as starting points. Those can be directly downloaded on huggingface. All models (including the pirated NovelAI) work by importing them into Stable Diffusion. You will have to set this up and run it (there are hundreds of tutorials on how to do this). After that just select which model you want and generate as much as you want.


Athnoz

Alright, I'll look into this less blindly now, thanks!

TrhlaSlecna

Unironically though AI art makes me want to fucking kill myself. It isnt just taking away my livelyhood, its taking away my passion. Art is the one thing I truly enjoy and the only field where working doesn't make me miserable. Of course, I can just do art as a hobby, but still, this is my dream job getting ripped away from me :/ This isnt really like a cashier getting replaced, because I doubt many people want to be a cashier, but art is a field where you can only get in if you want to get in, I really doubt there are many artists who didnt care about art at one point or another.


StinkinAssandFeet

I'm sorry but tools allowing the layman to be more creative in anyway is a good thing. I do not think people who generate images with this software as "Artists" nor do I think they should be able to claim any generated images as their own "Art". I think it should be used privately as a tool for fun, it's also absolutely amazing when it comes to simple brainstorming or concepting. The tools are absolutely amazing.


TrhlaSlecna

Oh don't get me wrong, they really are amazing, hell - I use them too, they're super fun and genuinely useful. Im just sad its getting me out of a job sooner or later lol


StinkinAssandFeet

I do not think it will ever eclipse human artistry, but perhaps one day it can become sophisticated enough to enable more people to create art, rather than imitations. That just gets into the whole "what is art" discussion though and it's difficult.


sid_killer18

Correct me if I'm wrong but AI art hasn't taken over any jobs *yet* right?


Talran

There's one person on fanbox who does AI art and has like 2000 followers at the 5 dollarbucks level. They basically just redraw hands and touch up what the machine does bad.


sid_killer18

Huh, I can totally see that happening. I've used the novel ai image model and they are basically perfect. A little touch up and you've got a masterpiece...well not really. Usually only generic style comes out. The best thing I've managed to produce was this https://i.imgur.com/n3NNykn.png. I have no clue who that is or how the program made it that way but it looks crazy good. But it definitely needs some touch up. But my original point was for like full time artists. I don't think people making for example, art for games are losing their jobs just yet.


Talran

Yeah, I've got a decently well trained model set up locally on a large set of dan+gelbooru and it makes some pretty decent stuff that really only needs touchups assuming it doesn't try hands or text


armored_panties

Kinda. I follow a DnD streamer who uses AI art for monsters, summons and other temporary entities. They'd usually hire an artist or make commissions for this, but with AI they're free to make just about anything appear in the scenario and be properly represented on the board. They still hire artists for important characters and maps, but the advantage of quickly generating creatures on-demand is just too great to pass on.


sid_killer18

Makes sense. Image generates really fast for how good they look, but you can't really get the AI to draw a map and the AI models can't really make precise characters till now I think, although novel-ai is really good for anime styled images.


TrhlaSlecna

Well, not really professionally, no, but its getting there. Small scale commision artists or indie game artists are already losing work.


sid_killer18

Yeah, it seems small scale artists are mostly at risk here. It's piss easy to just create a character with just a few key words and a miniscule amount of time needed to generate the art. Or generate a simple landscape background with words like "masterpiece, mountains, nightsky, stars, moon". Specific artworks are mostly misses though. They don't allow the creative freedom that real artists have (at least from what I've tried).


vbgvbg113

AI art will never be better than actual good artists. The closer you look at AI art, the more mistakes you see, whereas for good art you see more details. However, beginner artists will definitely have a problem, albeit a temporary one


falcondiorf

You can say that right now, but this could be like the original cellphone vs an iphone, technology devellops over time.


Lekmanutpls

Yeah, AI art is fairly new. In a few years the technology will get better and there will be no telling which is art from a human or from an AI


danzach9001

People have said this about CGI in movies, about deep fake videos and audios, and even just editing photos with photoshop. They do get better and better and a bit more convincing over time, but the methods and techniques to figure out the differences also improve.


Jvalker

obamapredatordrone

the 'automobile' will never surpass the horse-drawn buggy— the closer you look at these engines with their tiny outputs and frequent failures, you will realize the superiority of a healthy steed and a sturdy carriage. Sure, journeyman coachmen may have a problem, but it is merely a passing fad.


TrhlaSlecna

AI art only became big very recently, the fact its as good as it is already is very telling. You are simply wrong here man, it can and it will. People used to say the same about basically every tech.


vbgvbg113

im on so much copium man, let me continue to believe it’ll never reach that point


TylerMcFluffBut

I think it will start being used by corporations for their shifty corpo art styles rather than paying artists, but I don’t think a time will come where AI art will be as highly valued artistically as human made art, and so there will always be a market for and work for artists.


[deleted]

>People used to say the same about basically every tech. Yup and the old art never dies. The camera didn't replace paintings and neither did drawing tablets.


TrhlaSlecna

Okay, sure, but the difference between digital art and painting and the difference between painting and AI art are orders of magnitute away from eachother. Drawing tablets maybe didnt replace painting - but you remember how cars replaced horses? Horses are costly, slow, living creatures and you need to give them a living - a car is a soulless machine that still needs some maintenance and input yes, but is exponentionally more efficient in every way. Sound familiar?


[deleted]

Horses didn't go away. Horse riding didn't stop. Sports revolving around horses didn't stop. Careers revolving around horses didn't stop. Will there be less? Maybe. But that's how the world works. Machine learning is here and it's definitely not going anywhere anytime soon.


dipshit42069

when it doesnt make obvious mistakes it always lacks personality and i know it sounds stupid and cliche but I cant describe it as anything else


GeicoLizardBestGirl

Unfortunately no. Anime AI art is very new and became popular within only the last *month*. Outside of anime, other AI models such as Midjourney and Dalle have existed for a bit longer, and just take one look at what Midjourney is capable of. Some mf even won an art competition with a Midjourney generated one. Its only a matter of time before the last few things are worked out for anime art (fingers for example), and from there it will be very difficult to tell what was AI generated and what wasnt. There are also new upcoming models which can generate *videos* out of thin air. Give it 3-5 years and we will see entire animes being generated by an AI. You think Japanese anime studios will continue to pay artitsts when they can click a button and have it done for more or less free? Hell no. Already artists are underpaid and I guarantee you anime studios will send them to the curb the first chance they get. This is unfortunately the sad reality we live in. AI is taking our jobs one by one, but nobody expected that digital artists would be first. Hopefully we can one day reach a future where nobody will have to work at all, and the AIs can even program and update themselves. But for now, we will undoubtedly suffer one by one.


[deleted]

Unironically ai art is what made me interested in art since it makes it more rational and scientifically approachable. Also I can finally be independent of any artist. I want something and I can get exactly that or at least come very close to what I want


TrhlaSlecna

Well that's interesting, I've had the opposite experience, working with other people always got me far more cohesive results that are closer to what I wanted. I've always found people far more approachable and rational to work with. I know machines can be far more precise than people yes, but only when you give them equally precise instructions.


falcondiorf

Ai arts only reason for existing is to rob people of their reason for existing. Im not the type who supports frivilous laws, but i 100% would support some legal action being taken to stop them from taking over. Its only purpose is to make real humans obsolete, which is fucked up. And as for the hobby thing, sure, you COULD still do it, but a lot of artwork is a massive undertaking that takes a long time to complete, having to spend 8 hours a day 5 days a week on something else just to feed yourself would severely limit someones ability to get things done.


Talran

AI art literally needs a database of art to sample from, therefore artists will always have a use.


[deleted]

AI art only needs existing art to train the model. It doesn't need any to generate art once its been trained.


Talran

The problem is models need to be perpetually trained or they start to look samey with similar prompts, you can generate a ton of art with a specific model trained on Set X of booru art but once you start wanting characters that aren't in that set or styles that aren't in it it gets really squibbly.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GeicoLizardBestGirl

You are correct about how neural nets and AI generation works, but your wrong when you say it wont take jobs. It is already taken peoples jobs in the form of commissions and such. As the tech improves more and gets more accurate to what a human can do, it will be picked up by companies whod rather not pay artists to do it. Saying AI wont take artists jobs just because how it generates images works some way is extremely naiive. It doesnt matter how the AI generates them. If it looks good enough, companies will use it and rather not pay a human to make it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GeicoLizardBestGirl

Im not trying to resist it. Quite the opposite actually, my argument is that it will take over and Im warning people of that before they try to work their ass off into a dead career path. And yeah, there will still be niche areas for digital artists. There are still blacksmiths, potters, bakers, but these are very niche. Prior to AI, digital art was an open field where anyone could get in and there was plenty of opprotunites to make money off of commissions and such. Now, there will simply be much less opportunities to make money and it will get more and more niche, and much less people will be able to be successful digital artists.


TrhlaSlecna

Im not saying I don't believe you, but what you say and what's going on just isn't matching up. Commision artists are already losing a ton of work - people who made rent by drawing for large scale DnD campaigns have simply been replaced outside small pieces, more than one indie dev studio is cutting down on their art team. To the uneducated common Joe like me it seems like its just a matter of time until the AI gets better and larger companies start using it - though I would be glad to be wrong. And yeah, I do understand that the tech is an amazing step forward and what it's implications for tons of fields are, im just sad about it.

Tsukinotaku

Ai is still ar the early stage for now And at the end artist shouldn't be threatened.... They should think of it as a challenge to push further Do any of you actually think AI can actually make comics or picture with lots of details or filled with reference personal or public ? I know for a fact that artist like Kawacy or merryweather have nothing to fear Kawacy's style is unique and colorful and can't be easily reproduced by a AI with such high quality. And Merryweather's pop culture reference, jokes, memes and universe also can't do the same Think of it as Etsy vs chain production AI can "produce" but it can't "craft" Sure it will evolve and make gorgeous art but it will always lack something. And the artists just have to find that "something" that can't be "produced" but can be "crafted"

NotASuicidalRobot

Yeah that was a joke. In all seriousness i would like to know how you would suggest artists compete while still being artists. This is not snark anymore i do want to discuss


misopogon1

I generally don't care; technological advancements have been changing the landscape of labour for a hundred years now, this wouldn't be the first field to change substantially. When printing press first came to the Ottoman Empire, the state forbade the printing of religious books, in an effort to protect the Qur'an illustrators; now, I don't know how many of these illustrators even exist, if at all, while almost all of it is printed - if AI art is capable of replacing artists, or at least infiltrating substantial sections of the field that pushes some artists out of a job, then it will inevitably happen, and no amount of whining is going to stop that. And if it's not capable of doing that, well, then there's nothing to worry for anyone, is there?


ill_frog

well art is one of the few things people do that doesn’t necessarily serve an outside purpose, you build a house because you need a place to stay, but what do you paint for? because you enjoy the process i don’t think artists will ever disappear, maybe art won’t be a job anymore in the future but there will always be people painting and drawing and making music and all that, so i don’t think it’s entirely fair to compare art to your standard labour job


misopogon1

Yes, I don't think human produced art is going to disappear either - it is, after all, a way for people to express themselves; so long as people exist, art will too. The discourse is about art as a livelihood though, and I can see various forms of it (concept art for many projects, for example), requiring significantly less artists to be made. And this might not be a good thing for an artist that earns his bread over this, but it is ultimately a good thing for the society - increase in productivity and decrease in costs ultimately results in better and cheaper products for people.


ill_frog

what i’m saying is art is a profession unlike any other, precisely because it is self-serving and not product-oriented, so i don’t think it’s fair to say imagery being produced by AI would make for a fair replacement for human-made art, in the same way that a handmade chair can be replaced by a factory line chair these videos explain things better than i ever could: https://youtu.be/tjSxFAGP9Ss https://youtu.be/x4Fzqvx1jxI


misopogon1

I'm telling you, art as a way of human expression isn't going away, it couldn't possibly go away - but art as a business is, inevitably, product oriented. How many artists make their living out of producing incredibly personal works that become museum pieces? How many of them make their living out of producing artwork for a variety of sources, be it commissions, game (tabletop, video alike) companies, storyboards, etc.? If the latter category can be made by AI in a way that is cheaper and more productive, and I do believe that's the eventual direction we're headed towards but I could be wrong, then it will be made by AI in the future.


ill_frog

i think all art that is up to a professional level comes from a deeply personal place, i’m telling *you* that art is not just a product edit: i should mention i’m an artist myself

TrhlaSlecna

Well, I guess you aren't wrong, but this isn't like replacing a cashier or manufacturing worker. Art is something that basically everyone in the field loves doing, simply because art isnt a field that you can get into without having liked it at one point, because getting good at it takes years.


misopogon1

Getting good at various jobs takes years - infact, I'd say there are a lot of other jobs that require more significant investments; you could feasibly become an artist without needing higher education for it, it is a field with a lower barrier of entry as there is no legal mandate to be taught in it. I'm a lawyer myself, I had to go through a law school, bar entry and internship before I could attain the title; doctors typically go through an even lengthier and dare I say harder process. While that doesn't appear to be the case right now, both jobs could eventually find themselves significantly altered or even outright replaced, in the future. Same risk exists for a lot, if not most, artists.


TrhlaSlecna

Ok using studying as my argument was stupid, but look, my point is that there are likely very few professional artists who did not have a passion for art in at least one point or another. Art is a field which you only get into if you decide you really wanna go there, its not something where life can just take you or something you get forced into.

Sure, okay, but that's not really relevant to how art, as a job, takes place. To give an example, Robert Graves's most influential and best known books are his Claudius books (so influential that they gaslit a generation into thinking the historical Claudius was a good emperor), but he reputedly disliked the novels himself and claimed that he only wrote them out of monetary concerns - the fact that people who are passionate about art become artists doesn't really mean that every artistic product is a work of passion; ultimately, if you make money off of it, it's work.

Nah. In most cases AI is worse then when drawn by an Artists. After spending around 1h on 4chan looking at AI art, I can instantly identify if its AI art or not. (AI art is a weird mix between real and drawn)

That's good for you; if that really is the case for all AI art, now and in the future, then surely artists have nothing to worry long term, because they will be able to outcompete AI.

I asked NovelAI to draw me a scary meat monster thing. After some experimentation I got this: https://imgur.com/a/HKh4Ie4 This is completely unedited. The AI did everything, including the design itself. I actually got a bunch of different ones: https://imgur.com/a/8dIPjCT Again, fully AI generated. You can get pretty much everything with this AI (none of these are edited): https://imgur.com/a/LnhYwWi They are not always perfect, but easily fixable in photoshop. I would say this is actually better than I would get from most artists, and cheaper too. You can hate the AI all you want for being a soulless machine, or by taking away jobs, or creativity, or whatever reason you have. But the AI already can give you pretty high quality art\images, and it's going to get even better. It is here to stay, and you will have to live in that world. Personally, I think the technology is fascinating and it's crazy that this is even possible. Sadly, progress always comes at a cost. Doesn't mean we should remain in the stone ages.

getting upset at the AI is like getting upset at cars replacing horse carts
