I saw a post once over on another site that rhymes with deaddit, listing all the sites for "AI" art, writing, coding, speech, video, music, mimicry, you name it. Does anyone have a graphic, or...
...care to contribute a link to their favorite site for an AI activity? I'd be really interested in seeing what's out there, but the field is moving and growing so fast and search engines suck so hard that I know I'm missing out.
Yeah dude seems like he's killing it. He's been at exclusive-ish events with zuck and Sam Altman. Not exactly jealous, but still awesome. Don't know his exact background but like... Anyone could have done what he's doing with basic web development skills, he's slinging shovels during the gold rush.
Er I guess also basic software engineering skills to run and demo all these tools. And then video editing. Maybe little marketing/seo
Still though, that's a pretty wide demographic these days!
Question: are you aware that most AI "art" is actually just cobbled together assets from human artists, often without permission from said artists?
Serious question here. Genuinely wondering if you're aware.
Edit: I might've come across as rude. This was not intended and I apologize if it was.
Edit 2:
2023-11-11 – Was looking through some past comments and thought I'd edit this one with something important: I was wrong. The comments below mine taught me some important facts about AI art that I was not aware. These kind users took the time to educate me, and I appreciate that. AI art generation is a lot more nuanced than I gave it credit for. Please don't be past Me. Past Me was kind of a dick for their original comment here, even if they didn't fully mean to be.
Hey I got no problem with referencing art, but one should at least give credit for works referenced. Also, the AI isn't actually sentient, so it's just a generative algorithm; it's not actually creatively making derivative works.
So piracy isn't I feel a 1:1 comparison. At least in most forms of software piracy, the pirates still leave in the credits/splashscreen/whatever.
When you put something out there, you allow for the possibility that people will see your work and incorporate it into their mental catalog of art and artistic process
...except when a person is doing it, they're doing their own thing to it. They take an idea or two and filter it through their own lens and stylise it
Think about it like this - when you do data scraping, you're still interpreting the results. You're looking at the data and going 'ok from this I can draw X and Y conclusions based on this and that'. AI art is like if we removed you from the process - we just shoved all the data into a black box and it goes ding "X is Y". If you asked it why that's so, it wouldn't be able to tell you. You can't see how it works so you have no idea if it's reasoning makes scientific sense. It would not be admissible in a paper.
If you pirate shit then you have no ground to stand on for complaining about AI training.
...don't most people kinda agree you don't pirate from small artists where piracy is actually hurting them? There's like, honour along thieves when it comes to piracy, and this is stepping all over the little guy who's actually hurt by this just to get your grubby little hands on something you think you're entitled to
Except I'm a sentient being; these so-called "AI" programs aren't actually sentient. They have no self-awareness. It's just a stream of IF/THEN statements with no actual awareness of said art.
I feel that's the difference. I have nothing against non-human art as a principle. When these "A.I." programs actually gain self-awareness and then create art, then I will gladly consider it genuine art.
I think people know, they just don't give a shit because they think they're entitled to have art and artists are arseholes for not giving them exactly what they want
