To what extend is the use of AI original work.

[keen gull]

Well a discussion in the #vibe-chambers prompted this question and I would like to afford others to add their opinion to this matter.

Personally I think that AI is a tool as much as any other tool we use. It simplifies a lot of things and speeds up the process. Allowing for faster results and ready availability to a larger pool of people. However that does not mean that the works created are inferior. They are a made with a different kind a brush, instrument or typewriter.

Feel free to add your own thoughts.

AIs are created to make people lazy and to take over the world in the future

Thats it

Besides, chat gpt cant send me millions of money to the card so its shit and dont worth it

I think AI is a tool as well. However, I feel that it’s quite often created unethically through the theft of artwork online.

I think the best method would be for each Artist to train their own AI using their own work

Well, AI has to be trained on something, which means everything is more or less taken from stuff that existed before, making all AI works Plagiarized

The Adobe AI was created through artwork the company bought the rights to

Just because I use the same style does not mean its a copy.

Ultimately though.

that would again limit the availability

Art is a puzzle

And there’s only so many ways you can assemble the same thing using the same pieces

[hardy kestrel]

I respect the usage of AI for like artificial Covers of Songs and for like "jokes", but I don't think it should be used as "real" art. Also, all AI works should be labeled as such

[winged valley]

AI isn’t really creating new forms of art

Just replicating popular ones in different end results

Ultimately, we still need Artists to actually create the next kind of Art

[keen gull]

That is entirely true. However they can combine pieces in ways they have never been put together befor. So with every new addition of pieces there are an increasingly number of possible combinations

[winged valley]

In general.

AI Art isn’t really very good

Or even just good

It’s usually above average at best and I think that’s how it’s gonna remain

It’s very difficult to make good art with it

And that’s why I believe that being an “AI Artist” is actually a skill

Since to make it good, you have tweak the prompts, switch between various models and even touch up the end result yourself
