Hello !
I've been experimenting with AI art (like everyone else) and I decided to share some of the things I made that are not complete garbage. I hope you enjoy it !

AI has so much potential for fantasy and porn. But when it comes to art - like mainstream stuff, and people who are employing real talent to make a living (painting for book covers, ads, pre-filming movie sketches, etc.) - it really feels like the end of entire career fields. And that sucks.

It is a general rule of technology that the things the living brains of creatures do easily, machinery and engineering struggles to reproduce, and vice versa. Thus, it is very easy to create a calculator that can perform mathematical computations much faster than a human can, but we still don't have good software or hardware that can allow a robot to easily pick itself back up after it's been knocked over, which is something any baby animal or human infant can do easily.

I do not pity any of the endless hordes of reactionary clowns bawling about AI art, because they are all the exact same people who were smugly and condescendingly spamming social media with taunts that working class people with industry jobs were going to become broke and destitute, and mocking miners and truckers by telling them to "learn to code."

Except, as I've already explained... anybody who knows anything about technology knows that it's going to be decades at least before we can write decent software for something like a self-driving car. Tasks that are simple for an organic brain can be maddeningly complex for software to replicate. It was always the white collar jobs that would be replaced first, the accountants and managers. We were always going to get AI artists and accountants before AI pilots and drivers, especially with how low the bar is for what is considered "art" these days.

Karma is a bitch. Those who did the mocking are the first to fall, and now because of their mockery, no one truly pities them except themselves.

The future of art belongs to artists who learn to use AI as yet another tool in their arsenal. It's no more inherently damaging than autotune or photoshop filters. The people who cry the loudest are those with the least talent and those who are most unwilling to adapt. Or in other words, those most deserving of being cut out of the profession. Industrial stonecutting did not end the profession of sculptors. But it did put crappy sculptors out of business, yes.

If you don't like that, maybe you should learn to code, huh?
