r/ArtistHate

First things first I'm from India so, if that clears anything. Ive been taking 4 year design course at this college, 2 and a half years in and i have seen 100s of different posters advocating for AI art(very few posters with AI art on them). One room has giant quote written on the wall but not by any famous person, just some bullshit chatgpt "inspirational" quote with em dashes and everything. 3 or 4 seminars a year talking about how "ai is the future" and that "it won't replace you, it's just another tool", we even have classes teaching us how to use AI. I made my opinion on genai clear and the teachers treat me like I'm a stubborn old man. Subreddits like these keep telling me that only a minority of people have a positive view of AI but it's hard to think that when every teacher tells you to use AI, your classmates use chatgpt to complete assignments and even your own family sees no problem in it.

Today's Google IO reveals a new workflow of image gen and a brand new video model. So expect a big wave of slop soon.

The one in the buttom is the new image gen workflow

I was messing around on the slop machine to make music (even _more_ soulless crap than images if possible)

One thing I find odd is that while I can use "Thomas Kincaid transformers" and get an image that rips off the artist. But if I put "Taylor Swift happy birthday" I am informed that I can't use that artist's voice.

So stealing art styles is fine, I can even use their faces, but not their voices?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I can't just steal an artist's voice, I just wish the same rule was applied across the board.

imho, this isn't the gotcha he thinks it is. all it does is show that you can't believe any ai advocate who has a blue checkmark or on threads when they have a paid account. it's always ragebait. avoid these accounts at all costs. if you wanna comment, screenshot and steal their posts.

they literally get paid off of you engaging with their troll ragebait.

Something like chatgpt is likely here to stay, similar to Alexa.

But what about the ai music, ai art, and ai video companies? Would a bubble burst have any impact on them?

I'm a bit late for the shit show but I just found out that Automattic (Tumblr, WordPress.com) is selling users' data to OpenAI and Midjurney. (Feb. 2024)

I don't remember ever agreeing to have my data sold to train AI models and yes, I'm pissed!

I tried crossposting this from r/ArtistLounge but, they dont allow it. I realize this might be a better place to ask this question.

Hey ya'll I have a bit of a dilemma when it comes to proving my work is mine. I have some art friends in a discord where we were discussing ways to navigate this artificial art world. Some, including myself, are concerned with ways to prove we drew our work without putting more undo stress. Some say they use Glaze, others say they try to take a picture of themselves with their work but, others who are Vtubers dont want to do that. One of my friends said they experienced someone DMing them saying they would rather take their work and make similar drawings in Stable Diffusion than deal with their prices.We thought there would be a more professional way to prove we made the work but, that doesnt exist and it kinda doesnt make sense to do copyright registrations. So I bring the question to you, what do you do nowadays? Do you speedpaint or post each individual layer(if you do digital work)? Or do you do something else?

To be honest, I feel a little bit like a broken record here but, I am still curious what people do now since most posts I see are like years old so I am not sure if they are relevant or not and I feel like things are slowly getting worse as more tech is coming out of the wood works like crazy. I saw Content Credentials, which is great but, how does that help independent artists or even digital artists who post on instagram or other social media sites where stuff can get screenshot. Metadata can be changed and watermarks can be removed so we dunno. I heard there are some open-source options as well.

If you haven't already, you should definitely watch the newest trailer for Laika's adaptation of Wildwood. Ok a time where AI is rampant and around all corners, this brings pure joy to see once again this studio creating beautiful art with their bare hands.
