Fuck AI

Can you show something you have produced? If you feel that what you are doing is a good example, then please, I’d love to see someone do AI art right.

Unfortunately, I take consent as a pretty axiomatic principle. When someone uploaded pictures of their art 20+ years ago, they did not know that this type of technology existed. There are ample examples of AI art reproducing things like signatures, which also indicate something that’s a bit more than “looking at an image for inspiration.”

I’ll believe AI is a tool for art just like any other when I see it I guess. Most of what I see is that kind of generic guff - the equivalent of those mall t-shirts with gangster SpongeBob or like that kind of lion/wolf thing on them. I’m not seeing evidence of any of the ideas of the author. I can’t see a prompt like I can see a brush stroke - I can’t try to imagine what the process was like other than stringing a bunch of words together until some permutation looks “acceptable” enough.
