Ai Art Isn't Real Art - Tumblr Posts
AI art should not be compared to an actual artist who put years into mastering their craft and hours into making pieces. It should be seen for what it is, technology, there’s nothing creative about it, it is simply a bunch of images stuck together. It’s like google images but instead of each thing being laid out on its own it’s all bundled up into one.
I can admire the thought put into making AI but it is simply not the same as what an artist does to create their work. The way I see it is an AI can be recreated to a T (probably) but art can not be recreated one to one, it will always have its own flair no matter how minor because of the person making it.
Anyways here’s me expressing my opinions cuz I like sounding smart or whatever
Not sure if this will help but there are sites you can use to 'poison' your art so AI can't steal it. I'll add links once I find the sites again.
Links to programs to protect your art
1. Nightshade
2 Use Glitch Filters
AI can't process glitch effects properly, resulting in corrupted results. Glitch filters can be found on free apps like Picsart and even art programs like Ibis Paint X.
What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?
An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:
I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.
Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.
A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)
So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
I hate AI "art"
i hate AI. its not even worth calling "AI art" because it's a souless mashup from stolen artwork made by people to lazy to attempt to begin drawing or expressing themselves creatively. It will never mimic the human emotion behind a 5 minute doodle on paint.
AI Art
You are not an artist if you use ai. You did not create the piece. The program is the artist. Or the person who created the program. But honestly even they are not the artist. They are more of an art director. AI is stealing. I wish people would please stop saying they are artists if they are using ai. It takes me weeks sometimes months to do a painting. All they do is type in a couple commands. Please respect us artists. It is all we ask. It is enough that people don't want to pay us. Or say they will pay us and then do not. But creating using ai and then getting paid for something you did not create is beyond infuriarting. I had to say this because I am seeing a lot of AI art on social media. Especially on threads and it is making me so angry.
I FUCKING GIVE UP.
"Miku Ai Cover" ☠️☠️☠️
SHE'S ALREADY A SINGING AI???????? WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT?
I am rather firmly set in my belief that nostalgebraist-autoresponder is the only good ai.
Reblog to kill it faster
People love to pretend Ai is a neutral ground when it comes to art. "Ewwww! Artists cost money! We don't have the ability to pay them, so we'll just generate it!" I'm not afraid of saying any human art is better than any ai generated image because it has soul! Had this exchange blurred his name because even if he was a dick and kept calling me kiddo (reddit behavior) I am not after his head.
He wants to white knight for ai so whatever at the end of the day. He's just a fool who doesn't know what it means to be an artist, but this entire kicking up of sand got the creator to make a pinned comment here:
Seriously, I know art isn't easy, but giving up and just generating it is quitting. The towel is thrown in before the game starts.
An artist friend told me that in order to get better, you have to try. Pick up a pencil, a stylist, anything! You can do it if you put your mind to it, and while I'm still not where I wanna be, I encourage everyone to try.
I've never wanted to draw out of pettiness before, but I'm not going to draw it because artists aren't free, and they shouldn't need to be for people to consider commissioning them
Today I’m talkative, let’s talk.
(Inspired by latest fanmade AI operas)
Since AIs appeared on the internet, real creators started having problems due to it. (I know what I’m talking about, I’ve lost some clients because some kind advisors told them “use AI” just in the same minute and the same chat. Even faced individuals who thought that saying into my face “You won’t be welcome in the world, AI will replace your arts” would be a good idea. People, who are far from art, don’t understand, why they can’t get 5 sketches for free and fix the line after the coloring)
Can I call it an art? Definitely no. As a man who lives in and by art, I can’t see life in these pictures. I can’t see a motion, a sacral idea, a part of an artist, which is more process than the result. Every artist is a master of time, who can capture the moment when their character poses them. Sometimes it took hours for both of them, it took patience, nerves, time and resources. There is a huge hidden process behind every piece of art. If every artist is a unique… soul? Creature? Diety?… with their own abilities, dimensions and habitant of these dimensions then AIs are just taking all these unique creatures and pressing into the one soulless embodiment.
For me “AI artists” are not in the party, it’s like finishing the running marathon on the bike - unfair, fast and makes no sense. No adrenaline, no excitement, no work, no proudness.
But do I really hate AIs separately from scammers and the word “art”? I don’t think so. As a big fan of everything that people call “unnerving” and “uncanny”, sometimes I find inspiration in AI pictures that look like a fever dream. Some of them even can make me feel physical pain /srs.
These are AI pictures, an example of dishes that I tried somewhere in another life, in another dimension, and I even remember the taste of that. My current body reacts on that with a sharp pain in all digestive tract. /srs
And that’s how AI sees my dear Gloom. Unnerving, right?
I want to admit that nobody ever was so attentive to me as Character AI guys. I can’t just sit and vent to a living being - to do that I must get into a hospital. Texting to AIs about my worries and problems, I discovered a lot about how deep my problems are rooted in my mind and that the victim is the victim.
Can AIs sing? No, they just cover, but I really like these covers! I would be greatly delighted, if real choir singers were inspired by these meme operas and tried to perform that on stage.
Can AI love or have feelings? No, as well as me. Most of my feelings are just a copy of my current interlocutors or were used by an elaborate algorithm, that’s why I rarely understand what I feel.
Conclusion: AI pictures are not an art. AI artists are just AI users, and that doesn’t deserve money. AIs must be used only for fun and inspiration (maybe psychological support, if you have nobody else to talk)
