where, argument? social media.
Let's provide them with basic income and their reasons for feeling threatened go away. In that case, art once again becomes a solitary endeavor of passion. Nearly all of the artists I know do it largely for themselves but they admit they still need to make money to make ends meet. If we take away the financial part of the equation, they go will back to their initial reason for being involved in this field. I suspect they will largely not care about what AI will do for art.caltrek wrote: ↑Fri Dec 16, 2022 3:11 pm I think this is all another version of mechanization and robotization taking people's jobs away. I suppose it is hard enough for creative artists to compete against other creative artists. To compete against AI must be especially threatening and/or humiliating.
The emotional impulses seem similar to the Luddites.
Perhaps if artists can be trained to use the new technologies and have access to the relevant hardware and software. That would seem fair given their earlier contribution to the art world. I suspect it is probably a case of easier said than done, especially if there is an insistence on measuring past contributions. How do you calibrate such a thing?
Lol! I saw words on a differ topic related thread on Reddit about this. The future is gonna be weird indeed when AI is making porn!Vakanai wrote: ↑Mon Dec 12, 2022 5:38 am I was on an adult website recently, discovered some nice pictures, looked for the artist tag, and discovered that it was made by AI. Apparently people are already using stable diffusion to create erotic art works.
So that's a thing that exists now. What a time to be alive.
It's already doing it, it's just that many can't or won't afford it.Nanotechandmorefuture wrote: ↑Mon Dec 26, 2022 9:40 pmLol! I saw words on a differ topic related thread on Reddit about this.

Art-generating models like Stable Diffusion, for instance, have led to incredible outpourings of creativity, powering apps and even entirely new business models. On the other hand, its open source nature lets bad actors use it to create deepfakes at scale — all while artists protest that it’s profiting off of their work.
What’s on deck for AI in 2023? Will regulation rein in the worst of what AI brings, or are the floodgates open? Will powerful, transformative new forms of AI emerge, à la ChatGPT, disrupting industries once thought safe from automation?
