I’m too cheap to pay artists so now I’m locked into a closed system run by a private company acting to protect its capital, this is literally communism CCP 1984
An argentinean friend of mine, was complaining about the lack of gas oil in gas stations on Argentina and said "we're literally Venezuela!!" and I was like my dude, if Venezuela have problems, lack of gas oil is not one of them, you cannot use Venezuela as an example for everything you don't like.
Didn't Venezuela have oil shortages due to all the refineries being located outside the country?
Entirely possible since it's the oil cartels that tend to maintain a monopoly on the means of production for petroleum products.
Also fun fact Alaska is similar to Venezuela in the fact that we rely on our oil reserves to the point our economy crashes when oil prices crash, and we have to ship our oil out to get it refined.
I know a few graphic designers and they're STRUGGLING for work right now. It's horrible out there for them. They're available! They will absolutely make great graphics! But yeah you do kinda have to pay them and capitalists hate paying people so here we are
I mean I'm presuming they're paying this guy, it's just apparently to argue with a computer a lot.
This is what "technology = good" gets you in the end. You pay a guy to argue with a computer for no discernible reason when you could just pay some guy to do thing, and it's all because technology is understood as magic better thing instead of, you know, what it is, and it AI is fucking terrible at concept art as @thisonethatone points out
also there could even be a middle ground if the issue is adjustments a graphic designer could make the adjustments
As someone who has commissioned artwork and who has tried out the AI """art""" generators... it doesn't even begin to compare. The only way I can possibly imagine someone thinking an AI """art""" generator could replace real artists is if they've never ever worked with any artist ever.
That’s why you get the CIA to fund postmodern art for decades so you can reduce “art” to something easily replaced by “AI”
Idk if I'm even totally against this guy, because what he's complaining about is the same thing that makes YouTube copywrite strikes so annoying.
Not like the stuff getting censored is indie creative stuff on DeviantArt. This is guaranteed "You can't use a keyword that might upset Disney" tier censorship.
It's classic enshittification, either way.
When communists do something bad, it's communism!
When capitalists do something bad, it's communism!
Communism is when bad
Communism shit my pants
It's gotten to the point where any time I see someone whining about censorship i immediately tune out
Please tell me someone recommended paying an actual human artist to this guy
Not InnovativeTM enough
this tendency to monopoly sure is communist of capitalism
He is learning the hard way that AI is terrible for concept art.
AI can only create things that are a mash up of already available ideas, but if you want to create something new and specific to a vision it with turnarounds/details no, it's not going to do it. It is incapable of making small adjustments specific to a vision.
I like to use AI when working on my art specifically as an idea and reference generator. The AI can act as a fun way to jog the brain and come up with new ideas- but I have never been able to get it to give me exactly what I'm looking for.
I want an AI that can intake like 10 drawn pictures of people and then animate an entire cartoon movie. I feel like this is a pretty doable thing tbh
Blaming something on China on
is like jingling keys in front of a babylmao
I also spend hours arguing with the AI
Imagine arguing with a bunch of if...then statements.... Ted was right.
That still leaves open the interpretation that the human mind also is a bunch of if...then statements. Better to point out how it’s not really “intelligence” but closer to a sentiment analyzer with a lot of data
They need to fucking ban commercial use of AI art
it'll come for the musicians next
it's coming one way or the other.. we need to remove the barrier to living without producing gadgets or licensing and just let art be free
Good. Fuck this guy. Fuck AI art.

white people twisting and bending the english language in real-time in order to retcon more words to mean "white people" but upset that their convolution is still limited by 3 dimensions
they got caucasian, semitic, aryan, european, but they just need more yknow? Any suggestions? Maybe we can make the Native American one a thing again? For some reason they stopped using it after 1890
TFW you don't own means of production and become the most wretched of commodities
