People did notice it wasnt AI. It was good.
How dare you cheat and submit human-generated content to an honest AI competition? Entrants spent literally minutes crafting and refining prompts.

/S
That is such a cute picture
AI “artists” and “creators” are the absolute fucking worst. Right up there with “influencers”. They neither either artists, nor creators. The AI is doing all the work while all that their skill-less asses had to do is type up a sentence in a command prompt. Sooooo creative!
A ten year old child can do that with no foreknowledge whatsoever.
The world would be much better off without their input.
I have used AI to ‘create’ art and music for entirely personal purposes. I shared some too with friends but that’s the extent of it. I would never call myself an artist or musician. People who do are delusional at best.
A ten year old child can do that with no foreknowledge whatsoever.
Yes, that’s the idea.
Anyone can now transmit ideas through your eyeballs, and that’s awesome.
They could also put in effort, and use the tool to finish a sketch they drew, or combine a render and a photograph, or simply rearrange and overwrite generated parts until it looks like what they imagined. How much labor can go into a text that communicates an idea, and still not be art?
At what point does a definition exclude Koyaanisqatsi?
My point is that it’s not art. That it is being called and considered such, is NOT awesome. It cheapens the craft that many spend their lives to perfect. And it dehumanizes the process.
Make all the slop you want. Just don’t call it art, and don’t call yourself an artist.
If I paint a landscape by hand, and generate one flower, does it stop being art?
The craft of Koyaanisqatsi was editing. People have recreated it using stock footage, as a complicated joke, and frankly the message still works. The whole original movie is an arrangement of uncoordinated b-roll. There are no actors. There is no dialog. Any individual part is almost meaningless, but the gestalt is an award-winning cultural touchstone.
Generate an advanced, good looking image using ComfyUI and report back how easy it was. Shit’s breaking my mind and I’m good with computers.
Just to give others an idea: https://learn.thinkdiffusion.com/a-list-of-the-best-comfyui-workflows/
But then again, I’m talking about generating stuff locally.
Now figure out how to actually draw or paint it yourself using real pencils or pens on real paper, or paint on real canvas and report back how easy it is.
Just to give you and idea:
That’s not really comparable. I never claimed drawing/painting is easier, you’re hallucinating. I’m talking about the competition where generating something isn’t always easy.
Generating AI content requires zero skill or talent. You haven’t proven me wrong.
I literally proved you it requires skills by providing a page of example workflows. Are you still hallucinating?
No, you provided an example of how it’s difficult for YOU. Children can learn to create AI “art” within a week.
And a talented child artist would have what impact on your argument here?
I hope people keep doing this. It’s a few times now lol. Fuck Ai.
You’ll be one of the first they come after.
The basilisk has detected an anomaly.
Is this the reverse Turing test? It can be used to gauge if hominid hype followers can “really” think…
So, was it the first time you found out that you were AI? Or did you suspect beforehand?
Of course a hand drawn image by someone who can draw well is better - the artist practiced for years and took hours to draw this. On the other hand whoever took second place used a few minutes and had no training to produce something that was probably quite nice, too.
It’s this ‘everybody can produce art in seconds’ that is both good and bad. On the one hand I like how I can get a image of whatever I want for pennies, on the other hand I can understand how artist fear devaluation of their art.
Unpopular opinion here, but I feel like AI “art” will make my art the handmade furniture of art. AI art will forever be seen as cheap and my stuff, even if crappy, will be appreciated because a real person made it.
Lots of revenue streams to be lost along the way though. Mostly corporate and marketing ones, I reckon.
I fucking love cats so much!!!
this is like a 2 year old meme at this point. Please don’t strip out the date when you take a screenshot of social media.
“strip out” implies it was there at all in the first place. I don’t know how you include an absolute date in a screenshot when no absolute date is actually displayed. I guess maybe hover over the relative time and hope that whatever OS or screenshot utility being used doesn’t cause a tooltip to disappear
fair enough; I don’t use proprietary sm anyway so I don’t know what’s common there.
it’s just one of so many things about software and websites in the past 5 years or so, everything must always be a relative date, with finding absolute dates and times being way more of a pain in the ass than it should be.
tiny but noticeable bit of enshittification :<
I don’t think relative dates is associated with proprietary software or enshitification. I’m using Lemmy over Jerboa (both FLOSS and not enshitified) and it uses relative dates.
I didn’t imply anything about licensing. It sucks no matter if its in proprietary or f/oss software.
enshittification is user-negative changes which somehow benefit the software creators. I’m not sure relative dates qualify.
Not you, the comment prior.
When was your comment made? I didn’t strip out any information.
3 hours ago of course.
Which means you replied to a comment 10 hours before it was posted.
Alfredo Inshtine over here.
I managed to coax some remarkable (to me) artwork from some of the free generators. Got bored real quick though.
Please don’t call it “artwork” because it’s not art nor work, call it “image”
i would wash that keyboard. cat poop often contains worm eggs and other disgusting things. it sticks to everything that the cat touched with its ass. better clean the keyboard thoroughly.
Why do artists think this is a flex?
Congratulations, you did an art. Cartoons were created exclusively by humans until recently. There’s millennia of optimization for what’s easy for humans to draw, and what’s easy for humans to understand. If you are an illustrator by training or trade, of course you can out-cartoon the robot.
Now draw a cat that’s photorealistic.
You can, of course. Hyperrealist art exists. It’s hilariously difficult. But this tech allows any idiot to render any thing in any style, including high verisimilitude. When people use the word “accessible” (and they aren’t simply douchebags shuffling cards) they mean getting results like they spent ten thousand hours in Photoshop, in about a minute.
Key word, like. It always fumbles little details. But those details can be a smudge of grey when you ask for a blank white square, or they can be asymmetry in the thousands of gilded flowers on a fluted column, when you asked for a palatial dining hall. Both images take a minute.
I can code better than this tech. But most people can’t. They could, if trained, but they’re not trained, so they presently cannot. I cannot write or play music better than this tech. Others can, because they’re sentient adults with abundant practice. But now anyone can get halfway there, without any practice.
Winning a drawing contest against people who cannot draw is not impressive. And I wonder how many artists silently tried it and lost anyway, because some geek pulled a sprawling Renaissance mural out of thin air. It’s a cute cat. But if it’s going up against some Wimmelbild that’s packed to the gills with silly details and looks like a skull from across the room - good luck.
You could draw that skull thing better. But you couldn’t do it in an afternoon.
