13469701, cameras have been invented. so painting is dead.

^^was a real take at the time.

I think AI generation is certainly going to kill off some kinds of art output, but art? no.

13469683, It can only create for the people of today
Posted by MEAT, Thu Sep-29-22 10:19 AM
And it can only create from digital inputs
I can ask it to create a collage and it’ll spit it out quickly
Meanwhile I know the smell of the book store where I got the magazine, the feel of my scissors, the touch of my paper, and the sound of the snip … Dali doesn’t have access to any real inputs worth having
13469684, I just asked it to make something like Roy Lichtenstein
Posted by MEAT, Thu Sep-29-22 10:28 AM
And the outputs are literally nothing like that
I could “train” it, I suppose, but where’s the value to me in that
The thing survives off programmed key words from tech dweebs with no imagination .. it doesn’t even source from an art database, just whatever will feed the algorithm.
13469697, I haven't tried referencing that way, i've done more descriptive...for instance

13469699, I mean look, art is whatever one calls it, it has intrinsic value
Posted by MEAT, Thu Sep-29-22 11:52 AM
To me, in this case, this software is the art.
Some developer took their knowledge of things and created something that can create something else
Conceptually that’s beautiful
In practice this software is a piece of shit
It’s a reverse Captcha machine posing as something else
13469714, def. agree with the software being the art aspect. But.....
Posted by FLUIDJ, Thu Sep-29-22 03:15 PM
at its core....at least as I understand it(conceding that I may be waaaaay off base in my understanding).....at it's core it's merely an automated database aggregator of publicly available imagery....imagery that WE(the human population) created.

13469715, A decade ago all of the photo apps started coming out with filters
Posted by MEAT, Thu Sep-29-22 03:26 PM
And in those filters they would do amazing (at the time) things
They could turn regular degular pictures into the style of Warhol or the style of Lich or the style of Van Gogh
But there’s no money in that … so they either went the pay route and died or got their IP bought about by the same data hoarding capaitlist that want nothing more than to sell ad space and package the end user as another product to be sold
Another eyeball
They did this by developing algorithms around views, keywords, and indexed hashtags

What you see here is old tech being applied in a different way with none of the care and concern of anything worth calling art

In 5 to 10 years this same tech will be used in the same way to “randomly” generate a virtual experience in the form of immersion or avatars … but the creative aspect of it died 15 years ago

There’s no money in creating, there’s money in IP
So now even the software is shitty and no longer art … this is legitimately just reverse Captcha
13469689, I asked for a picture of Malcolm X
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Thu Sep-29-22 10:51 AM
It gave me this. https://labs.openai.com/e/D6DZzQpxUVN6Zp9XYapObEmg

If yall can't see it I will find another way to show.

I asked for the truth, spoiler alert, it didn't give me paul pierce.

Instead got a stock image of a lady with six fingers holding a sign in a foreign language with disfigured people behind her.

Amazing as a tool. Still takes a creative mind to execute well.
13469755, if two people type the same thing will you get the same results?
Posted by mista k5, Fri Sep-30-22 09:21 AM
if they send them at the same time. i imagine a month apart or so would give different results but if youre sitting side by side and hit send at the same time does it give both the same 4 images or do you each get 4 different ones?
13469866, we should try
