    AI art is always so immediately obvious. I understand the temptation. Oh wow, I can jazz up this throw-away post that no one really cares about.

    But everyone that sees that post immediately notes oh its ai art again. Because our brains are picking up on all the details. So it kind of defeats and distracts from the point.

    There might be ways of encorporating ai generated images into things, but it’s not gonna be by just generating an image with a prompt and running with that as your main graphic.

      I guarantee you’ve seen AI generated images that you didn’t know were AI. It’s survivorship bias, you’re only seeing the ones that are bad as immediately AI.

      Never say never. I wouldn’t be too sure whether or not it remains obvious when AI is being used, and for how long. Right now though it’s definitely nothing that should be used as a final result. Really good way to get inspiration for moods and motives though

        I don’t think it’s even good as inspiration, since it pretty much always just ends up looking fairly generic. Better to spend some time crawling the internet for more interesting and unique inspo

          No offense, but I strongly disagree. For an initial inspiration sure, arch daily is still my go-to as well. But once you have some idea of what you want to propose to a client it’s honestly been a gamechanger to me. Much easier to get specific using prompts instead of searching some tags hoping someone already made, photographed, uploaded and tagged what you are looking for. In terms of how generic it is; so is most of the stuff on say Pinterest. I think it’s how you combine and implement what you find/generate. No matter the process. At the agency I work at AI image generation has been a great tool for the past half year. The release of Midjourney 4 made it viable for us, although I prefer StableDiffusion. Either way, I would not want to miss it.

            It’s gonna be an eventuality as the technology gets better. AI made games coded by AI, art assets drawn by AI and stories written by AI. The only thing that might protect developers would be new laws against this. Unfortunately, if legislators didn’t help protect horse drawn carriage drivers back then, they sure as shit won’t help protect us artist now. I can forsee that the only ones being able to afford buying AI made games, other AIs. With humans being delegated to doing hard labour earning pennies on the dime. AI is inevitable.

      it’s ironic, since AI generated always looks polished - but the identification is mostly context-based i.e. we know nobody would pay anyone for making that illustration from scratch: because it’s a throw-away

      illustrations will be ubiquitous but mostly shit, only the shit will be more polished

      so if an illustration is highly polished but otherwise garbage, it’s AI with high probability - because the craftsmanship of the generator exceeds the artistic taste and development of the user
