So apparently duolingo completely got rid of sentence discussions, probably because it was competing with duolingo max, their new ai subscription plan. Cause you know when I want to learn a language I think maybe an ai will teach me better than a real human /sarcasm

Anyways I'm abandoning my 672 day streak over this. Anyone have an alternative?

AI Is Not A Replacement For Other Mediums

Today I saw a notification for a comment on my post about my reading group pointing out that the Eiffel Tower didn't exist during the period of the Paris Commune and how that shows that AI art is dumb.

I'm not mad at the person making the comment, but for me at least, that oddness, that offness, that wrongness created by the Robot’s crowd sourced impressionistic inexactness is part of what I like about AI art, part of the reason it is the medium I chose for this project. I live in a society that's increasingly alienated from the “hands on” aspect of things, which leads to an ever increasing sense of floating unreality. This feeling of alienation is best expressed through the weird randomness of AI art, additionally many AI image generator’s vast data sets feel like a sort of connection to a collective unconscious of the internet, where “of course Paris means the Eiffel tower regardless of history because there is no time there, only image and association”

The images of myself, as a beruffled male “damsel in distress” and even the images of calmer or happier scenes are pervaded by the surreality of existence in the present unprecedented moment, where centralization of power and the vast surveillance apparatus of private business and the state are both ever present and irrationally mechanized to the point where systems are layers deep and not fully understood by anyone working on them. This is a project about my petty and deeply human daily annoyances and joys and the way they inevitably run into incomprehensibly vast systems of power and the dark absurdity of that interaction.

If I didn't specifically want the specific feel of AI Art that wouldn't be the method I employ to create these.

I would like to submit the panel from Higurashi: When They Cry's Time Killing Arc chapter 6 as evidence for why AI will never be as good as a human when it comes to making art.

Did you notice the poster in the background? It seems to be some sort of informational poster about dental care aimed at children. And it looks like the poster is characterizing cavities as little imps that wield drills.

This was a very deliberate detail put in the background that Yoshiki Tonogai added because it made sense for the environment but also because it's a silly detail to notice.

No attention is ever given to the poster. Tonogai made this poster for his amusement and for me. He made it for me cause I was looking for interesting background details and found this.

An AI could never do this. It might accidentally make some interesting background detail in an image, but it will never be on purpose nor will it be made for someone to one day discover and get some amount of joy out of it.

I found really important that the QSMP admins had changed Cucuruchito way of speaking potuguese so quick. For those that didn't watched Bagi talking with it the first, Cucuruchito was speaking A LOT of brazilian slang, this was funny at first but then when Bagi started to fight with Cucuchito they said a racist expression. It caught everyone out of guard, you can the shock on Bagi's face, she replied them, still trying not to break the mood, "you better be careful with the way you express yourself", she tried no to draw a lot of attetion for the situation, I imagine because it was a really unexpected situation. I know Cucuruchito is a bot, that's why I am glad it was changed so fast, I think is another example that of AI reproducing a unexpected human behavior, unfortunately many brazilians still use racist expressions as slang, and training a AI to reproduce this pattern of speechs can be pretty complex if you also wanted to discern which expressions are racist and which ones are not.

Again, I want to acknowledge that it wasn't something QSMP was expecting and they made action to change the way Cucuchito speak in less than a day. I think it is important that we can talk about this kind of situations without trying to paint someone as "guilty" or "innocent"

You know, when we talk ai art, the common critique is "it's ugly" or the theft, but there's another issue in my mind, even with those removed. For me it can be beautiful, it can be made with open source content, but there's one thing in particular I find missing and that's the journey.

When I see art in a group that's small, I usually boost and read the artists' thoughts, look at the small little details put in because they were having fun with it, ask questions, give my feedback. A lot of the fun is seeing where the passions lie the fun had through the piece.

When art is done through pure ai, you don't get this. What you get instead is a finished piece where the details aren't there because the person was passionate; it's because the ai thinks that it fits the description. Art has always been a form of expression, and as such, seeing the expression removed feels empty; I feel like I'm not getting the full effect.

This is another reason why I tell artists who even use their own art for the system to use it as a tool, not a replacement. Because as a tool, you can correct things, build off it, or use it to help with things you have issues with.

It's like when you take an image into photoshop after you make it, it makes things easier, but you still have work you put in your own little touches here and there. When you go 100% ai you just lose that the details get lost, the care and heart drains away more with each image, especially since it starts referencing itself.

I feel this issue isn't talked about as much as it should be and as a result it kinda doesn't capture the essence of the issue in its entirety.

What's you opinion about using AI like chatgpt as a tool for writing?

Not talking about just using it to write your story for you! I mean as a tool.

For example, sometimes when I'm bored I give it a stupid prompt and ask it to write for me. It does a terrible job and doesn't actually make what I imagine. Then I make my prompt more and more specific, until I get to a point it actually wrote something kinda like I wanted but still badly.

At that point I'm frustrated enough with the output to be like "fuck it I'll do it myself" and just completely rewrite the whole thing. Just get over the first draft writing block and jump straight into a second draft. (Haven't put online anything I did using that method and haven't used it for anything that I plan to put out)

There's also using it for research, like I recently asked it to give me a list of improv exercises because I couldn't really find a good list online just by normal googling and I'm writing something about improv, and then asked it to generate a bunch of words related to improv and acting and other stuff in my story to find inspiration for a title for the story.

And then there's using it to generate ideas which is a really tricky thing, because we all know nothing it generates is original. But I think there's methods you can use to get inspired without actually stealing other's ideas - like asking it in general for an idea for a conflict, and then trying to apply it to your own story in your way.

I feel like, in the right way, it could actually be a useful tool without taking over creativity.

I'm also wandering if you think there's a difference between using it for published writing and fanfiction.

Every time I see AI art discourse I think of my new media teacher in college talking about remix culture.

I think about how much I love collage and how much it inspired me to keep going with art because sometimes all I can do is cut and paste.

I think if taking a few tracks I loved from a downloaded album and learning to use audacity to make something new.

I think about how much capitalism kills art.

So much so that we can't even agree that it's more messed up that life could be ruined by sharing creative energy.

No one will engage with the fact that maybe, just maybe, it's messed up that a form of creation even has the possibility to make artists unable to live.

It makes me sad when people say it's theft, abuse of other's work, lazy... It's art.

It's as much art as when I'm drawing, painting, cutting up magazines, folding zines, making a mix tape, over painting a thrift store find, making book art.

The issue is it shouldn't be paywalled, it shouldn't be censored, or centralized. Just like the Internet itself honestly.

Human beings should all feel free to create and remix any fucking thing they want.

The AI algorithm is not the problem, it is as it has always been, capitalism.

Don't want to lose your livelihood to a machine? Consider those who would use that machine against you in the first place. Side with free open source systems that do not generate profit. Actually consider why the problems exist and stop scapegoating and dismiss real actual tools for artists who are not traditional.

AI can make lovely stuff, I use it for references and to speed run sketches sometimes. I can input my art into certain things and run variations to find new directions for a sketch. I can visualize ideas, I can make something.

There's no reason anyone should be opposed to that.

But then, people hate collage too. People hate Tumblr gifsets and image posts made from screenshots. Those old composite gifs are "cringe" but they also took a hell of a lot of work. Just stitching together a fantasy.

Can anyone give us a good explanation for why people say what AI does is stealing art? We only know arguments about why it's not, we wanna try & hear another perspective on the issue cuz otherwise we'll just end up parroting other people's arguments

No pro-AI arguments please, we already know them really well & they're not what we wanna learn about

I feel like the issue most voice actors should be focused on when it comes to AI isn’t whether or not AI is good or bad, it’s why are so many companies hellbent on replacing them with AI.

The conversation shouldn’t be “Here’s what AI is and isn’t” it should be “Hey, all the big name companies are trying to recreate your voice with AI without your consent. That’s pretty fucked up.”

I wanted to make one thing clear.

I create images with the AI solely and exclusively FOR FUN. I don't do it to make money or for other reasons because I don't care. For me it's just a game. Every time I publish images created with the AI I always specify that they are images created with the AI because I don't think it's right to take credit for something that I didn't create with my own hands. For me it's just a GAME.

Same goes for my friend @shambelle97 .

She has been harassed and insulted several times for having created images with the AI, even though she, just like me, only does it for fun and not for profit or for other reasons.

The AI will never replace a hand-made drawing for two reasons:

1) The AI is not perfect and never will be. Sometimes there are imperfections in some images and other times the results are horrifying images.

2) Any person with a functioning brain knows that a drawing made by hand is more rewarding than a drawing created with the AI.

Make up with your mind and do an examination of conscience.

A really interesting(and depressing) reaction to AI Art is how a lot of the anti-AI crowd subtly reveals their true thoughts on manual labour(ers) and unskilled labour(ers)

“AI is taking away the fun jobs!” “Why do we have to live in a world where AI does creative work and we do manual work?” “Robots should be doing the stupid jobs and humans the creative ones, not the other way around” “There’s something dystopian about how the first jobs to be replaced is the Arts”

It’s subtle, but there’s a clear implication in these statements(all of whom are paraphrased from actual comments that I’ve read) that creative and intellectual jobs are superior to manual and unskilled labour, and not just that, but that these jobs *should be replaced* while creative jobs shouldn’t. Bare minimum, it at least implies that manual and unskilled labour being replaced isn’t as important as creative labour being replaced

It doesn’t occur to those who make these statements that people who work those jobs may actually enjoy them, or that the people who work these jobs rely on them to survive, or that manual and unskilled labour have taken the brunt of automation-caused job loss historically, because to *them*, these jobs aren’t worthy of consideration and automation only becomes a societal threat when creative jobs are at risk

It’s a horrid and elitist worldview, and yet it pops up over and over again when AI art discourse appears

I listened to a story "generated" by an AI and it was bizarre.

The story itself, while worded professionally, made a lot of mistakes my creative writing teacher would have smacked me for.

There was very little cohesion, plot threads were left dangling, the core theme and motivation changed on a dime.

Basically it was like listening to a creepypasta written by someone with the vocabulary of an English major and the writing prowess of a small child.

This was only a short story, I'm certain that given a length of a full TV show or book series the flaws and mistakes would become far more evident.

However, despite these flaws i can absolutely see media executives replacing human writers with these AI.

AI won't replace art itself, people will continue to be creative regardless of machine learning and its rapid advances. AI will replace industry artists and automate art industry jobs, among other much more dangerous consequences, if we don't push together for proper legislation and regulation.

These two statements aren't contradictory. This is where our focus should be on, collectively: as writers, illustrators, designers, programmers, even as hobbyists. And yes, this includes AI users. Y'all should be the loudest mofos on this topic if nothing else, as active consumers of the product these tech companies are offering.

We shouldn't resign or conform ourselves with corporations dictating OUR playing field rules. Simple as.

I want to preface this by saying I am not endorsing the use of AI. I just have questions about people’s thoughts on it.

How is an AI learning from other people’s art any different from a human doing the same?

The reason I’m reluctant to ask about this is because I draw comics myself, and my technique isn’t great, but it’s improving. I don’t use AI, mostly because I’m not good at getting what I want from a prompt. A lot of the artists I follow are vehemently against AI use entirely however, and anyone who suggests it could be useful as a tool is vilified. Honestly I’d love if I could get a computer to make my drawings “neater.” I still made the basic concept, right?

If I was to look at someone else’s art in order to use it as a style reference or a reference on how to draw a certain object, clothing, body part, etc., nobody would care. All artists use references. How is an AI learning from other works different? For all the people that tag their work “No AI,” are humans not allowed to look at it either? Once we see something, it influences us, whether we realize it or not.

Again, I’m not strictly endorsing anything. I’m just asking an honest question.
