Alt text: Using AI is the coolest new way to let people know you have no imagination of your own
Jokes on you, I don’t need AI to tell me that. I couldn’t make a good build in Minecraft if you held me at gunpoint.
I like these apps to help me come up with ideas for different story concepts.
I dont have an imagination of my own and still I dont use AI
yes, that’s exactly me
who needs imagination when you have algorithms to do the thinking for you? 😜
This was chat GPTs attempt at writing a funny reply to this post.
‘Write me a reply, that gets upvoted by the Lemmy OG IT bubble’ ;)
GPT: “What’s Lemmy, lol”
Not even the AI listens to our gibberish
They’re a replacement for skills and knowledge, not imagination.
This is why people point out that they lack skills and knowledge.
I am all of the issues to some degree and AI outputs to me* just seem like dairy-free maple-coconut water cheese. So personally I’ll just stick with nothing (substantial) until the format/workflow that I’m looking for (hopefully) becomes viable for me.
Luckily writing a book or painting hyper-realism are not the only type of creativity.
(also funnily enough, AI currently is just a different set of skills/knowledge especially for the better results or wrangling custom inputs/training/adjustments etc)
*= Particularly what I can run locally, w/a 1050Ti. But also just really most examples of AI (aside from maybe the stuff that is either extremely overproduced/hand-picked or potentially faked)
I prefer to do it the old fashioned way:
ChatGPT is great for yapping about patriotism for a school history essay, but It’s completely unable to write anything useful or sensible. So I’ll keep on doing things like art, storywriting and programming myself, but I’ll use whatever cheats I have available for the pointless things I’m forced to do.
Excuse me, I have no imagination but I don’t resort to AI
Based!
AI art is real art because people get mad at it
Thomas Kinkade agrees. Or his ghost-artists do, anyway.
AI art is real art because people made it.
Anyone can make a work.
Not every work is art.

You’ve still gotta be good at prompt engineering to make great AI art.
Like you said - it’s a tool which requires nuanced skill like any other art. It just happens to lower the barrier to entry a pretty significant amount
You know what, I’ll accept this.
Look up what people used to say about digital art and tell me if history repeats itself or not
I was actually there. The backlash against digital art usually came from:
- people who were otherwise already elittist towards one or two painting styles and media,
- art gallery regulars (they can’t sell JPEGs or PSDs),
- poor people as back then graphics tablets were way more expensive and alternatives to Wacom also worse (the patents for their battery-free pens haven’t expired yet), thus it was cheaper to buy paint and/or markers.
😮💨
I mean in all fairness, the difference is way more significant. Going from drawing to drawing on a screen is a bit different from drawing to typing text and letting a computer actually do most the work for you.
You can do wild shit that’s barely possible with any other tools.
You can feed in images instead of text, or alongside it, and turn blobby sketches into photoreal renders.
You can describe contradictory nonsense and get a decent effort to square the circle.
You can keep saying more, more, more, and get exaggerations revealing an adjective’s visual essence.
… but yeah, folks keep posting “woman naked anime” five hundred brainless images at a time. So few people are even making comics with this shit. Do they not understand each panel is its own little drawing? You piece together what you need. Story exists in the edit. Not even the people with a paragraph of “Remember, if you lose–” dialog in ev-er-y fucking image have figured out they can just show that now.
I’m pro AI at this point. Any use it has in the real world have and will continue regardless if AI art somehow gets restricted. AI is choosing who gets jobs, doing the work previously done by humans, and companies will continue this trend.
Being able to create art that is good and makes someone money is already a 1% kinda thing (I don’t mean money-wise, I mean just the ability to earn money as an artist at all). If we can’t save the rest of humanity, artists are just going to have to join us.
the indomitable human spirit: nuh uh :3
I believe that people with a good imagination actually make use of Ai better, they can generate way more interesting prompts.
Then the choice of where to do inpainting and outpainting with further prompts is a very artistic decision.
lmao the proompter cope in this thread is real
Maybe other people just enjoy something and there’s no reason to put them down for it. I wish I knew something you enjoyed so I could make fun of you for it. Sad person.
ah yes im so very sorry, i should have kept the feelings of people who gladly feed on stolen labor and exploitation of the global south for their slop generator to work, in mind uwu
fuck outta here lmaoo
people who gladly feed on stolen labor and exploitation of the global south for their slop generator to work
What is this even supposed to refer to
besides the fact that the models are trained on stolen, copyrighted work, the output is trash without millions of man hours painstakingly tuning it: https://www.cjr.org/tow_center/qa-uncovering-the-labor-exploitation-that-powers-ai.php
of the global south
I meant this part specifically.
I already know y’all think storing the .01% of data derived from the images is theft. What’s the labor specifically being stolen from “the global south”??Edit: my bad for skimming the whole comment lol, I see now
Cope more LMAOOOOOOO
