  Right, the only value and purpose of arts and literature, it’s creation and enjoyment, is to make a product to sell or consume a story. What a foolish opinion.

    Stable Diffusion is open source and free to be used by anyone. A lot of people have used it for creation and enjoyment. It cuts artists out of the loop and enables a lot of ordinary people to create art. I see this as a huge win.

      enables a lot of ordinary people to create art.

      Exactly the type of fucking idiot that’s never created art in their life.
      “Art is paintings of horses”-ass motherfucker.
      The reason you can’t make art isn’t because you’re bad at drawing or painting and need AI to help you, it’s because you don’t have the creativity to overcome those limitations. No matter what words you put into stable diffusion, you will only create pictures, not art - there’s no meaning underlying the piece, you just typed “t-rex with massive tits” and called the output art because you can’t tell the difference.

        its not even that they don’t have the creativity - its that people have been so poisoned by commodity capitalism that they feel like their art ‘doesn’t count’ unless it looks like ‘real art’ that can make money

        people are so isolated from the creative process that they think they can dump it entirely, as if all it is is just knowing how to scribble on a page

        Well people like what comes out of Stable Diffusion. Which is perfectly fine.

      Wait you think this is a good thing?

      You think it’s a good thing that people will be even more unable to express themselves in our capitalist hell scape?

      You REALLY don’t see how this will bring on yet more horrors?

        Quite the opposite. AI allows people to express themselves in interesting ways. There are communities of people online sharing beautiful images and videos they created with Stable Diffusion. Why is that bad?

      I agree. Anyway look at this cool picture I just made using AI.

  I would like you to know that if you say this, or other things you said in this thread to my face, I would punch the smug out of you.

  Remember this post in a few years when your billion dollar theft machines have shut down for being huge wastes of money and effort and the few survivors, if any, have been sectioned off into expensive subscription models that you are priced out of because they need to make the literal billions of dollars it costs to make and run them back at some point.

  This is the same-ass bubble as NFTs and crypto and it will also die.

    why so angry?

      Because it’s a useful emotion.

  If AI becomes responsible for producing Disney musicals, then they probably won’t have any gay-coded characters anymore. What about Scar? What about Ursula? What about Gaston? What about Shang??

  We need human artists because humans are capable of sneaking content that is actually societally beneficial into what would otherwise be soulless corporate products.

    How were Gaston and Shang coded gay?

  Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand why people engage with art in the first place.

  • istanbullu@lemmy.ml ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    People love Stable Diffusion, and use it a lot. Why do you think is that?

    source

    • ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Because most people don’t engage with art critically. See Marvel movies. Maybe others are fine with remixed slop but I am not.

    It has already happened in our lifetime with medical illustration. This is pre-gpt. It will just now spread. Are generated diagrams worse in subtle ways? Yes, but not enough to matter for the difference in first or ease of use.

      Nah. Association of Medical Illustrators

      I have a Masters in Medical Art. (late 1980s) 35 years ago some were saying ‘we won’t need medical artists because of photography’ and then a few years later ‘because of personal computers’. This isn’t the case. But when the general public has access to a tool they love to talk about how a discipline is going away because ‘now anyone can do it’.

        Yeah sure dude, let me just ask my mom who worked 30 years in the industry doing it.
