I was on stable diffusion art and one of my comments got removed for saying the OP didn’t “make” the AI generated art. But he didn’t make shit the AI made it, he typed in a description and hit enter. I think we need a new word for when someone shared art an AI made, like they generated it or something. It feels insulting to actual artists to say you made art with AI
there’s also sometimes deeper collaboration with image generation, where you edit the result in like krita and then send it through the generator again to smooth out the edges of the touch-ups.
i occasionally do work where i cut up existing images to make new ones, like making a person in a particular pose by pulling an head from one image, a torso from another, an arm and background features from a third etc, then i would painstakingly color match and blend it all together with hours of filter, clone brush and single-pixel edit work. with image generation i can get a blending and lighting pass for my image in a few seconds. it’s not perfect but the speed makes the work a lot easier.
Seems like it would be buch easier to take up drawing and painting 😁
Jk, to each their own artistic process.
i’m no artist, and i only do this stuff for me and my friends :) i’ve tried drawing but my fine motor skills are lacking. i see it as a sort of mashup art, which closely watches the way i see image generation as well.
What you describe sounds like the work of an artist. No need to be known or selling stuff or anything, if you create stuff you’re an artist.
