I’d like to hear your thoughts on AI art, especially as it pertains to fluffy ponies, and more specifically to this site (fluffy community)
Personally, I’m of two minds on the use of AI assisted art, especially for fluffy content/media. On one hand, if care is not taken it slams right into the uncanny valley, somewhere near the crater left by my little pony.
On the other hand, it can allow anyone to add art to their fluffy stories and more, and with care can look fine. It is undeniable that posts with images get at least one and a half times as many views, if not much more, than the same post without any images.
I can always spot when somethings done by ai though and I prefer real people’s art. I think you’re right about authors being able to use it to add art to their stories though. Pretty big game changer for people who don’t draw and it’s cool we have that option now
A triumph of infallible machine intelligence. A perfect application of cybernetic ideas from Alexei Rykov and socialist realist principles. Proof that the proletkult was just 100 years too early.
I’m primarily against it because of their databases’ mass usage of uncredited art and the general techbro “this will replace artists!” hype. It was fun to mess around with when it was just a silly inaccurate thing vaguely attempting to make an image based off of what you tell it, but now it’s just weird and off-putting to me.
I would say prolly not that useful for this niche community unless it’s being used for backgrounds or maybe to capture the general feel of something. When it comes to fluffies though a shit-covered ass is basically like a watermark of authenticity.
Don’t like it, don’t care for it and actively avoid it despite it being shoved in my face on the more “raunchier” places. Also fuck AI fanboys this shit has the absolute WORST dick riders I’ve ever seen almost to a man they are obsessed with getting one over on artists
Same. AI art has this kind of off quality to it, like it looks good at first glance but theres something just not right about it the more you look at it and I don’t mean things like melty hands it’s like the stuff is too good if that makes any sense.
sadly a lot of people have such strong opinions. Personally i love artists and wish i could draw, but my hands just shake too much. Since I’m also broke, when I need art I tend to use ai or just go without.
This is absolute perfection. Everyone go home. Everyone log out Mr. Owl lock this site down. Don’t allow anything else to be posted. This is the last thing that ever needs to be made for the fluffy fandom
I don’t mind really. But I think that you need to clearly say it is AI generated. Like there was that example of a guy winning an art tournament with AI generated art, that pissed everyone off, and I think this could to. So generally while I’m not hating it, it does need to be clearly tagged and acknowledged as AI art just to make sure.
Do not like AI art… it pretty much causes enough issues for people attempting to cause drama or plaigarism with it… ( Remembers that one Twitter “artist” who tried to claim plaigarism on an artist Livestream Painting a Genshin Fanart by literally just screenshotting the Artist’s Incomplete art and putting it in an AI Art generator)
I find AI generated content offensive- media is about communication and engagement, from one person to another. It could be argued that AI is just a tool towards efficiency but it’s ultimately removing a person’s touch from the equation.
There’s several writers here who I look forward to ingesting their next piece, posted without supplemental art, purely weighted by the strength and quality of their writing alone. And there are several artists here of middling skill that I’ve outright blocked so I no longer have to see their submissions. I’m disinclined to give you further audience if you feel like your writing needs what is a cheap boost.
If I see it used in a form of media, I avoid it. The “Artist”, the story, game, whatever.
I know one day I won’t be able to. That it will become impossible to tell what is done by human hands and what was generated.
im fine with it, as long as people say its AI art. im trying to get into art as a career one day and some people who use AI art can be really- really rude to artist who craft their work by hand.
i think its fine as a ‘proof of concept’ or ‘heres an AI doing of it’, but not to be taken as art, since AI art just takes from other people and mashes it together instead of making something new.
it shouldnt replace art, but for those who cant or dont want to draw and just want a cover image, i see it as fine, as long as they state its AI art
