Enkers, (edited ) in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

It bothers me in the same way art done by children bothers me, which is to say not much, but it’s usually pretty devoid of aesthetic value. Because they (AI, not children) draw on a huge variety of styles, they often also feel extremely generic, and like they don’t have any style of their own.

Some of them have been kind of funny because the poster had some sort of decent comedic idea. I’m happier to see this type.

I dont mind it. Its fascinating.

Fedizen, in You have a magic pill, which de-ages you by 20 years. You can take it once in your life only, so long as you are at least 20. What age — past, current or future — do you reckon is best to take it?

45 for sure.

I blocked ai communities wherever they showed up, it’s not that I hate it it just has no value to me, no substance. It’s like looking at one of billions of marginal steps some algorithm takes to refine itself.

I just set up a little repo there!

Foxy Gestures

Buck, in What are some must have Firefox plugins?

Ublock origin Ghostery Containers (so darn useful) Tampermonkey if you know JavaScript, little tweaks can make some sites much more usable

Custom Context search (forgot the actual name of it and I’m on mobile now). It allows you to add custom searches to your right click, so if you select text and right click, you can search for it on any site with search functionality.

I’m fed up with it, as in: I can recognize AI generated images with ease, and they all look kinda same-y. I have nothing against people using ai or posting the content, but at the same time I think it’s simply bad art

Toneswirly,

Agreed. AI art is just not appealing at all

Hoozzer, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I feel like there are too many ai art communities tbh, I constantly block them and there always seems to be more.

“de-ages” I assume means genetically? You don’t get to go back in time.

Today then.

HonoraryMancunian,

Eh, it’s hypothetical, interpret it how you like!

TheAgeOfSuperboredom, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

It doesn’t really bother me, but like you I am bored of it and I generally ignore it, or block communities if I’m seeing too much of it.

It is really cool that the models can generate fairly detailed images, but they’re all so similar and… boring. I once saw someone describe it like corporate art. It just tries to imitate something popular in a very mediocre way. You can keep re-training it, but it can still only imitate.

Still, if people are into it then that’s ok too. I have used it at work on occasion to create stupid little icons for internal tools I’ve built, so I guess there’s some little bit of utility.

My guess is that it’ll be used for a while for cheap and low effort branding, but soon companies will want to hire real artists again to differentiate themselves from the ML spam.

perviouslyiner,

It’s always interesting when they include specific details in the prompt that just get ignored!

IMO, thats sort of the main use I see for AI image generation (and a lot of other “art”-AIs). There are plenty of cases where a graphic is needed that doesn’t need to be original, nor have any meaningful thought put into it. This could be a small icon that would normally be a free peice of stock art or programmer art, or it could be adding a unimportant backdrop to some character art that would otherwise just be left blank. Not all graphics have to be “art” and things that are “art” don’t have to be 100% original and hand crafted.

It’s because people are lazy. It needs extra work to generate something non generic. Also a lot of people using AI have no sense of beauty, as without AI, they are not very creative.

Using stable diffusion on a1111 myself, with controlnet, regional prompter, different checkpoints, a ton of Lora and inpainting, one can create much much better stuff. It’s not harder that way, just takes longer than copy pasting prompts and hitting the generate button.

I know this is true, because I see this daily by now. The amount of generic images uploaded to for example Civitai is proof of it.

paysrenttobirds, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I think it’s not cool unless it’s funny. I’m trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don’t even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.

Just_Pizza_Crust, in Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

Just out of curiosity, which new ones have you seen today? I’ve noticed ai images being included in parts of memes, but it’s mostly been as a replacement for low effort photoshopping.

Lots of people are treating this like you would go back in time and get a do over, rather than being de-aged.

I’m assuming that de-aging would roll back any age related aches and pains, but not affect my memory, other than possibly making it better. It would give me more energy, so I’d be overweight and young instead of overweight and old :D

I’d take it at around my late 30s to early 40s to get back to my late teens to early 20s. My body was fully developed, so I wouldn’t have to go through puberty or have too many teenage hormones, and I’d have enough energy to get in shape again.

If it de-aged me by putting me back into my body from the time, then it would be when I was 42. 22 was when I was in the best shape of my life, and before I picked up a few long lasting injuries. I found out in my early 30s that I’ve got a chronic illness too, and it hit me hard.

I’d get the doctors and dentist to work on the health issues that I didn’t know about when I was young, and stop them from becoming serious, and generally get healthier.

Most importantly, I’d take my kid out and do all the things that we haven’t been able to do together :)

Dkarma,

Good point! I didn’t consider this. In this case I’d probably just start taking better care of my body now and wait to take it until the pain gets real bad or I find out I have cancer.

No earlier than 45. Otherwise you’re headed back into territory where your body and brain are still developing – fuck with that and you might not feel right in your own body.

HonoraryMancunian,

Good shout

otp,

Yeah, it’s gotta be in the late 40’s.

By then, you’ve got all the aches and pains, and you’ll know better to take care of things like your posture! Lol
