Generative AI

It'll be better when the results only point to the company that paid to be the result and it's not what anyone even wants, but the AI engine won't even mention anything that's not in the 'paid advertiser' results.

Hey Siri, where can I get a steak in my neighborhood?
"I found 6 McDonalds locations in your neighborhood."
 
Was really taken aback in an art group I'm in. Just casual watercolour.

Someone asked if there was an app that could take photos and reduce them to line work or silhouettes to project/lightbox for the painting sketch.

I offered several examples and how easy it is.

Someone else offered solutions.

Third person rolls in with ChatGPT can do it. Gets all the credit and praise.

Fuck you, too.

Goddamn, and it's so easy and there's so many ways to do it and you learn so much in the process before you get to work in the next steps, too. Honestly, ChatGPT can't start charging people through the rectum fast enough, I can't wait til they start monetizing all this and we're out here like ancient artisans making shit by hand.
 
I know it's not the same thing, but there are some uses of AI in art that just feel like when Photoshop added a color select tool.

I've gotten infinite use out of being able to select and remove backgrounds or isolate objects, and I wonder if there was some old 1980s artist who was like "I spent years mastering the ability to highlight an orange!"
 
I mean if you really wanted to lightbox a sketch, you can just lightbox it.

Here's my artistic criticism on even using Adobe to do it: real illustration is translating and informing what you, you the artist, see and appreciate.

Just letting Illustrator or PS lineart it is that algorithms version of what to distill the data to..I doubt someone who isn't even aware we've had these tools for decades is going to take the time to learn how to adjust everything to get "their vision".

Lightbox the picture to trace it? At least they're going to be making the calls on what they want to render.

That's me just being an art school asshole, though.

This is the sort of thing that if the tools weren't built on stolen data I could get behind. I know how to isolate an object in photoshop. I fuckin HATE doing it. Though I do find it helps me better understand the dimensions of it if I do it in Procreate where I can physically trace the shape of the thing I'm isolating with the pencil. Doing commercial work having a tool that does quick, accurate isolation is super helpful. The challenge is finding one that wasn't built on stolen data for it to work. (And there's something to be said about knowing how to do something before you pass it off to technology in case the tech ever fails you.)
 
The internet really wants me to know there's leaked images of Cyclops from Avengers Doomsday. I've seen the stills.... or have I? Is it real? If I click on it or do any digging am I just going on a wild AI goose chase? Once again, I have no idea what's real online.

Sometimes it's not even AI. Fake 'concept' trailers have been a thing on YouTube for the last decade, where people just string together perfectly curated stills or fractions-of-a-second-long scenes from different movies to create a fake trailer. Drives me insane and I immediately block any channel that does it.
 
New fun thing: authors are getting AI-generated marketing from fake book clubs now. I feel bad cos I am 100% sure I've deleted messages from real people at some point the past few months but it's gotten relentless. And I feel bad for authors who aren't trained to spot the tells cos every one of these is like a smoke machine up your ass - I know why CEOs LOVE AI, and it's because it tells you you're prettier and smarter than all the other people in your field until you believe it. (I want to share the latest one cos it's hilarious, but it's LONG and I can't find an accordion option on here - am I just missing it?)
 
Okay, fixed what I did wrong here. It's the 3 dots beside the 'insert table' option, then the eyeball with the line through it.
