I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I’m not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.
The context:
This is my sketch.
And this is what the ai output.
I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I’m terrible for using ai at all. I’m also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).
Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that’s my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I’m asking for opinions.
How is that functionally different from a human training on freely available Internet artwork and selling the stuff they created by using said training?
They’re using other artists’ work without crediting them.
It’s that part, right there.
You don’t see it because of the social nihilism you’ve been accumulating.
Idk man maybe try making something yourself and youll instsntly feel the difference
I have, and I personally don’t think AI training is functionally different from the publicly available copyrighted works I used for references to develop the necessary skills to create.
AI is just able to do it much faster than me.
