HELL YEA KILLER KID!!!!

The US government at least seems to be taking AI art (and AI in general) more seriously, so I’m not quite as worried about it as I used to be, at the moment.

That’s the thing about this technology—it could easily replace us slow and easily-fatigued “meat sacks” without carefully-designed regulation to prevent it from going “Terminator” on us. But with proper safeguards and in the right hands, AI could prove to be a useful tool in helping us improve the fundamentals of our art the same way Blender and 3D software can help with, say, figuring out how to do perspective better than just using a ruler to draw perspective lines. For example, @Finasty could compare his own art with the AI-generated versions and see what he could improve anatomy-wise while also figuring out ways to make his own designs more interesting than the often-generic results of AI-generated art.

But yeah, until the ethical concerns are worked out and we are 100% sure this technology won’t enslave or kill off the human race, don’t even use AI as image reference for your Art Portal submissions. Tom Fulp seems to be particularly afraid of this technology, and besides the American government, a lot of Western video game companies like Blizzard are banning their employees from using any AI at all, just showing how controversial this all is right now.

Besides, is art really your passion in life if you take one look at an AI-generated image and think “Yay/No, I never have to draw again”?

Pretty but very generic.

@Finasty Yeah, I noticed the hands merging into the gun or whatever in the second picture. Still, I'm tired of being afraid of new technology that COULD help me make bigger and better art pieces, hopefully we find some balance so that it remains just a "tool" for artists, similar to how we still have 2D animation despite Disney or Dreamwork's best efforts to replace 2D with 3D--ironically, a lot of the best 2D animation these days is on YouTube, Newgrounds, or other social media sites these days, while Japanese anime still seems to mostly do 2D (but maybe use 3D as guides in UfoTable or Studio Trigger's cases).

Man, Ai is getting insane, the only thing that can distinguished from it are fucked up hands

I'm still traumatized by the deformed hands popping up in any of these results

@Finasty it truly is. However, once AI progresses, we might not be able to tell the difference soon enough
