@ArishMell If I didn't say it then the interrogative framing for it is pointless. I stated a fact of of AI being just a more efficient copy, or plagiarism as the poster called it.

That's a mentally traced image I made, I did not create the character and I did not create the pose. I looked at an already existing image from a cartoon and copied it into my sketchbook so I could reference it without having to be online. You just called it art, why? Because it took me longer than a machine, because I was less efficient in the process?

@Jackaloftheazuresand I don't understand your linking art with "efficiency" as if an industrial process or an office procedure.

I called it art by simple definition. That you copied a character you found does not really matter. You created the image by your ability, not merely asked a computer to concoct a picture. That you made the effort is what counts.

Perhaps the computer might have been quicker. That does not matter.

What matters is that you - a real person - drew the picture; not a machine.

@BohoBabe Why do you say that? You don't want to see dogs on scooters getting chased by cops?

@0uijaFinger Exactly my own words since people need to focus on the programmers and designers themselves rather than the AI itself for anything....

@VladG94 what?

@BillyMack Did you hear me? I said as an advocate for AI myself, I voluntarily support it within my own free will, and you can't be paternalistic onto me about it to be honest!!!! Did you get my message kid?

@VladG94 huh?

@caccoon You give me the ick....

@VladG94 good

@BohoBabe We made AI also. And unlike the crazy splatter painting, it does more.

I don't think I have a mind for art. I can see that Monet and Van Gogh are better than the splatter paintings, but that is it. I also like to joke about Picasso now and then. In my home there is only photographs of loved ones, crosses on the wall, and books. What I want to know is the date and time of when the art was done, and what for.

@emiliya But a human doesn't make AI art. They just type in some prompts, then the system creates an image.

@BohoBabe AI was made by man. And man tells it to make what he wants.

@Younameit It's basically a mash up of everything it's "seen" during training. It couldn't, say, create a new art movement from scratch

The controversy is that in order to "create" it has to be fed lots and lots of actual art, and more often than not that art is fed to it and stored internally in the model without the consent of the original author

Studio Ghibli for instance got p*ssed off at OpenAI (iirc, or another of those companies) exactly for that reason

@Elessar Still not original
