@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org This is either complimentary or insulting and i am unsure which.... checks if hands are visible

Insulting.

@Gavy Au bout d'un moment, va falloir aller vérifier si @davidrevoy ne serait pas un androïde spécialisé dans l'art.

@Gavy @Vilrax Ha, ben ça m'interesse aussi pour le coup si j'ai un concepteur. J'ai une assez grande liste de bug-report sur mes biais et ce *#@! de corps. Assez pour me demander si j'étais pas un projet fait le vendredi soir sur un coin table après un pot de départ un peu trop arrosé et publié à la hâte avant de partir en vacances. 😆

Beautiful artwork!

Fuck AI generated art (mostly).
It's a cool technology... but stealing artistic talent from artists to generate "art" is BS.

I'm glad artist like you exist who refuse to use that stuff.

Hi David. Have you tried to block those blokes by a filter?

You might even use the phrase to make it more precise.

My recomondation would be to put a filter in place with the web-app (framapiaf.org/filters hopefully gets you there directly). In my experiece this is the easiest way to create and manage them.

Hope that helps. Enjoy the day and please do not let people like her/him get to you (easier said then done, I know. My whish and hope is to be able to cheer you up). 😘

Looking at the screenshot makes me believe it's from the birdsite.

@davidrevoy you know that you have a loyal community over here. Since the owner switched there, the ratio of trolls increased. I'm aware that the network has value for marketing. But don't let that drag you down.

David Revoy

@madiko Yes, thank you for the advice :blobcatheart: , but it was on the birdsite as mentioned by @RyunoKi.

True Ryuno-Ki, Thanks. Yes, I archived my Twitter data, removed all people from "my follow" that I could find here on Fediverse, and just kept my Tw account as a (RSS) relay to post the main news now (yes, for the visibility of my project).

True, I should be more prepared to receive comments from Posthumanism/AI Take Over, NFTs, Crypto, and all the baggage that come with that.

@jeko :shibalaugh: haha, I guess I have to see the glass as half full. Maybe it's a compliment.

David Revoy

@fartkart Oh, I did. It's just not on the screenshot. But you know, you'll be disappointed by what I really answered because I was polite and all.
I wrote:

@davidrevoy fwiw when I saw it the other day my 1st reaction this image was, 'this is a true artist, no AI could have ever done this.'

@davidrevoy This is such a sad joke by this person. I love this art. I'm growing so tired of all this AI bullshit.

ENIGMATICO :heartbleed:

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org People got so attached to the machines that they forgot humans also have skills.

Kin Yutaka :✅

@davidrevoy That is why I like to include the AI information when I post pictures made with AI.

We should just assume that you drew/painted it yourself when you don't.

0xUtnoid

@kinyutaka @davidrevoy same. AI art is not like other arts, it must be labeled as it.

Kin Yutaka :✅

@0xUtnoid @davidrevoy Exactly.

The good thing about AI art is that it is free for anyone to use. The bad thing about AI art is that it is easy enough for everyone to use.

0xUtnoid

@kinyutaka @davidrevoy yes, like photography that now is available on every phone, instead of having to pay thousands of dollars for the body/lens/lab.
The issue of work proliferation is mostly a curation issue, not really an art issue. Maybe AI art will push people to rethink how art is curated and shared globally.

Kin Yutaka :✅

@0xUtnoid @davidrevoy Gonna be honest, I would rather see a well rendered, if strange image of a castle in the fog hanging on the wall of a museum, compared to a moldy banana duck taped to the wall until it rots as a statement.

Morgan

@0xUtnoid @kinyutaka @davidrevoy it's just like how, if you post art by another person, you should link to that person or else people will assume you did it yourself.
Now, it would be great if AI art gave you the ability to link to the artists that created it 😬 but since you can't, there's still an obligation to acknowledge that it's not your art

Liberonscien :VeryQueer:

@0xUtnoid @raphaelmorgan @davidrevoy @kinyutaka How do you think AI Art Engines work? Do you think they’re just automatic collage makers?

Liberonscien :VeryQueer:

@davidrevoy @kinyutaka Whenever I post AI stuff I usually just go # AI-Generated or something like that.

Tanath

@davidrevoy I think most commenters are overreacting here. They likely never heard of Krita so didn't have the clue. AI-generated images are hot right now and it looks like many others; they likely saw it in passing and liked it enough to comment.

To address some other comments, AI image generation isn't "stealing" just because it's trained on your work. It's making new works inspired by it. Would you hate people for making works inspired by your work? The AI is doing the same thing.

Tanath

@davidrevoy if you're more concerned about how much time and effort it takes you vs an AI, you could use those tools too to assist in your work. Generate some stuff based on your work and start from there. Fix up ones you like, or just use it for inspiration.

David Revoy

@Tanath I find it problematic that you put on the same level:

1. Creators who love, hate, and interact with input within the zeitgeist and then get inspired (consciously or unconsciously) by that.

AND

2. An A.I. software that received a massive list of URL of images inputs+descriptions, without the consent of their authors, and curated by a team (with their own political choices).

I wouldn't call 2 inspiration but just massive stealing of data for analysis.

(edited for CW)

Tanath

@davidrevoy that's not my intention. I'm not equating those. People are conscious, emotional beings, while AI currently are not. There may be ethical issues w/scraping publicly posted data but that's a separate issue from what I was saying. That said, people can view the images, do analysis and use it for inspiration, so why can't AI?

The real problem as I see it is that it lowers the value of such work. That is an unfortunate downside but it's often the cost of progress from new tech.

raphael

@davidrevoy @Tanath very well put!

phrasing like ‘inspired’ anthropomorphise a heuristic that does a complex version of rote reproduction. it creates nothing new, its output is based wholly and entirely on reproduction of pre-existing imagery. overfitting examples to expose how the sausage gets made show this beyond a shadow of a doubt. experts on ‘AI’ agree with this.

and when the creators and owners of the material that is being reproduced did not license their material for that use, it can indeed be called ‘stealing.’

Liberonscien :VeryQueer:

@davidrevoy @gekitsu @Tanath Overfitting is an error, not a desired result.

Morgan

@Tanath @davidrevoy if you don't know enough about the person posting art to know that they're not using AI, maybe you don't know enough to assume they're using AI? Just maybe?

SEPIA Open Assistant

@davidrevoy I really wonder how we, as human beings, will handle this AI augmented future. I expect it will often make us think about how we evaluate certain things. For example: Do we like a painting because its pretty? because it tells a story? because it inspires our imagination? or maybe because of its history? how it was created or by whom? Humans have always built tools to extend their abilities and to overcome their limitations but how long will it take to get used to these new tools?

David Revoy

@sepia These questions are in loop in the history of modern art and contemporary art, and it is a fascinating philosophical adventure to read about it and forge a philosophy. More than 100 years of artists tried to answer that.

About getting used to AI, I embraced it in September ( read framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/1089 ) but that was before all artists − thanks to website like haveibeentrained.com/ − saw their artworks being used without their consent.

*That* changed everything.

A screenshot of https://haveibeentrained.com/ with the search  "Pepper&Carrot " : the website specialised into listing what artworks is in the trained LAION model database list all the artworks and comic pages of Pepper&Carrot; my comic. 

I often joke about it that because it is Creative Commons Attribution materials, I should be credited for all derivation coming out of A.I. legally. 

Some images comes from Redbubble, some from my website, some from Pixiv, some from DeviantArt, some from ArtStation, some from various book store.

@davidrevoy @sepia everyone's data eventually will get scraped so I'm not worried about that. I don't even bother to check if mines were being scrapped.

Just do the thing you do, ai doesnt have the personality and the life experiences to make the same thing you make

Tanner Spaw

@chengdulittlea @davidrevoy @sepia agreed on both points, even as someone that is messing with ai art. But I would still want to see a model that's just public domain stuff and the rest being opt-in.

David Revoy

@tannerspaw Same, I wish a model existed trained exclusively on CC-0 and Public Domain resources.

@chengdulittlea @sepia

David Revoy

@chengdulittlea I know, but it's not the A.I with its little legs who have decided by a beautiful morning to scrape the web for art alone. 😅

No: it's a team of dev − eg. working at LAION laion.ai/faq/ − who decided to scrape all URL and ALT text, enrich the database with their description, curate the result (eg. remove the watermark, keep the bias of stereotype work/gender/race). Political choices here.

I just hate that.

@davidrevoy @chengdulittlea @sepia also it claims they didn't scrape anything at all, common crawl is an old project that created dumps of the ~entire internet, they seem to have simply formated whatever can be formatted there into a txt-img paralel corpus.

@davidrevoy @chengdulittlea @sepia oh actually the large one does have a detector for watermarked images, and for I believe porn, so that any downstream user could avoid training on such images.

@davidrevoy @sepia "Register an account to opt-out your images from Stable Diffusion V3"

This is the most fucking upside-down logic I've ever seen, and definitely 100% illegal basically anywhere on the planet. However this is the internet - it will be used anyway, and with the modern economy also using data in immoral amounts things won't change in the near future. 😔

@sepia @davidrevoy it's a good reminder and the answers will be very different for each piece

if i want a random carpet texture for my fast-paced tactical fps i'm fine with anything that looks vaguely carpety ingame and i can just take 20 shots of the floor at my day job, feed it through the ai and tell it to make it tile properly

but if this is a narrative game and i want what's on that floor to symbolize something, or resemble something bc it's a reference to some other thing...
