I agree with your points, while AI's advancement is nothing short of impressive, the data used to construct them is estranging the community it could've been used for. The hope is that as the field matures (we are in the infancy of the 3rd AI boom), models and artists could co-exist and better...

I appreciate the reply, although, I'd like to inquire a tad further as there are some points of confusion for me. To clarify, I hold great respect for both artists and machine learning models that are constructed by the pioneers of our times. Is this matter in regards to there being less demand...

Can you elaborate on this? I am genuinely curious on the viewpoint of people who are studying art/have a career in art, and how generative AI for images has affected them. I do not have a strong stance on the matter, but I would like to understand the strong dislike this community has towards...

Hey! As a disclaimer, I am not an artist, but a data scientist that has read a few papers on AI and would like to give my two cents on the idea of the "soul", or more concretely, is there a ghost in the machine? I'd like to first open with that we, as humans, like to attribute human-like traits...

Ideally, this is where I'd like generative AI to head! There's already a lot of people using generative AI, personally, my usage is in co-pilot, generative AI trained on existing code to help me write boilerplate(boring code) I am sure a lot of these tools already exist in famous softwares...

I can understand the gripe! This has been a pervasive issue through many places, really. From academia, applications, and so on. Although I'd like to emphasize that this thread is strictly on generative AI for images! Not for LLMs, and I think a distinction should be drawn on the prejudice.

I appreciate the kind words even if you don't necessarily agree with generative AI! As I mentioned above, it's really a gray area on this, and needs a lot of time to mature until a stable ecosystem/relationship could be formed between generative AIs and artists. Regardless! This is for...

Wanted to drop my two cents into this matter, Urufu's point is very much understandable. Art is a medium that takes tremendous effort and work to refine to the point most are at, and generative AI as a field, especially regarding art, has not yet matured enough to have a proper consensus and...

Introduction As the thread's question asks, can stable diffusion make Minecraft skins? Unequivocally, the answer is yes. Stable diffusion is capable of making Minecraft skins, fairly good ones at that! Background About me I have interest in AI and had the free weekend to invest time into...
