Reply to comment by Baron_Samedi_ in Clip Studio gives up under pressure by Sieventer

>If a publishing house wants original art, which department is going to generate it and tweak it to fit their needs? Accounting? Marketing? Managers?

There absolutely is a limit to human creativity. And yours has been reached with that comment.

Why would I ever turn to a bloody publishing house, when I go straight to the AI myself? Children who draw animu pictures were the first to go. Self-appointed mediaries are following suit. Good riddance.

Spoken like someone who was jealous in school because the creative kids all seemed to be having fun while you were sulking in front of your computer. Art generating AIs have really got y'all crawling out of the woodwork, lately, praying for a little bit of dark schadenfreude.

I mean, pause for a second and ask yourself why you would gloat over AI potentially hurting the very people whose unpaid labor was used to create it. How fucking cringe is that?

Regardless... Jokes on you. If creatives - for whom precarity amid an ever shifting landscape is an old acquaintence - cannot thrive amid the singularity, then non-creative types are well and truly fucked.

What you should be praying for is that we invent solutions that are helpful for everyone, rather than licking your chops at the prospect of our failure.

Seriously, what kind of cave troll relishes the thought of any independent thinker's failure? You need to do some soul searching, man.

You would go to a "publishing house" because {collectives of creatives + AIs} will always come up with something more fun and interesting than {not-creative you + AIs can}.

I love ad hominems like this. You see, I don't spend my time spamming art subreddits with bitter and whiny opinions. But you on the other hand... yikes. AI art is living rent free in your head.

Interesting. I've seen a lot of bizarre claims of pseudospeciation, but rarely among those lines.

Btw, what you described there has nothing to do with the singularity. At all.

>You would go to a "publishing house" because {collectives of creatives + AIs} will always come up with something more fun and interesting than {not-creative you + AIs can}.

This is pure nonsense. Tantamount to telling me that you know my tastes better than myself.

Naw, noticing that you seem weirdly bitter about creative folks' very existence is not an ad hominem. It is just an observation.

Yes! I am obsessed with AI art generators. And I do participate in a lot of discussions about the implications of them. Thanks to that, I have had a lot of chances to imagine the upsides and downsides of them from multiple perspectives.

I am excited about the future potential they offer. They will live rent free in my head until I figure out everything I can about them. That is the way toward mastery of any new medium.

That doesn't mean I have to love everything about them uncritically.

  • I don't claim to know your tastes, but I am 100% certain that the output of one guy (who "can't wait" for artists to go extinct) + an AI... is destined to be less interesting than, say, Pixar Studios + AI.

>creative folks

Who are these people? Do they all agree with you? Do you speak on their behalf? Are you saying that science and technology are distinctly non-creative? Is my ability to draw contingent on whether or not I agree with your opinions? Is there a crayon lodged in your brain?

>Yes! I am obsessed with AI art generators.

Sure you are. Obsessed with poisoning the well and destroying the entire effort.

>Pixar Studios + AI

Is that you, Disney Corp? I shit you not, I already wanted to ask that in my previous reply. Good God, I held up hope that at least you'd have the decency to mention something like Studio Ghibli.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Dude, you are boring and clearly incapable of holding a normal conversation. Quit creeping on me and go bother literally anyone else.

Aww, did I figure out that's you're a petty control freak and a stooge for the mainstream?

Public forum, same comment section and you keep replying. If you don't like it, block me.

I keep replying... with requests for you to fuck off.

I could also report you for harrassment and get your account banned. But instead, I could trust you to do the right thing and leave me alone when I ask you to.

Because your comments are nice, lovely and not inflammatory at all. And you just keep on replying.
