      Just because a certain sect of non-artists online have decided to utilize AI for their own specific purposes, doesn't mean that everybody else (including artists) has to as well. There's various ways of creating art. There's no reason one method has to die in favor of another.

      This. Why should AI be any different than photoshop? You can draw your style in photoshop, train your own personal AI with it, and put out more work than any other artist previously in history. You don't even have to do nothing BUT AI art, you can use AI for some things, and be totally organic about other things. There's no reason AI has to be the death of art. Corporations will use it to the fullest extent to exploit it, but AI art also means the average indy artist can now pump out as much animations as a korean studio. Really the only ones who should be scared of losing their jobs are the Koreans, but NO your average artist is a "Feels first, brains second (if at all)" type of individual. Those of you who are smart enough to learn and utilize the tool, in addition to your artistic skills, will become bitcoin rich. The rest will be left seething in the dust due to their own choices.

                And plenty more fail to make any living off their work at all. You're severely underestimating how many other people are going to be doing the same thing as you if creating animation becomes that easy. It won't matter if you upload it onto Youtube or any other global platform, everyone's going to be buried under a mountain of AI slop like none that's ever been seen before.

                I disagree entirely. Though people do slurp up shit at a record pace, there will still be room for winners and losers in the AI environment. A measure of quality will still be a determining factor in someone's success.

                In fact, in an environment flooded will mindless AI slop done by hacks, the israeliteels will end up standing out more I believe. People who put in a measure of effort will get ahead, while those create more banal shit will fall behind or be lost in the tide of garbage.

                A lot of people seem to depend on algorithms, but ones like Youtube's already have a problem with promoting every quality video out there. Searching will also become much more crawling through garbage.

                That was the case before. So nothing has changed for you.

                Again, AI will exponentially increase the amount of shit out there far beyond what there is right now. It will be so much harder to stand out when everyone has the same capabilities. Every single person who dreams of using AI to make animations is already thinking that they'll be the ones to stand out from everyone else, I'm sure. It won't work out that way.

                Not even marketing is required, you just gotta pay for the algorithm to promote you to everyone.

                That still requires money at the end of the day.

                Do what so many others do. Shill around the web. Namedrop your shit on social media. Word of mouth can get you pretty far. You don't necessarily need millions of dollars from some media studio to market your shit. Cinemaphile may have no shilling rules and shit on people who shill, but there's question that it gets some people traction.

                Word of mouth won't be nearly enough in that kind of environment bloated with content. It sure as hell wasn't enough for a ton of comics, shows, etc. that were cut short.

            Even if you're just animating with CG models, it's good to at least be able to draw well in perspectives and anatomy so that your creativity isn't limited. Copying perspective is only going to get you so far when the dataset becomes a loop. It's like saying not accepting that future animation is now all rotoscoping with an AI filter means you're stagnating.

            What's the difference between commissioning art and using AI to shit out some output (beyond the quality of course). Hell, you have even more control when commissioning because then you can have a human fine-tune the details to your specifications to a far more exact degree. Neither of those things make you an artist.

                Freemium is a well documented strategy. Big tech companies are well known to introduce something for free or at huge discounts as a way to capture the market and then lock consumers in. That's why people like Emad Mostaque and Sam Altman are so eager to make their products easily accessible and widely adopted even as they're burning money right now. They want to become entrenched in everything so that they'll be too big to fail.

                Even with self hosting people are going to get wienerblocked by needing to buy a good graphics processor and then having to run their computer like a workhorse. It sure would be a shame to look up who owns and has shared interests with the major graphics card makers.

                Social media has technically been a thing since the first message boards opened up. But if you're thinking, say, pre-Youtube, things were a lot more personally curated by sites' staff back then. That's gotten much more difficult to do these days, and will get even worse with the advent of AI. Just look at how sci-fi magazines like Clarkesworld are already struggling with AI spam filling their free submission inboxes for short stories, and have talked about potentially having to stick to known authors or make submitters pay in the future. "Anyone will be an artist" indeed.

                Cool, now you're mindlessly attacking something a drawanon did years ago, but that's not the point. You were talking about how the refining process is just gacha using SD, and that you used inpaint and that "it sucks and is just a time waster." Can you do this costume to any image you want? If you can't, you don't know how to use the tool.

                If this isn't enough, I can show you the original, the edit, and the result, a.k.a the refining process. If this is not enough, go to civitai, pick any Cinemaphile lora, post an image of a costume of your choice, and I'll use only inpaint and img2img to generate something.

                I can actually draw so it'd be faster for me to do it manually.

                >I can actually draw so it'd be faster for me to do it manually.
                So can I, but that isn't the point. The point is that you said that the refining process is non-existent and that it's gacha based. This is a lie, and if you can't do it, you're spreading lies. You're causing more harm than good. By contributing to the mythos that anything made with these tools is RNG combined with the lie that everything takes just a few seconds without human input, can you see the damage this does to those interested in art and beginners? Can you imagine how demoralizing this can be to professionals?

          A young high school artist is contracted by a friend for an amount of money to make a poster for an event. Say a "Battle of the Bands". The highschooler draws up a poster, then verifies what he drew with the person who contracted him. The poster then goes to the copiers, so they can be pinned up around town, and handed out as fliers.

          Is the artwork on the copies still the artwork of the artist? If not, why not? Does them being copies negate the original artists work? What about the prints people sell? Are people who sell printed copies of their art not selling THEIR ART?

      I don't see why anyone who likes being creative would want to use "AI" as a "tool" when it does 90% of the work for you so whatever you make isn't really your own.

      You can use it for backgrounds or textures or other shit. Doesn't have to encompass the whole of your artwork.

            Of course you have to know how to draw without tracing, just like you need to know how to paint without using photo elements or AI.

            But once you have those skills, and have developed solid fundamentals, you can use tracing to speed the process up on a particular piece, especially if you're tracing elements that require no particular design work to be done.

            Same with AI. If all you're good at is punching words into a text box, you're useless, but if you can create and modify designs, you can use AI to churn out multiple variations of the same idea, or speed-generate non-essential elements that you'd probably have used photo-elements or stock templates for anyway.

    It really shouldn't demoralize artists and comics creators as AI art still has significant hurdles before it can be seen as "legitimate". Mainstream audiences will still be rather turned off by the teething issues of cutting edge tech, so it has that uncanny valley to overcome, whereas real comics live or die on their art, and so long as you have an agreeable art style, you should have no worries.

                The law has already decided that AI generated shit has no human author and therefore can't be copyrighted itself, meaning companies can't make money off of AI shit. Now there are other cases going to court right now about AI's explicit usage of pirated materials that will render AI in its current state illegal in ADDITION to it not being able to provide capable of legally being monetized.

                There's no law saying this, it's just the national copyright office's decision barring any potential legislation that may arise. As it is, I could just slap some photoshop over it and call it a day when it comes to copyright. You do NOT want to open this digital art can of worms, or all digital art is liable to lose copyright, meaning EVERYTHING. And besides, you can't copyright individual AI output, BUT a complete work using AI assets can be copyrighted.

                Artists doing fanart commissions doesn't normally harm the IP holder. In cases where the IP holder does feel threatened by fanart they can and do send cease and desist letters to put a stop to it. AI inherently devalues anything it is capable of copying, and should always be considered a financial threat.

                Not very complicated, a little kid could have figured that out without needing to be told.

              The whole point of pursuing art as a career or a hobby is that you supposedly love spending your time doing it.

                No. You improvise, adapt and overcome. If we're all eventually forced to use AI in some way, we'll find a way to blend our hand-crafted work with the automation process to make something that can't be replicated by the machines alone.

                I like your optimism anon. I think part of that adapting is going to involve artists doubling down on gatekeeping against the slop. Gatekeeping has always been a reality in the arts. It works and there's nothing wrong with it. The roaches will be relegated to the galaxy of ai slop that the internet will become and will eternally cry to their hugbox that painters and animators refuse to associate with them while only bots will respond and updoot. The more ai hurts artists the more vicious artists will become towards them so the drama has only begun.

                In all likelihood the case still won't go anywhere, because copyrighting a -style- is insane. If that happens, is that what you want?

                I mean laws are going to made against AI anyways in order to stop deepfakes.

      Yeah, basically creative flaws have now become valiable instead of realism, it's basically pointless since if you try to make AI take in flaws to make humans useless you actively make AI useless itself. Humans don't exist to be slaves as much as the highers think we are, life exists to enjoy life, appreciate it, live it. If flawed but fun art is what humans are left to, so be it.

      You're being disingenuous, but I will answer anyway:
      Imagining something in your head is ephemeral, you might have an idea you like at one point and in ten years you will be scratching your head trying to remember it.
      Something that only exists in your head is something that can't be shared with other people.
      Technically both of these problems can be solved by writing stuff down, but it should be obvious that it has its limitations. Besides image generators have other perks, like a certain element of randomness that can create results you might have not thought about.

      Not with that attitude. Anon, you should know by now that anyone with a comic worth making often won't make a living off of it, because they often don't publish through the industry. Now, if you were a brave troony woman of color, or a white woman pandering to wine aunts, then maybe you have a shot. Otherwise suck it up and do the proper research to market your shit yourself.

                So is the models.
                Do you not have any idea how stable diffusion works? It's not just a "press button get picture". It relies on the datasets fed into it to generate a response and those datasets AREN'T open source by default.
                Just like how if someone gifts you a car you still have to pay for gas. It doesn't matter if the car was free, if it's got no gas it's just a brick. If the models/loras that stable diffusion uses have eulas attached that say you can't copyright shit then you're SOL, and that's where the actual legal battlegrounds hare being fought. On the basis of the models and model makers since they're the ones trawling artists' website and portfolios (and apparently classified medical studies) for training data.

                It's not only a possibility, it's already happening. Some latest iterations of models are being trained on AI generated art which is making stuff like wonky hands even worse. It turns out when the curators can't tell good from bad that the data sets get a lot of shit tossed in.

                You know it's possible that the program itself doesn't write EXIF data, right? GIMP, for example, gives you that option (at least in older versions...), so even if that's not the default, the functionality is there.

    As someone who occasionally does commissions, AI will hopefully filter out the terminally online coomer trash who are allergic to storytelling and narrative in the comics they consume. The rest of us will be fine. I think actual writing and human connection through art will be seen as valuable in the way vinyl records have come back into style.

    It's symptomatic of a general death of culture. Most normies will get lost in the dreck, while genuine artists will persist.

      comics are one of the things ai CAN'T do right now
      the current models lack temporal coherence and needs 3d skeleton pose reference to make image that aren't standing poses
      you can make plenty of one offs and fix the flaws in post etc, even character sheet turnarounds, but not actual comics

      even those you can replicate if you train a LoRA on spastic toon poses as a specific style
      but it will always just be that particular poses, w/o context, out of continuity

      BUT as of now it simply can not be done w/o an artist going in per-sketching first and post correcting afterwards.. which may be as much work as making your own depending and w/o being able to confidently monetize it until all the lawsuits are cleared.

    Here’s the bottom line on AI art. It’s here, it’s not going anywhere, and it’s only gonna get better over time. It will be faster than you. It will be cheaper than you. It will be better than you. Fact is, in a decade or two, most media people consume will be custom made to their preferences by AI, with minimal human involvement.

    So is that it? Is this the end of human artistic expression? No. As long as humans have existed, we have made art. We won’t be stopping anytime soon. And furthermore, I can’t believe I’m the only person in the world who prefers the media they consume to be made by humans, even if it is technically inferior in quality. Because it requires real effort, because it is an act of self-expression, and of communication. In the future, real, human-made art will become niche, but there will always be communities producing and consuming it.

      >According to who?
      The conversation. The post I replied to, my answer, and the conversation was about control. I don't care about time efficiency because it has nothing to do with control. The closest thing to time I said was, "How much time did you spend using it? " because the more time you spend on something, the more control you have over it. I do not believe I have to explain this.

      >Every result isn't generated in a jiffy specifically BECAUSE it's a random crapshoot whether or not you'll get what you want from inpainting.
      I don't think you realize it, but you're saying that it takes time, not because you're refining it, but because you can't control it. And as I said, this is a lie. And if you combine this lie with the lies about lack of human input and speed, it becomes a dangerous lie. If you think I'm lying, go to civitai, pick a Cinemaphile character lora, google some clothes, and I'll give you a result using only img2img and inpaint. This is your chance to prove that control doesn't exist with these tools.

      >I think you might actually be agreeing with the Antis but you're so deep down the IT'S A VIABLE TOOL shill argument that you don't realize you're just echoing all the criticisms.
      You're kinda slow, right? The argument was that with a commission, you could ask for the revisions you want, and you'll get it. The response was that you could do the same thing with these tools. A conversation about control of the final result.

      What's the difference between a commission's revision and you refining something generated? With the commission, you'll only see the final result, while with the revisions you make yourself, you'll see the refining stage and the final result. Why do I have to explain this?

      >Newsflash dumbass, a tool that makes work take LONGER is a bad tool!
      I'm running out of chars, so I'll be brief. 1 - The tool is in its infancy. 2 - How do you expect to work efficiently with a tool you lack experience in? R u stupid?

              this has been true and arguably so at every new disruptive technology
              ai imagery as it improves is a big win for graphic designers who are adapt at image manipulation software, the Photoshop monkeys, not artists who actually draw
              since there are way more designers overall who will benefit than illustrators who won't, it's an accurate statement to say ai art will help more people than harm them
              but if yer the drawgay, and the end goal of the tech is total replacement of yer job, the innate hostility should be obvious

              Humans are biased towards human skill and effort. History has shown that just because a machine can technically do something just as well - if not better - it doesn't mean that it'll have any real effect in the long run. Old fashioned handywork is in just as high demand as it ever was, and just as expensive.

                If the end product was all that mattered, no one would support local artists. No one would buy hand-carved or hand-made, they'd just buy reprints of Monet and Van Gogh, and the same moulded affordable swedish crap.

    even garbage such as the Unfunnies is better than anything an AI could make by virtue of the fact a real human made it.

        holy soulless.

        Liefeld's art is ugly but at least it's organic

        when I first saw AI art, THAT, was the closest thing to pure magic to me.
        I ran to Cinemaphile to tell my "friends" and they all pretended to be moronic and that this mind blowing technology is somehow "garbage"
        it was obvious from day 1 that anybody saying
        >AI sucks
        >hands are bad or doesn't have "soul"
        either have no foresight or is completely humiliating himself by projecting his insecurities in front of everybody.
        so I had to make fun of them, is what we do. this is Cinemaphile god dammit.

        the correct way to approach AI is mine:
        I don't do art because I need money, I don't do it because I want to prove something to somebody or to gain accolades.
        I do art because I love it. even if I was a homeless person I would still do art.
        I'm a designer, and I hate this job. I hate working in general.
        I can always get a blue collar job, I would hate it as much as I hate doing anything else.
        I love AI art and receive with open arms, I love art and I hate people.
        why on earth would a "real artist" not side with the robots?
        isn't because you think you're more important than your art? isn't cuz you value people over what they create?

        I will keep mocking people who are too juvenile to just admit it is good art
        everybody knows it is good art and you're just lying to yourself

        it doesn't matter if it looks good since all AI ""art"" is vile semitic slop
