If you ignore for a moment that generative image AI will most likely utterly decimate the digital arts industry, it's kind of refreshing to see artistic expressions without the usual Tumblr degeneracy. It only took a blanket ban on explicit sexual content to accomplish this.
I suppose it'll crop up again when the usual suspects(Tumblr degenerates) manage to circumvent the ban on sexual content, but by then AI image generators may be good enough to create 'deep fakes/undress simulacra', removing the demand for illustrated pornographic content altogether.
Another factor of influence is that a new and different demographic is tinkering with artistic expression (through AI.)
I absolutely love making my own shitty AI art. I've even started getting into the hang of training focused models. My stuff is absolute shit compared to what many others make. Still love it.
If it helps you're probably still doing a better job than Greg Land.
How he keeps getting work I don't know. Then again maybe because he traces real faces so much he's that much cheaper than other actual artists who spend more time actually drawing.
He's doing the art on yet another X-Men title! However it's looking like it will be shit for story reasons long before the issues with Land need brought up.
I love it too, problem is my computer doesn't have the graphics card to make fine tune the images that come out within a reasonable amount of time. When I get a decent computer eventually I'll start delving into it further.
for non degen stuff, leonardo is a cloud based stable diffusion 1.5 and XL based generator. It's the easiest to use way to get better more cusomisable results.
It's also good for being stable diffusion based, which is what you'll want to be running on your own p, so you'll be more used to that when you get your pc.
Very nice. Will check it out in the future.
How big are you trying to make it? With a 2060, I'm mostly making 960x640 pics upscale 1.2x, rendering is complete in under two minutes.
I'm using Easy Diffusion, but my computer does not have a dedicated graphics card so it takes like 5 minutes for anything that's not microscopic.
What software do you guys use?
Look up Easy Diffusion, there should be a link to download it. It's hosted on your own computer so if you have a bad computer or bad graphics card it will take a bit longer to generate stuff. It's very non-beginner friendly but you can work it well enough with a little practice.
...You do know there's already specifically hentai AI art generators out there, right? Sankaku Complex made one that it trained on all its hentai and ecchi art database. It's not hard to fresh-train an image-maker AI, when you've got a thousand terabytes of images already on-hand.
Is "petabyte" not a common known term?
Edit: I'll admit I don't know off the top of my head what comes next.
Edit 2: "exabyte". Well that just sound dumb and like the prefix was cut short.
lol, no, I didn't. Link me.
I'm not linking to porn on here, you're not baiting a ban from me. I gave the name "Sankaku Complex", that should be enough.
Checked out the website. It's not really porn. It allows NSFW, but that isn't saying much. It depends on the user description.
Anyway, it's pay-to-play.
Leftists will lobby to cripple any chance of that. Deepfakes are already illegal. Women will cry that an AI generated image looks like them, like that drunk cunt Lindsay Lohan
it certainly drove GPU prices even higher.. damn nvidia got lucky with crypto and then AI.
That's not exactly a matter of luck so much as a reasonably probable outcome of CUDA's development and use. NVidia made a conscious choice to expand their hardware and software support into other areas like machine learning and neural networks, which is closely related to part of how current AI tech operates.
I don't think ai will have as large of an impact on digital art as some might think. For a layman it's no more useful than any paintbrush; AI equivalents of the square house, curly smoke, smiling sun. With a strong gloss of shine over it. No, the true artistry is still belonging to the artists and the dedicated. Train the AI the way any artist trains their hand and there's no reason you couldn't join their ranks, technically.
Like the synthesizer to music it's just one more tool and just more art. The human skill will always command a higher price. Do you spend more or less money on a hand carved wooden table than you would the ikea equivalent?
I'm concerned that the government, enabled by feminazis and anti-porn activist groups, might create a vague "PROTECT Act for AI" which will result in mass deplatforming of NSFW AI, similar to what happens now with the major platforms and what they define as lolicon.
AI will not end human artistic expression in the same way that film, photoshop, and CGI didn't.
Frankly, at this point, AI is a bubble.
Machine Learning will continue to improve over time, but there is no singularity, there is no basilisk, and most of the AI you're using now isn't even remotely close to anything like "intelligent".
Greeting card industry, graphics for web design, online ads, advertisements, wall paper patterns, book design, business brand names, etc.
It'll have a huge impact due to the ease and low cost.
Human artistic expression isn't gone. You need to know art to properly make a good picture in AI.
There's a guy in Orlando who did the design doc for a fake theme park using AI. It sort of blows my mind.
I've used some of the AI generation to create concept art to help flesh out ideas that I've been having a hard time visualizing. Then I draw the actual subject myself using the generation as a reference. It's helped a lot
Example?
Sorry for the delay. Was out of the house for Christmas.
Here's an example. On the left are my original, all from my head designs for my two main characters, in the middle are the best AI prompts I could generate for them, and on the right are my new designs taking some cues from how the AI interpreted my descriptions of them.
Looks good.
From what I've seen, these image generators can also directly produce pixel art, though. You'll have steep competition from them, but it's still fun to tinker around with.
i don't understand the hatred of porn. hell it's not even real porn that's the subject here, even art porn is off the table for you guys.
Even as someone who considers it their only major vice, to an extent is shouldn't be difficult to understand, right? Porn addiction is definitely not a good thing, and its effects on young, undeveloped minds are not good to say the least.
That being said, people here can absolutely go a bit overboard with it.
...cool story bruh. but i never said: "what wrong with having a porn addiction?" i just asked why is both fictional and real porn bad? if your gonna dick suck for these guys do please make it more obvious so i can write you off.
Porn rots your brain, and is a major source of addiction for lonely single guys who would be much better off attempting to improve themselves to get a real woman than jerking off to fake ones. It's no different than Democrats pumping blacks full of welfare and food stamps to make them dependant on the government for survival, so they never develop life skills or get jobs which would naturally lead them to becoming more conservative and voting Republican. Porn holds a lot of men back without them realizing it.
Porn as an industry is a psyop designed to keep young white men from personal growth that would benefit society. The explosive surge of Blacked and Cuck porn is a major step towards this and there is a reason it is being pushed so hard. Jerking off by itself is fine, it's natural, but jerking off to porn can become an addiction.
all of this is false. first off their are more white people on welfare... but please don't respond to my comment. most retards never do. 2ndly. how is porn targeting only white men? alot of porn out there. and something tells me you never went to an actual pornsite. and your getting all your info from out of touch conservatives. and lastly watching porn does not lead to porn addiction. if your not gonna site a study that proves... ya know what your not even gonna respond to my comment so i don't know why i'm bothering asking you for proof.
It is gay, you are a man touching a dick with sexual intent
you are a degenerate, of course you don't
I'm a degenerate and I understand the hatred perfectly well, so he can't really use that as an excuse.
shut up
It's not hatred of porn. It's the sexual fetishes of a certain group of people seeping into anything and everything.
Which is why I hope AI takes off. Real porn in general is not my cup of tea, if you could pick your own it would also reduce the amount of weird shit you could have in it. When I was really into the real porn I already noticed a lot of interracial(read: black man on anything that isn't black) put into it, I expect it to have gone even worse. With AI generated it would mean none of that shit.
what does that have to do with porn? if you go to any porn site you can type in the bar anything you want. or filter out things you don't like. nothing is being pushed on you in porn sites. if you mean tranny porn... you'll rarely see them pushing it.
And dummy. these people here stated that they hated porn. which is why i made a comment asking why is porn fictional or real bad? can you not read the room? or are you just stupid?
if extremely easy access to dopamine wasn't a bad thing we'd all be shooting up heroin. having it that easy to acquire, in a psychological-addiction-forming way, is dangerous to the psyche and brain chemistry, and that's ignoring the likely negative/dulling effect it has on any reproductive urges that could otherwise lead youth to getting a girlfriend/wife.
anyone who genuinely tries to argue in favor of porn must wrestle with the current societal image of millions of lonely young guys jerking it to japanese children and rape gangbangs instead of going out and talking to girls. and that's a match that can't be won.
Yup, if anyone openly supports porn they have no grounds to stand on with the declining birth rates in White nations.
Except it is easy to access. particularly opium. but porn and drugs are often times linked to make a point but... is it though? video games are easy to access, with some levels of dopamine spikes in the brain. and some anti gaming advocates would consider that to be a drug. so anything can be a bad thing if it makes you feel good... including if you remove context for what that thing is and what it does.
That's the problem here. we don't know if those million of lonely men are in relationships or just choose to be lonely. also what's wrong with jerking off to hentai. and or rape gang bangs? people are perverts and you just sound like an upthight puritan... and we all know how well you guys win over people with you holier than thou attitude.
nothing you just said makes sense. can you try again?
yes, normal people also think toxic repetitive Dota 2 and gacha/casino games are bad and should be shunned or, push comes to shove, outlawed... very few think that games generally considered good (like, i don't know, Hades) are ebul because you feel cool playing em.
as for your first line... yes, it's easy to access... that's the bad part? hard to access dopamine tends to be the healthy kind, like working out, being content with your situation in life, achieving something difficult but fulfilling?
...
No my point is your connection to porn with harmful drugs. not the same. and then i said, going by your logic, someone who is anti game. could make the same connection with video games.
Yeah the problem with that is... some men are just bad at picking up women. some men may not be in position to get pussy or even a date. some men may not like real women, and may prefer 2d women. alot of angles your not considering here.
again nothing you say makes a lick of sense, except to the sort of morons that get convinced of an idea just by having it repeated happily often enough...
yes the same. easy dopamine, harmful, addictive.
nuance is a powerful thing. feeling good because you beat a hard dark souls boss is OK. feeling good because you finally got the specific anime girl you wanted after paying 500 bucks and grinding for 70 hours straight is not OK.
"you see, our society is broken, men are fucked as a result, and keep doing fucked up things. that's why porn is okay."
get a grip.
the problem here is drugs rot you from the inside... and can kill you! that's one of the many differences... between a fucking porn addiction and being a fucking drug addict! you fucking idiot!
and context matters here. let's say... your playing shooter yeah? pretty easy standard shooter, and... you get a few headshots, some body shots and ya feel pretty powerful feel pretty big yeah? kinda like... your enjoying it! those dopamine in your brain are firing off like fire works! but-
Someone see's that your enjoying this. getting off to such brutality. you see in your dark souls example that's one way to get a high playing videos games. sad thing is... your leaving out different ways how people can get off playing games. you used a high ceiling example.
But that doesn't matter. if you can get joy out of beating some rando ped (pedestrian) running them over. shooting into a crowd full of people... one could say that easy access to dopamine is on the same level of using drugs... and you need to have a continues escalation of that virtual violence to feel that same high again. again your just not liking the example i provided you. because it shuts down your anti porn augment.
Porn is neither good nor bad. it is however an outlet. why men don't wanna do social stuff anymore is beyond me.
