@stux i think this a very in line opinion on here, so i’ll be brave and say that i agree with you on parts, but i don’t on others. i think generative art can never replace true art, because what makes real art real is the emotion put into it, and a lot of that comes from forming a connection with the artist. in my eyes, gen AI sucks the same way mainstream social sucks: people are using it for the wrong reasons and capitalistic gains. we shouldn’t be scared of it, just cautious!

@stux i’m saying that even if they do, i think humanity will choose to pick art from actual artists every time in the future. the fact that the fediverse already existed pre-everything that’s happening right now is just proof of that in my eyes. evil might be winning this hand by a decent margin, but it always swings back eventually. i just hope im still around to see it😅

@stux i also feel like not enough people are aware of LLMs. AI doesn’t have to be devastating to the environment and run on giant clouds, you can run a lot of these models on hardware most gamers already have. the key issue i’ll note, if we (being more developed, peaceful(🤨) nations) ease up on the development, it gives the other side more time to catch up. i don’t trust our side right now, but i do trust them just a liiiittle bit more

@divVerent @stux as with many things, my understanding is that ,with AI, the home grown stuff is always better. even if you’re running a local model that you’ve slowly trained yourself, it’ll be trained to your specific use case. i’d say probably 90% of “AI” is just built on chatgpt. but things like stable diffusion and comfy tend to perform better than any out of the box solution you could ever buy

@divVerent @stux you can do a lot of what you’re talking about already with standard diffusion and comfy! the same way the open source community is pioneering social over here, they’re doing it with AI. there’s things like diffusion models that let you rig models you’ve drawn and in-painting to only re-gen what you want. to be clear, less trying to convince AI ≠ Bad, but more so that there’s more options than just cGPT and it doesn’t HAVE to be AI = bad.

@divVerent @stux i think this functionality should exist in GIMP with a plugin, i know it does for photoshop. it does all the alpha compiling for you in the background basically. in SD, there’s a window just for inpainting where you can put in an image of you holding a paper towel roll, brush over the roll, and have it make it a sword or something else. then, you can run that picture through another diffuser to adjust the posing of the character in the picture

@divVerent @stux ill also admit that i don’t use GIMP, so i don’t know for certain. but all the stuff about standard diffusion, i have actual experience doing with local models and the results are mind blowing tbh. i’d definitely do some digging on github, there’s a LOT of cool open source AI stuff happening every day
