Prompt jockies aren't "artists." Nobody is "going after AI artists" because there is no such thing as an "AI artist."

People hire established and reputable graphic design firms to make their logo and style guide because the people that hire them are not artists, so they hire artists. They give the artists a prompt to go by. In exactly the same way AI prompt jockies are the client, not the designer.

There is no such thing as an "AI artist."

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

next you'll be telling me there's no such thing as a bullshit artist

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

The difference between terms like "scam artist" is that it actually takes effort to pull off a scam

What is it with the extremely common tendency for some of the most privileged groups out there to act like they're some of the most marginalized individuals ever?

(directed towards hypothetical AI bro) Like, you are given some of the most advanced technology humanity has to offer, it's given to you on a silver platter, for pennies on the dime. Data centers are constantly being built nearly everywhere, and you probably don't even have to experience the worst of climate change resulting from it, given you can probably just crank up the air conditioner even higher or install dozens of premium grade $300 HEPA filters on every single vent of your house. Almost everything in this world has been designed for people like you, and you still have the fucking gaul to act oppressed because people don't like that you take part in an environmentally destructive hobby?

Also, not to mention, these people would, ironically, probably be willing to do the exact same things to "others" (POC, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, anything that isn't a straight white man) and they wouldn't even bat an eye. I can describe these people in one single word, and that is cynical. They want something (in this case, sympathy) and they will do literally anything to get it, even if it means this type of shit.

To paraphrase Paolo Freire: equality looks like oppression to the oppressor.

If people call them out on how their actions are negatively impacting others, they get defensive because they feel like they're losing something.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

They want to be the oppressed underdog because every narrative they've ever encountered portrays said underdog as the hero.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 22 points 8 months ago

The peril of having mythical struggle as one of your cultural pillars.

Not to get all up-yours-woke-moralists about it but a bunch of ancient prehistoric myths concern the overthrow of the old cosmic order to usher in the new current age. It’s a very old and common story. So even the gods have to be an underdog at some point to justify being on top. They had to earn it.

The three-armed soldier on the middle panel really shows how much they care about their craft as AI artists lol

[-] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

If being anti-AI grows me an extra arm that's fucking sick as, I'm gunna hate AI even more now

[-] Soot@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

It's 'cause we specced into the bio-engineering tech tree instead of the AI one

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

those artifacts are way more interesting than what they're trying to make. give me oops all ai artifacts.

"Gays go back where you came."

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 14 points 8 months ago

AGM is probably a clue, but I don't run in cool enough circles to recognise what it means.

[-] Umechan@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The only hint I'm getting from Google is "Annual General Meeting". Is there some yearly meetup for the woke mob I haven't been invited to? I'm not going to cum at a corporation's AGM unless it's an act of protest.

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

It's not, it's just what happens when you let a graphics model do text.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 8 months ago

why do they always have the robot do the text too?
just get it to do the illustration and add the text yourself, it looks less shit

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

That would require a tiny, insignificant iota of effort, several whole seconds of making speech bubbles and copying text. This is clearly far too much work for these accomplished AI artists.

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

They are legitimately THAT creatively bankrupt. It's sad, really.

[-] blunder@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

These people have nothing to say

[-] Crucible@hexbear.net 13 points 8 months ago

'AI is artists' giving real 'All babies want to get borned' from Juno energy

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

I mean, it kind of is, in the same way Soylent Green is people.

[-] Blakey@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

"Equier you came from, oriental"

Now obviously this is gibberish, but it's also racist gibberish. I love that the racist/xenophobic gibberish is coming from the "good guys" side because whoever prompted this garbage spent literally NO time vetting or adjusting it. Very cool!

[-] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

These people call themselves artists.

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 29 points 8 months ago

Tech bros: “Everyone is scum except for me, especially you in particular artists. It is shameful anyone ever goes into art, so automating you is top priority. Enjoy toilet scrubbing, losers!”

Tech bros: “Ooooh art community?! I’m joining! I do art with compooper because I’m super smart and with it. You luddites should leave it all to the clankers like I do!”

Tech bros: “WHAT?! What do you MEAN I’m not welcome this community?!? This is discrimination! I know I think discrimination is good, but no one is ever allowed to dislike me ever!”

[-] Umechan@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago

Does anyone else remember how dominant Godwin's Law was in last decade's online discourse? Like how if you dared to bring up the fact that scholars had labelled Trump's detention centers for migrants as concentration camps, people would claim that even mentioning the Nazis made you hysterical?

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago

i would support this

[-] Soot@hexbear.net 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Why would we employ an entire anti-AI police force? If the government is anti-AI, it need only ask the huge AI companies to train their models to tell people that AI art isn't art. Can't be anti-AI if the inherently hugely biased AI is instead biased towards you catgirl-smug

[-] tetrabrick@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Hey, atleast it is PERSECTUTION and not PERSECUTION

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Cool how it went from "AI is just a tool bro, why u so mad bro, are you a luddite why are you against better Photoshop?" jackasses to

"But but AI is an integral part of my human identity, you don't understand what it means to be born with an unconditional love for AI, you don't understand what it means to be looked at funny for liking AI, why do you hate us? We`re just victims being persecuted for our identity".

Its just pathetic because it was always clear the whole tool argument was never going to convince most people so now they try to appropriate other issues, try try to appeal to our common sense of fairness. But then you ask them where was that fairness and kindness when you just support billionaire corporations stealing data and our creative work to create your "tool".

As if photoshop necessitated millions of people working for free or a massive planet destroying level of infraestructure to function. The only irony is Adobe embracing AI may well turn it into that lol.

And of course another day, another instance of bastardization of the word "AI", LLMs should be banned on this alone. Machine learning and other approaches are not inherently evil, but turning LLM into "AI" is already doing irreversible harm.

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 12 points 8 months ago

we are at stage 1: armored police frequently enter pro AI living spaces

[-] Runcible@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

There's no such thing as an AI artist

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

How is this not a bit? Didn't we have a post like this a few days ago? Is it not a full blown troll?

Like this isn't a troll!?

[-] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

you-think-this-is-funny

Slot machine addicts are being persecuted and your laughing?

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 7 points 8 months ago

I can’t wait until we start exterminating them.

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

I’m so tired

[-] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Making the choice to try and pass off shitty stolen visual extrusions as art is the same thing as being Jewish during the third Reich

[-] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

This is a bit. Right? This has to be a bit. Look at the hands and arms.

[-] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

than it's labeling AI artists art

I guess the EU is at stage 2 already

also my fucking god that last picture is tasteless.
