The problem is we taught AI to make art before we taught it to make useful work. so when it finally catches up and we all have free time, but are we supposed to do? Just yell prompts into SD-9000?
- petterparker 4y agoI'm sure you can think of something better to do with your time than spend it on 'work'?
- gilleain 4y agoAs it happens, gave a 5-min lightning talk on text-to-img yesterday, and from discussions with colleagues afterwards one thing that works well is 'Mr Blobby' in various situations. Hmm, not on-topic for OP, but oh well.
- WJW 4y agoThe idea that people would be free to make art when automation obsoleted menial labor was because art was viewed as something inherently pleasurable to do, not because it is needed. You could yell prompts into SD-9000 if you want, or you can paint it yourself, you can even choose to do nothing at all. It doesn't matter which, as long as you are pleased with the result.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoI think its a bit like starting a hobby programming project. If you google your idea, you're most likely going to see that someone else already did it and all the fun will be sucked out of what you're doing. Better to just not look and do it for your own enjoyment. If you want to make art, make it, don't look at what stable diffusion or others are doing.
