Every artist has their influences. If they come up with something new it is from a unique combination of their influences. Stable Diffusion makes this literally trivial.
- throwaway1851 4y agoA big difference is that a good artist does this in a meaningful way, creating novelty in a way that triggers a specific emotional impact or conveys a message. With generative AI, it’s all statistical sampling with any “meaning” inferred after the fact. But I do believe AI will be invaluable in helping artists explore idea space and refine their vision.
- 0x457 4y agoI think you just discovered that art galleries either show art by dead artists (can't be a new style) or zombie formalism. I haven't seen anything groundbreaking new by Stable Diffusion or DALL-E. Well, sometimes it produced funny images because it doesn't understand what it's actually "painting".
