…AI ART… a fun game using words to create pictures… no artistic talent required…

[Isee]

As a photographer/artist I feel really conflicted about AI. I use an older version of photoshop so I don't have the generative AI on it, but I don't really do anything like cloning etc on my photos anyway so I wouldn't use that feature.

But AI exists within cameras etc so there is no getting away from it.

I don't like the fact that AI picture generators like this are pulling from peoples photos and art images that are online without permission to generate an image. But at the same time I can see how it can allow people to create an image that they may have never thought they could make otherwise. I can see how it can help with idea generation for artists etc so it is not all negative.

What is difficult is the complexities around people entering competitions (eg a photography competition) with an AI image. An AI image is not a photograph, or digital art the same that Sean does. They need to have their own categories and competitions, as there probably is a skill to get great prompts to get the exact image you are after.

OK this image could have been beautiful if they weren't joined at the bicep Definitely an AI fail.

but who does the arm that is holding the face belong to if not either of them? There is a whole story to tell there

…further abnormalities I found in my images…



…look at what we caught with our fishing rod Spiderdaddies…



…Spiderman punching the living shit out of a ship…



…Spiderman seems to have extra spider legs…



…Spiderman just after stealing Superman’s cape again is just about to beat the crap out of a little robot of some kind…



…it looks like Batman has a pet dog…



…Spiderman has a TARTAN cape!…oh well… at least he didn’t steal Superman’s this time… and… Bigfoot or King Kong has some kind of machinery on his back?…



…some kind of Spaceship is trying to take off?… and… does Darth Vader have a digeredoo?… (there’s more coming lol!)… cheers.

Hours of fun for everyone! I'd post my Sikh pic on Cursed AI except it would probably attract homophobic comments. So yeah, nah.

…Spiderman with a Polar Bear?…



…Spiderman has stolen Superman’s cape again lol!… the Brontosaurus has no head and what the fuck is holding that stick?…



…that’s a big Spider man!…



…a Spiderman is holding hands with a thing called a ‘Wotdafuckisdat’… and that’s a bloody big crab eh?…there’s more to come… cheers.

I think we really just need to see how these tools advanced. It'd be awesome to be able to do a rough sketch of ideas and use AI to enhance your creation into something you could never actually draw.

Not all of the AI models are based on just taking peoples photos. Adobe trained theirs on their library's of stock images and there is some sort of payment plan to the photographers.

…it looks like one Spiderman is sitting down having a little cry while another Spiderman is using Superman’s cape to fly and piss off some spiny weird giant…



…there’s a giant flying crab?… a flying deer… Darth Vader with a robotic type armour on and Spiderman flexing his muscles…



…Spiderman and his son playing with toys on a rocky beach with a Zombie is trying to take off with a jet pack?…



…Spiderman with Captain America’s shield and a light sabre while Darth Vader has a bow in one of his hands… where’s his arrow?… is that a Velociraptor on a Spaceship?… yes… I’m afraid there’s more to come lol!… cheers.

I suspect these better/more ethical systems will become more obvious over time, as the ones pulling data from online indiscriminately is going to include all the cursed AI art they keep creating - they will end up being used purely to create images to laugh at, and the better image generators will become harder to detect from photographs etc.

…Superman without his cape again (Spiderman on the other side of the image pinched it)… another Spiderman is with his son again… and is that a shark in the water?…



…it looks like Darth Vader has Superman’s cape on this time while R2D2 and some green guy and another Spiderman watch the other Spiderman having a shit in the lake…



…Chewbacca? Is wearing pants?… Darth Vader/ Spiderman and R2D2 are wondering what the hell is beside R2D2?… the other Spiderman is doing his clothes washing in the lake perhaps?…



…is that a red clown’s car on the right and what is in front of it?… I’m fucked if I know?…



...ls that a baby Dalek refereeing a Sabre fight?… I know that you’re all going to be completely shattered with this news but my analysis of all of my images is finished!… there there don’t be upset… but all things must come to an end eventually… lol!… cheers

…wow!… what did you ask for that was bad enough to get you banned?… lol!… cheers.

Oh no, Stable Diffusion has dropped their 30-max queue limit. Currently 155 in the queue and a six minute wait for your image. It varies a lot, but what a pain.

The filter on it is insanely sensitive. Most of the time you don't even know what is triggering it. When you're spending the day just constantly doing prompts in the background, I think it just adds up and says you've tried enough blocked stuff. Even when you aren't intentionally trying to do anything it doesn't allow.

The AI also seems to often make images it then blocks. You can try a prompt and it'll then block it. Try it again and it works. So I think it has a dirtier mind than the users and it punishes you for its own doing.

BTW you can install a version of Stable Diffusion on your computer, but you need to have an NVIDIA graphics card with at least 2GB RAM on board - although they say it can use your CPU instead if you don't have the NVIDIA. My laptop doesn't have NVIDIA, and just isn't powerful enough. It ground to a halt trying to generate my first image until it eventually gave up. Here if you want to see how that works: https://github.com/easydiffusion/easydiffusion#installation

After several attempts I almost managed to coax an image out of it. It got to 96% then the server shat itself. So close!

I'm giving this a shot and having some pretty bad results. Not sure if there are settings to adjust. Everything was basically awful.
