>>6245599
Thanks.

Agreed that normies wouldn't know shit about midjourney. Probably think it's yet another drawing program like photoshop. Even online in general you see non artists people praising pics as if the uploader drew them, all while the post is clearly tagged midjourney.

On a side note, it looks like there were only 11 individuals participating in that category.

lol, those judges

>>6245647
Laughing makes your spirit soar, earth-brother.

remember nfts? they are the future of art, amiright?

>>6245615
Sounds right, people really don't understand how LOW the bar is for these kind of competitions. I won a few when I was at school, one I won by default

>>6245562
Been telling people here for YEARS that painting is dead. Single one-off illustrations with no context have no value (unless it’s porn). This isn’t even anything new - people were saying that painting was dead 100 years ago.
Art needs to have narrative (comics, games, animation) to be valuable.
AI is just driving the point home. We are now post-scarcity when it comes to pretty pictures. We can have an infinite number of them at the click of a button. There is no longer a point in judging artists by how pretty their pictures are, because now it’s almost impossible to tell if they used the AI or not. Time to start judging artists by other criteria.

>>6245680
>people were saying that painting was dead 100 years ago.
imagine if he listened

>>6245680
>almost impossible to tell if they used the AI or not
Depends. If there's absolutely zero editing you can tell from the vague outlines (see the humans in OP pic) and fuzzy details (the arc and both sides of the OP pic). It's only hard to tell when AI pics are painted over, but at that point you already are painting your own thing.

I'm just glad the AIs haven't learned how to make fruit preserves yet, but it's only a matter of time before they come for my State Fair entry too.

>>6245710
>AI-generated fruit preserves
Can't imagine what that must taste like.

>>6245562

>>6245809
narrative can't be automated

>>6245680
So what you're saying we should judge writers, not artists.

>>6245827
The closed test of GPT-4 was rated as being professional enough to entirely replace copywriters. The current model can already write articulated tales out of prompts, and there are people selling some impressive prompts in promptbase already. Narrative, propaganda and marketing are just another form of art in the same boat as ours.

>>6245849
copywriting isn't narrative

>>6245739
No. Every single Democrat city has a higher income, higher quality of life, higher iq, pretty much superior in every metric out there except a slight increase in crime per capita compared to flyover shitholes

>>6245839
how do i become the idea guy?

You should #cancel the competition. I mean it. Trying to cancel a whole company is retarded, but you could easily get your local Karens outraged by something like this. Message some of your local news stations over Twitter and show them. It’ll be funny and you were just going to spend that time shitposting anyway.

>>6245571
He made it himself using ai

>>6245668
Completely incomparable.

>>6245860
First thing is to tell the other 10 participants >>6245615 that they got beaten by some nodraw hack. Unless they're all doing AI generated art, that should get them mad enough.

>>6245856
>higher income
and significantly higher cost of living to go with it
>higher quality of life
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>higher iq
lmao no, see pic related you dumb fuck
>a slight increase
>slight
LMAO

There's a reason so many cuckifornians are leaving their shithole and going elsewhere now that a lot more jobs can be done remotely. Big cities are shitholes that cost way too much, have extremely cucked laws, extremely high crime rates, extremely high homeless populations, and are just overall worse in every way.
Enjoy living in your 400 sqft studio with 8 roommates for $2000/mo though.

Midjourney isn't worth the money. Get Stable Diffusion for free. midjourney team is going to start selling subscriptions to their own fine-tuned Stable Diffusion model because they know how shit their own model is.

I just spent a couple of hours listening to the Midjourney dev live voice chat update in their discord server. I will summarize what I heard:

They were having an "open forum" to discuss the "problem" of cis male sexuality evident in many of the generated images, in particular misuse of the key word "bikini".

All of the users they invited to speak their mind claimed to be women. One of the mods stated that this is because men "have no say" in how it affects women. These women proceeded to claim that images of "unrealistic women" that could appeal to "the male gaze" were no different than generating cp.

Their only concern was the "edge case" of a woman generating suggestive images of women, which according to them would be okay because men are not involved.

The guy who runs Midjourney, Adam I think, agreed, and proposed that users could maybe only generate suggestive images or images with partial nudity if they would opt in to somehow permanently stamping their identity on the image digitally (full name was suggested) so that they could be shamed and held accountable publicly for "being creeps".

The devs concluded that they'd "heard enough" and that no further input was needed from other users. They announced that they will be censoring the word "bikini" and a slew of similar words that can be used to generate images of attractive women. They also floated the idea of randomly changing input words such as woman to man, or bikini to business suit, to eliminate "male bias."

A small argument broke out about this as (paying) users that have been using the service for a while now disagreed with the announcement to censor their art projects. A lead dev was quick to join in and go on a strange rant about how grateful he is that white cis men would not steer the project's direction.

Do with this information what you will. I'm sure someone out there recorded the entire thing, as there were over 1600 listeners.

I would do the same, all these AI devs just want to sell their shit to big corporations, the more woke the better. You don't want anything problematic stand between you and potential hundreds of millions of dollars.
I would outright ban all nudity, all nazi/pol shit from the start

>>6250241
Would you ban images of "unrealistic women" on the basis that anything potentially sexually appealing to "cis men" is inherently problematic?

Maybe it's time for human artists ditch post-modernist crap and go back to realism and naturalism.

Let them cannibalize themselves from within, especially as more money and attention flows to this, and they have to handle dealing with increasingly unsavory shit.

They want to make a holodeck? Fine, unleash the gargantuan dark flood of legally gray/illegal shit that's inevitably associated with that concept, until society is shocked into waking up as to what's happening. Deepfakes were just the prelude.
They want to short-circuit the barrier between imagination and end result? Fine, let the imagination of the internet's sickest fucks run wild on it, then share and publicize it all. Your Technology™ made it after all, not me or them, oh and btw here's where you can contact their legal department...

Because currently I don't think genpop cares what creatives have to say, all they want is end results and novelty. Good intentions never got anyone far in this system, and any eventual lawsuits will only multiply and be strengthened if societal attention and outrage is inflamed as much as possible.

>>6252211
this
if typing prompts makes someone an artist
then ordering food at the restaurant makes me a chef too

>>6252211
>do you consider the person who commissions an artist, an artist
In the context of a commission, then yes. The ultimate end goal is the commissioners idea and the artist is simply a middle man.

>a machine does all the work for you, you don't have to learn the fundamentals of art or mechanical skills to make a piece
Why is this a bad thing? Are we just going to ignore the countless anons who ended up wasting time and effort on learning art and needlessly went through so much frustration? AI can fix this by allowing to skip all of that

>then ordering food at the restaurant makes me a chef too
False equivalence

>>6252223
if a race car that drives itself and literally wins races for you without having to make any effort, are you a driver? do you really understand how a car works? do you take into account weather, speed, have you developed the mechanical skills and coordination to really understand what makes a lap a good lap and a good drive?

>>6252202
if anything, the devs that coded the shit are the ones that deserve credit
the people using the "ai" are just parasites too lazy to learn a skill
every ai shill comment amounts to bitterness towards people who can do something they cant
this whole ai thread spam is just bitterness and jealousy
with some mental illness mixed in because some of the people spamming the internet with ai shilling dont really seem too well in the head

>>6252223
>In the context of a commission, then yes. The ultimate end goal is the commissioners idea and the artist is simply a middle man.

so all of the legwork, and creative decisions are irrelevant? the sentence "draw me asuka from evangelion killing god" makes someone an artist? so by your logic, all of the old masters who were commissioned for portraits, and great paintings of old, were not actually artists, but the rich patrons were all along.... lol.

>>6252240
>My goal is the automation of all parts of society?
while doing what? sitting at your computer "laughing" at people who literally have skills that you could never have in your life, I bet you don't even know how to write a "hello world" in any programming language, if you were a person who dedicated your time to developing a skill you wouldn't be asking such a retarded question,

>>6252242
this is the kind of mental illness the ai shitters have

So, how does this work exactly? Any place I can try it?

Can I seriously give this thing a loose sketch, and a prompt, and have it give me a decent painting for me to fine tune?

Can it use original art to match it? Like, can I give my own artworks to reference? Same for character designs.

Yeah but they didnt know it was ai. He was posting on midjourney thread later and people were asking him if he explained to them what midjourney was and he said, "Did I have to?", he knew he was pulling a fast one on the judges.

>>6250192
Woke horseshit.

>>6253058
Really hope this is the shit that brings down all these scummy art generators. I thought it would have to come to actually disgusting deepfake pedo shit for people to take notice but I'll take anything that fucks AI """"artists""" over.

>REAL artists will always be able to draw no matter the circumstance.
Uh, no?
I'm not here to defend AI because that is retarded, but in this day and age, it is really fucking easy to "cancel" someone ain't it?
They come for the AI first, but you just wait at the edge of that slippery slope and they might just jump at your neck too.

You will draw, sure, for yourself. You will get shadow banned from every major social media site, your PayPal will get locked, you will get deplatformed.
Yeah, you will keep drawing, missing out on every tool out there to help you build a living or a community.

The enemy of your enemy is not your friend, be careful with this shit, if it gets out of control, they will eat (you) too.

I love Ai art, after spending the day playing around with an Ai, this is the future of ART!!

>>6245562
I would KNEEL.

I hope AI destroys the coomers

>>6245612
rigged competition.
AI just an excuse to no longer pay artists

>>6249198
nobody ever drew so there's always been a bunch of active threads about not drawing

>AI just an excuse to no longer pay artists
based

I'm making a video documenting this entire ai art shitshow so normies know what's actually happening. However, I work 60 hours a week and I don't have the time to research and save screenshots/whatever of all the posts/videos/reactions of twitter, /ic/, /g/, and everyone else. Would anybody like to help a fren out and post some shit I can use? I'm looking to get some screenshots of /ic/'s initial reaction way back in april when dall-e 2 was released, some of /ic/'s reaction as ai got progressively better, some of the literal sociopathic reactions of /g/ when they got their grubby hands on art ai, twitter reactions, the rise of "prompt engineers," prompt engineers' seething when they got replaced by an ai, screenshots of youtube comments talking about it, pajeet reactions/links to interviews, etc. etc. I was in /ic/'s very first dall-e 2 thread back in april, I was in the threads on both /ic/ and /g/ ever since then, I watched all the youtubers' thoughts on the issue dating all the way back to april, and a bunch of other shit, but I was too much of a retard to save anything.

>>6256479
Give us channel name or link to check it out

>>6256481
I'll post when I finish desu

>using 4chan post screenshots to red pill normies
Better use the growing outrage of twitter artists, much easier to just search for the big industry ones with lots of likes like RJ Palmer who post all day about AI

>>6256479
/ic/'s reaction to the AI from it's first inception up until now are the following:
First, /ic/ ignored it
Then, /ic/ guffawed and mocked the AI
We're currently observing /ic/ kicking and screaming trying to fight the AI by going as far as trying to contact journalists with false narratives in an attempt to cause a normie uproar against the AI and cancel it like some SJW all the mean while having an existential crisis. It is glorious.

>>6256495
go back to /g/ retard, /ic/ freaked the fuck out the second dalle was released

>>6245562
Boomers that rate art at state fairs don't know what good original art is. It was either this, a photocopier or an outsider artist ripping off Thomas Kinkade.

>>6256498
You were among those who laughed weren't you.

>>6256495
nobody cares pajeet.

>>6256495
and now everyone's back to drawing. Your shill campaign was successful. People freaked out. But now it's clear the tech won't go anywhere

>>6256479
I was planning on doing something similar, yet who knows. Or base a short story on it.

Regarding reactions of all the users and small artists (which deserve posterity, and are likely to be buried underneath generic headlines and bigger events), I've been saving random ones which I've found amusing, interesting, etc. in a text file. I bothered to go back and add links just now, but they're unorganized and mostly twitter horseshit. Not sure how many would be useful:

This in-depth interview with Dave McKean covers a lot of practical, philosophical, personal, etc. ground about what's coming. Some uplifting and depressing soundbites to use:

There's still interesting stuff on /ic/ if you look through the threads and archives, such as the reactions of the japs, or some redditfags banning AI art because everyone already got sick of it:

Also, please do post your channel so I don't have to look for the video later - or post what would make it easier to eventually find in the archives.

And now that this might actually serve some additional purpose, I'll actually go be creative because this shit is enormously draining, addictive, and stressful. I'm yet again reminded how people get addicted to online argument spirals - obviously it's when it's something you're actually passionate about (not to mention something you can project your own creative struggles onto).

the judges are probably dusty ass boomers who can barely operate a phone or just dumb.

this means nothing. it's a small competition and this guy manages to slip in and win.

>I was kinda hoping when I saw John Oliver was doing a segment on ai art that it would be a nuanced break down of the issues but I guess the rest of the public isn’t there yet. Instead it’s still a novel toy to most people and we might need to educate everyone of the problems.
LOL
lmao, even
You're doing a good thing by gathering this info, though. Let's do our best to chronicle these strange times so future generations have some sources from that time, rather than just "people parroting the narrative everyone has agreed on after the fact and cherrypicking the data that fits", which seems to be most of history.

>>6256967
having a recording from midjourney forum in discord would be critical

>>6256967
Exactly, we can all do our part, and hopefully the documentary guy does his thing.
AI art is just one aspect of what's coming, but I feel it's laying out the steps which will play out with anything requiring thinking or creativity, to the utter detriment of the individual. By documenting this historical moment in granular, human detail, we're also getting a glimpse of the same processes which will happen over the much longer-term.

In any moments of great societal upheaval which people have been half-anticipating, many of these random blurbs might often end up being downright prophetic (whether on their own or when looked at together), because everyone is likely on the same unconscious wavelength of some much greater process they often can't see or articulate fully.

p.s i've hardly slept and abstracting shit like this makes my head literally fucking hurt

lmao from midjourney disc, does this anon realize he's a useless garbage from the perspective of his own quotes?

>>6257014
i think we should declare that we are not AI-haters and this instrument is useful, but only for professionals and not people who are uneducated

>>6256990
Go onto their discord and ask everyone nicely, think up some excuse that won't raise any eyebrows. Maybe some people on there document that stuff for whatever reason and could PM you.

>>6257065
the job of a chronicler is just to gather and organize things that seem significant. as long as you aren't purposely information that seems relevant because it's ideologically inconvenient, you're good.

>Pshhh, DRAWING concept art? Get with the times grandpa. We're going to photobash and you will eat all of the derivative, generic garbage that we shit onto your plates
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST AUTOMATE PHOTOBASHING THINK OF OUR HECKING JOBERINOS

I feel a bit bad for the small-time commissioners who are going to get fucked out of commissions to draw someone's deviantart OCs or whatever but """concept artists""" can go rope for all I care. I have a huge collection of concept art books (individual projects as well as profiles for artists, studios, etc.) and the quality drops off of a cliff sometime around 9/11. Of course it's unfair to compare the average corporate artist to someone like Syd Mead or McQuarrie or even to their forebears who lived in times with better inspiration but this apocalyptic event is richly deserved nonetheless and frankly I've been hoping that a something like it would come along and buttfuck the entire industry into smoking rubble.
