An AI on drugs? Interesting...

You would think they could see wasn't AI since your art didn't have 17 fingers bending the wrong way. God, I hate AI.

Hmm, sounds interesting though... doesn't make any sense but interesting.

Sorry, your art is too good to be real. It must be AI. Try drawing it in more artistic style, like pokemon or anime. Meanwhile *delete*
/sarcasm
This is really ridiculous people are starting to delete 'organic' drawing because they think only AI can draw those. I hope this get solved, otherwise, hosting have become quite cheap if you know how to make your own site.

Any suggestions? Need something where ppl can comment ( for critics and so on ) and sent like private messages. Also no registration required for mature content.

oof

Meanwhile i've been having a lot of fun doing a lot of AI-assisted art and posting/discussing it on places like 4chan's ai threads and on Discord because nobody gives a shit there. I've been able to make things featuring camera film grain and lens distorsion that would be very difficult to painstakingly reproduce with a brush.

The real problem here is that it disrupts the whole social media aspect of gallery websites like FA and DA, where building an identity as a bigshot skilled artist and gaining followers is part of the whole experience for a lot of people. I've seen way friendlier and more helpful attitudes from random 4chan anons than a lot of the users on here posting fake compliments and trying to suck up to populars.

Generative neural art is one of the best tools for creativity ever developed since Photoshop and Blender and I'm painfully disappointed that the art community's response is kneejerk reactionary fear. It hurts to see people you think of as respectful react with shrieking, unthinking hatred when presented with something new; that the spirit of curiosity and playfulness has withered within them to a sad charcoal husk. Without that spirit there is no art; without that spirit the artist is a shuffling laborer, the same as any assembly-line worker or Amazon packer - someone who is doing a worthwhile job but cannot strive to truly create within it.
The sadder thing is that those who have swallowed the loud line put out by that fearful chorus have decided to enquire no further; after playing with generative art for a few weeks, you really get a keen feeling of the signature of each engine!
I want to ask - though know that if I did I would be, at best, ignored, at worst, banned for trolling - as to what checkpoint they thought Irreversible was using? What Lora? Does it show signs of inpainting? Did you see cfg blotches? Did the images have exif data or a watermark from Automatic1111? Did you find the ComfyUI workflow in the file?
Chances are the decision was made by someone to whom those words would be as alien as 'photoshop, wacom, layer mask' would be to a 19th century portrait painter.

Well said, i suppose it's more about ignorance than anything else - the ones most heavily against it are the ones who never used it themselves. It's not some magic wish genie program. Sure, it's easy to get something out that looks passable by traditional notions of what "quality artwork" is, but getting it to produce exactly what you want out of it is nearly impossible. Drawing is a more fun and pleasant experience compared to fiddling with prompts and settings for hours and not getting any closer to your idea like a gambling addict who keeps spinning a slot machine to get the jackpot. However, used in tandem with regular artistic methods it can speed up a lot of the tedious work like backgrounds, coloring, textures etc. Stuff you can just as easily use blender or stock photos for and not get any complaints.

I do have a problem with people passing generated work off as if they "drew it", but they're mainly fooling themselves with that. I wonder how many artists on here have started to use it but haven't openly admitted to it and their followers just never noticed.

Yes, exactly! It's easy to get something that looks 'good', it's nigh impossible to get something that looks right. I went into it expecting the magic box, but after about three hours I was ready to throw my computer out the window, screaming in frustration. That's when I knew it was a great tool!
There was a story going around a while back of 'Midjourney art wins art contest!'. Shocking! Horrifying! Or, alternatively, amazing! Advanced! Of course, reading down to the third paragraph, the person that submitted the work spent three months tweaking the prompts and compositing and balancing the work in photoshop to 'prove that you didn't need to be an artist'. I had to laugh. Psst, guess what... you're the artist now.
My current purpose is getting it to do backgrounds and background details - like, I want a shelf of bottles here, but I really don't want to spend all day designing bottles, drafting the shelf, and drawing them in - there's not enough specificity, I just need the viewer to understand 'a shelf of bottles in a storage room'. And people do not appreciate impressionism....
Honestly, mastering GNN art is the only way I'll get my graphic novel done before I die! XD

I often describe Stable Diffusion as 'super advanced google image search'. You're probably not gonna find exactly what you want, but you'll find something close.

I also like to use it for human faces, because I feel guilty about referencing real people when I draw smut.

And yeah, being dishonest about art is the trashiest thing someone can do. Either lying about creating it or lying about your methods - they're setting people up for failure and stealing credit. As people get the 'feel' for GNN produced art and get canny about what it looks like - like all anime models based off of Counterfeit, which is... all anime models... draw the same hips - they're going to start getting called out hard.
That said, if someone is a fan of artist that's so repetitive and generic that they can spit out Stable Diffusion results without being noticed - well...

The Follower and recognition stuff is noting i would care about in the first place. If ppl enjoy what i do and maybe get inspired that's pretty much all. That's why i wouldn't care having a personal site with less exposure. It's not like i would gain or lose anything by that, just posting stuff, nothing more.

Sure, i'm just saying that looked at from that perspective it's seen as if you're "cheating the game", and thus get reported.

Not even sure it was reports, looks more like an admin here has a little vendetta going on here, 'cause 6 images removed at once doesn't make any sense. Which makes getting them back here pretty futile in the first place. There is noting worse then a community driven by insecure, unprofessional and indecisive ppl, which a site that is focusing on Furry art should have no shortage of.
Fells like i'm being caught in the middle of a war same like painter vs photographer, traditional artist vs digital artist, digital artist vs 3D and so on... shit changes, world is moving forward. Get caught of guard and your left behind in your narrow minded believes ( like me and electric cars , can't stand that emotionalless, clean looking, no risk taking junk, fells like me in car-form )

You can always post at other places (DA, Weasyl, Twitter, Transfur, Discord, whatever) , if you don't want to deal with that crap. I really haven't been using FA much for posting things in the past years and use it mainly to follow other people.

Hmm, tried Discord 'cause i kinda want to stay away from pure furry sites or stuff i have no control over. Seems pretty nifty but so many settings. How do i even link to the server? Have to figure a lot of stuff out there.

I really don't understand how people can mistake your original hand sculpted/painted art for A.I...Either they're that ignorant or are jealous of your talent...

Calling someone jealous or especially talentless is something i would never do... ignorant, well that's another thing. I'm not even sure if it got reported in the first place, 'cause like 6 images got deleted at once ( some older ones too ) ... looks more like an admin saw my last post and just went on a rampage without even looking at everything else or reading my posts.

My take on AI "art" is basically someone puts in a bunch of keywords to tell an "AI" to put bits and bobs together from already created art (ie, images, paintings, art, etc...both legit or outright stolen) in order to create a picture that represents what the user specified.
There is absolutely NOTHING creative in this process. It's the user setting search parameters, and an algorithm pulling out data to meet the parameter requirements. Nothing more. Sure, some of it looks pretty. But it's not creative in the least. It's taking from reality, or from creative people's work, to extrapolate data. "AI Artists" are not artists. They're "search criteria writers". Nothing more.

Your art is interesting, it's organic, it's visceral. It's rough at times, but in a way that pulls your thoughts out onto "canvas". You are CREATING something, even if it's just small pieces of a whole.
Whatever AI "art" is, now or in the future, don't that ever hinder you from your art, from creating.

I'm sure that AI "art" will continue to evolve, looking better and better. That's the way of technology. That's something that society will have to deal with, as I'm sure that people are and will pawn off an AI "art piece" as their own work.
But whatever AI "art" is and becomes, that should have no bearing on what you do. Keep doing it. Keep your style. I, and many others enjoy it.

Like i said in my first journal ( which i deleted some time ago ) AI will take over, already has or is doing it. 100% sure all creative sites ( be it drawing, writing etc. ) are already full to the brim with that stuff even having after making rules against it. It's just a lost battle and a struggle against the inevitable.

Personally that stuff i saw is way to clean, to similar, to detailed/overdrawn or almost impossible to archive by normal means... well maybe not impossible but it would take a lot of time. Also pretty sure everything is so diluted by now that you can't even make out any art style at all, unless specifically trained to copy someone.

There is enjoyment in drawing. It's calming and sometimes unpredictable. Using more brushwork instead of 3D pretty much showed me that i tried way to hard to make something perfect, which only lead to frustration. I can pretty much just cut out a certain part of a picture, rearrange it and easily paint over it again to make it fit with the rest, which is the beauty of using messy or textured brushes instead of making everything look clean.

I already pretty much did that in my scraps folder. Not as detailed but still. Also screenshots can be easily manipulated and wouldn't prof anything. Besides of that, i'm not a person who would bend down to any kind of pressure which is directed at me, especially not if i have to prof anything. I know it, that's all that matters.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to generate TF art using AI...
But even if it is, that's some serious bullshit. Fuck those people reporting you.
