@Manigarm@mastodon.social there are some incredible artists using ai, who are producing really creative stuff. They’re no more plagiarists than a writer who reads other literature or a photographer who uses Photoshop or a visual artist who gets inspiration from other artists. I’m not an artist, just do it for fun and a creative outlet, and for academic research, and use the various apps as a creative generator. I frequently don’t use any artists at all, just style modifiers, or try just using the names of long dead ones, and I do heaps of extra work/mashups in Photoshop. There’s a big difference between some of the more complicated ai art apps such as Disco Diffusion and local installs/Colabs of Stable Diffusion (outputs can be really random) and say, some Midjourney outputs.
