Should I continue with these?
Personally, I don't think this is the right thread for AI garbage. First of all, there's no AI tag on this thread, and second, this is a zeroGravitas thread, which means only his art should be posted here, and clearly AI "art" (if you want to call it like that) is NOT zeroGravitas' art. But maybe making AI slop by animating his art still counts? I'm not sure honestly. I'd vote for NO, but I have to say I'd vote to abolish any kind of AI across the planet if I could...

Yeah I'm on the same page. While these AI animations aren't half bad, most are. If you allow it here, you allow the slop everywhere else. These IMO belong in their own section.

I got you guys. Anyway those were just debugging experiments with simpliest promts. No is no.
I think if you want to keep making these, then do so. Just put them somewhere...else. Dunno where -- General forum maybe? I agree that these aren't half bad, and they're interesting takes on some of ZG's images.

Agreed, though I don't think people will mind if AviaS creates his own dedicated thread and shares the link here :unsure:
Some people seem to be into creating AI art with ZG style and the artist seems to be ok with it so a dedicated thread might be relevant

Thanks for the AI work Avias! Its still a little off but we're getting closer to being able to make awesome stuff with AI.

Though for a forum thread dedicated to pirating monster porn there sure are a lot of people taking what appears to be moral offense at AI art. Kinda odd.

Oh well, here's 2 new images of the cave story. ZG is still better than the AI, but the gap is narrowing!

We aren't taking moral offence, its just AI tends to be sloppy cringe. I've even said those few here aren't half bad. BUT, if you allow it here, you allow all the SLOP quality in every thread. Rule34, DeviantArt and all those image sites are turning into mountains of AI trash with no standard of quality. AI art has a place, but it should be in it's own place so we don't drown out real art with AI.

Moral offense? There's no offense, just a statement of facts. AI is simply garbage soulless slop, always and forever, by definition. There is no point for it to exists. It makes me smile when you say "the gap is narrowing". There's no gap to narrow.
I'll stop replying to this topic, or the mods will start deleting posts. This is not the thread to discuss it, even though there shouldn't be a discussion in the first place.

I have several issues with AI right now :
  • technological progress is supposed to free us from work so we can focus on creative activities, not the other way around. There is no point in trying to replace artists and programmers except for moguls to save money and that grinds my gears, but it has more to do with the way we organize work in our capitalist societies.
  • the intelectual property theft perpetuated by large companies to generate profit while not paying the artists they stole from has little to do with a bunch of perverted a-holes (and I include myself in that group) trying to fap for free. The day artists get payed or have a way to formally agree for their work to be used in training this concern will vanish, sadly there is a lot of lobbying to make sur AI escapes legislation.
  • the constante marketing does not make justice to this cool new tech and quite frankly I'm getting fed-up with seeing "AI" slapped on everything (especially since it's not really AI).
  • the "AI artists" and "vibe coders" really are a cringy joke, they have no knowledge in their domain and use stolen art and other's work to try and steal their jobs.
  • code generation generally uses under-licence work without concern for the legality or dev's consent, and this is a problem.
  • the data collected by "conversational AIs" is massive, generally really intimate and is not protected by any law, I don't feel like I need to explain why this is VERY dangerous.
That being said if an artist is OK with his work being fed to an RNN to generate look-alike of their work I don't really have an issue with it as long as it's in a dedicated thread so we don't mix generated art with the artist's work.

In all seriousness I'd like to thank you for posting this, it's honestly the first time I've seen a cogent argument (not that I really go looking for them). Most of what I see is either a vague "it's a threat" (and that really is all they say) or a long string of expletives.

Well, I've been an adviser on those matters for a political party in my country so I've had time to think about this haha.
I feel like rejecting RNNs as a whole now is like rejecting electricity back when it was democratized. Paradigm-changing techs can be scary but there is no point in fighting against them, instead I think we should seize it and democratically push it in the right direction via legislation. It can only be dangerous if left unchecked or at the hands of powerful private interests.
