AI "art" could potentially be sold as a cool TTRPG tool - generate not especially perfect or salable portraits, but that's okay, you're just showing players what the NPCs look like. Yes, that replaces stuff I've been commissioned to do in the past and it makes me pucker.
This unsurprisingly is completely lost in all the whole I AM A MASTER ARTIST FOR FEEDING WORDS INTO THIS PROGRAM WAY OF THE FUTURE CHEAP OUT ON HIRING AN ACTUAL PERSON.
@Leucrotta I've seen some pretty wild things coming out of it so I just signed up. Some examples I had seen earlier were tattoo designs so I was inspired to take a stab at a design I want.
Task failed successfully!
@Leucrotta But I did also get this gem. https://labs.openai.com/s/ZFvKdDLzPXm4UvCsnVbg5ze5
@GraySpots Right. And none of it’s terrible; this would be great for brainstorming composition and color, stuff to riff off of and make it truly yours. It’s very late capitalism in that this potentially really neat tool has been marketed and hyped in almost *exactly* the right ways to turn me (and others) off completely.
@Leucrotta It's definitely not good enough for what I would want to replace an artist. Some pretty basic things led to nearly body horry-esque renditions that had no business being so nonsensical. I'll stick with real artists for anything other than "what weird things can I put into the generator like a corgi riding a narwhal."
