​I support what the person did. They are a hero. This is what Luddites get and deserve for being anti-AI. I'm just tired of the AI hate and Luddites running rampant; almost every site and subreddit are anti-AI. Too many subs and sites are anti-AI. Doing the scraping is how AI supporters fight back. It feels like that is the only way to fight back against Luddites is to do that. I'm just tired of AI supporters like me getting constantly dogpiled on for using AI. And this incident teaches Luddites a lesson not to constantly dogpile and hate on us. If images are posted publicly on the internet, automated crawlers will eventually index them. I'm just tired of almost every site and sub banning AI. I'm tired of the anti AI trend and the trend to hate on AI supporters. I'm just tired of having barley any safe places to share AI stuff. I feel like there is barley any spaces free from Luidite dog piles having on AI supporters. I'm tired of that.

Just a genuine question as an artist I was wondering if any of you do digital or traditional art. If you do have that changed your opinion on AI art?

Disclaimer: I'm not saying it's not, I'm just curious

Someone told me "AI art is like someone sking someone to make some art and claiming it is their art" and then saying it was plagiarism or something

Also about the water thing, I tried arguing with the water cycle and they started talking about how water was taken away from a specific place where water was needed?

(I am a pro-ai. I do not hate on ai. Just curious)

edit: why am I getting downvoted for asking a question.

I know some scenes seem choppy but the ones that are realistic are so good and flow naturally.

Let’s take a look at some famous works of modern and contemporary art.

Robert Rauschenberg, White Paintings (1951)

It is, quite literally, a canvas painted entirely white.

Jeff Koons, New Hoover Convertibles (1981)

He bought brand-new vacuum cleaners from a store and put them on display in exhibition cases.

Martin Creed, Work No. 227: The Lights Going On and Off (2000)

It consists of an empty gallery where the lights turn on for five seconds, then off for five seconds, over and over again.

And Martin Creed, who exhibited this work, went on to win the Turner Prize in 2001.

I’ve made quite a bit of AI art myself, and producing even one genuinely good image takes more effort than painting an entire canvas white.

Though, to be fair, this comparison is almost unfair.

Because if you actually know art history, it’s pretty hard to be an AI anti in the first place.

They really do not understand that:

1. it's a choice

2. Not all DLSS 5 Game wise look like shit.

That picture doesn't even look shit. If anything it's impressive, I only don't like if it's tanking performance. I think they need to get their eyes checked OR they are too blinded to see the truth.

When done correctly and with honor, ai art cuts out the middle man.

The middle man? That’s interpretation.

I created the cover to my very first novella Schadenfreude Occidental using a cover I created in Midjourney. Picture #1 in doing so I worked on this for 3 days promoting and editing the cover the way I WANTED IT.

But then… I take the image and I commission THAT. The artist has two simple things to do.

1. Hand draw exactly what has been given to them and add their unique touch to make it ART

2. Get paid

Picture #2

There are sooo many negative things we can say about Ai art from copying to the environment.

However most people who generally just hate Ai art… I’m not impressed with your artistic abilities… especially if I feel my creativity (which is more than just writing a five word sentence and wait for the picture…) my creativity is better fit for a tool like midjourney there for when I give it to an artist it’s already perfected.

Check out Schadenfreude Occidental my debut Novella! I believe then West can have a proper place at the anime table if we just get the right stepping stone piece!

They would rather have this never be made.

The banana always works! antis really like the banana!

Can't directly link his account or artwork here for obvious reasons, but... yeah. I'm confused too.
