Selling A.I. Art is cruddy...

  Prompt colorful scumbag      Art from Midjourney, Dall-E, Stable Diffusion, etc. has been in debate in recent times. These machine learning algorithms have studied art from well-known artists. Should they not be credited? People are selling A.I. art on sites like Etsy. Oh, it's nice to look at. The work has been created using a soulless algorithm. Folks who actually make artistic stuff have to compete with this crud. A.I. art can flood the market. People will pay attention to that art too. No doubt. Why pull at the strings of artistic integrity? That only solidifies the issues with using machine learning algorithms to make images because there will always be people who will take the least resistance and exploit stuff. Using A.I. for recreational, educational, or personal use is fine. Commercial use of A.I. is shady. At least transform it. Don't go to Craiyon.com, type a prompt for wood textures, and sell the images that the A.I. produces. Do people even want all th...

Horrors and beauties not once made before The use of machine-based learning to make these pictures is up for debate. What has been rendered in the last few years varies. Deformed hands and messed-up lettering are things people mock AI for. For example, fair should be the word. Because the AI studied countless pictures with words in them, the AI would try to make pictures with words in them, but the words would be messed up, with rare instances where the AI got it right with short words. The machine-based learning was meant to study pictures, not words, but because the words are in those pictures, the AI would at times render pictures with words that don't exist. The lettering might even be messed up. Nonetheless, the feats of image mixing have made some outstanding art or imagery for those who see A.I. as a talentless artist that copies off the...
