Just look at those eyes, fellas~. She hates that she’s being bought and hates the idea of being owned by a giant~. Just delightful~!

@Mrgoblinging7 Looks statistically-generated (made with “A.I.”).
-
@Olo yup, echodeck is indeed a synthographer
-
@foreverlurk New word; not sure if I like it.
-
@Olo Don’t shoot the messenger, hehe. “Synthography” is the term that is being used in English to describe images generated partially or completely with AI.
-
@foreverlurk Well, I think I do prefer that to the term “AI art”
-
@foreverlurk Yeah, I looked it up. I’m still consulting with etymologists before I adopt a style position.
-
@Olo Ai images are infecting so many places . Hopefully we can have browser wide filters in the future .
-
@frollo Yeah I’m particularly bothered when people aren’t transparent about it (and pretend it’s their work, try to sell it, etc)
-
Just my 2 cents but,
Knowing how the “AI” is taught I’m not a fan of their art. I worry I’m putting effort into creating something while someone puts a few prompts into a program for it to mimic creation. I know its not quite the same but to me its like crediting a record as a good singer instead of the person that was recorded.

My two cents : I still believe there is value to making it yourself. It’s like saying, ‘why bother painting this landscape on canvas if I can wipe out my cell and take a picture’? That was the fear behind the invention of photography last century, and digital photography more recently (which I’m old enough to remember causing heated debates with ‘true’ photographers).
My take will always be that the act of creating the art, the actual process - brush strokes, words written, clay sculpted - are as important as the end result itself. Art and artist can’t be dissociated - the fact that a human mind and/or body was behind it has intrinsic value. What another person is using as a medium is irrelevant.
I do have a problem with selling synthographies, as it was trained on copyrighted materials for which the original artists weren’t compensated. But if we focus solely on size content such as what is posted above, honestly, it’s incredibly niche - a drop in the ocean of what generative AI is used for, and a harmless one at that. I mean, sure for us it matters, because we’re macro-/micro- philes. My real concerns are abuse of generative AI for media manipulation and fake news.
Disclaimer: Echodeck is a cool dude and isn’t selling his art, or hiding the fact that he’s using AI. Someone shared his work here without specifying (or knowing) that it was the case. So please don’t lash out on him.

@foreverlurk I promise I won’t go hate on him or anything haha, I do try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. But when I went to the link I hadn’t seen any indication that this was AI? Let me know if I’m missing something, maybe DA moved where that stuff is called out.
-
@littlest-lily You’re right, it’s missing! Hadn’t noticed on this one but if you look at previously published works earlier this year, you’ll see they are properly tagged as “Created using AI tools”.
I think it might be a bug with the DA uploader that unchecks the box randomly (I had the same issue a few times)
-
@foreverlurk Ohhh, yeah I would believe that. Deviantart is certainly not a perfect website
