Quicksand Fans

what are y'all's opinions on AI art programs being used to make quicksand and other fetish art?

i'm pretty torn on it, because on one hand we now have tools that can create a lot of art for niche fetish communities like this one (and some of that stuff is pretty damn good), but on the other hand it takes away from traditional artists who spend a lot of time on their craft

so what do y'all think?

It's a beginning. Ten years from now you will be watching very nice AI generated video where the damsel in Tarzan's Hidden Jungle finally sinks all the way under.

It doesn’t take shit away from me or my drawings. I don’t see any kind of emotion in any of it at all, maybe that will improve eventually but I certainly don’t feel threatened at all by AI art. It’s very clear to anyone veiwing it that it’s made by a computer for someone who wishes they could make something themselves but isn’t willing to put any real effort into it. Like letting GarageBand create a rock song for you because you can’t play guitar or drums. That’s all it is to me.

Frankly I think they need some way of identifying. There's a difference between admiring skills and admiring code generated imagery.

I'm not very big on it personally, the bulk of AI "art" I've seen is in part or in whole sampled directly from an actual drawing created by some actual artists. They tend all tend to have the same kind of lighting and ironically lack emotions.

I've got nothing against the idea of AI art, but because so much of the algorithms require them to sample art from actual artists, I'm against its current implementation on principal since it seems like just a new way to rip off artists and get away with it. "It's not stealing, an AI generator made it!!!"

As someone with zero artistic talent, I think it'd be awesome to have a tool that could help me turn my ideas into pictures.

On the other hand I can see how that kind of cheapens art in general, cause it makes anybody able to do something that used to take a lot of time, effort and skill of the person creating it.

On the other hand......
"Alexa, make me a video of three naked cave girls sinking in a tar pit."
*beep*
"Your video is ready. Would you like to watch it now, or add it to your playlist?"

This is addressed to the whole thread here and not just this post. I think we must try to keep in mind the idea, without trying to define it, that there is a difference between a drawing and what is art.

AI is the opposite of art.
There is nothing authentic, creative, poignant, passionate, sentimental or meaningful about it. It takes work from real artists and swirls it around at the whim of whoever plays with it. It’s plastic and flat and silly. To take AI art seriously is a joke in itself.
That’s just my opinion. Real art (whatever that means to you) mirrors the human experience. AI whatever just mirrors laziness and talentlessness. Yeah, you can make something that looks cool sometimes, that’s great, enjoy it if that’s your thing.

Totally agree - AI is the "autotune" of Art
