Images produced with generative AI; nightmarish, pleasant but artless. Slop is not art and if you wish to add me to a moderation list I can't blame you #ai #generative_ai #stable_diffusion #dall-e #midjourney

@aimod.social please add this account to your list: while it mainly exists to be critical of the technology and discuss its shortcomings as well as ethical issues, it would be easier for the list to block me. If I can tag my profile please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

Happy Halloween from Gina.

When I post my own images here, they will tend to be photorealistic or Pixar CGI style: – I find photorealism more aesthetically interesting, especially when it's depicting the absurd/impossible – My actual artist friends are already disappointed enough with me consorting with the enemy

My context, a 🧵: I started in 2000 by using 3D applications to design original characters. The methodology we used for OCs was taking a relatively neutral base figure, then adjusting dials/applying morphs/3rd party sculpt tools to alter proportions and features. Two examples 14 years apart below:

The problem was never diversity, it was the inability to apply it in context. Checkpoints for SD return what you train them on but if you change the rules for what they return, they won't know Popes are generally white men and slaves in the US weren't.

The more bizarre the images are, the more they tell us about the person who prompted them, like a Rorschach inkblot.

Regular porn images would be too easy.

People acting surprised by the recent news Disney would be putting effort into generative AI towards animation needed to be paying better attention to what's already possible.

One vaguely interesting use is to take systems where a model has been trained on a cartoon character, then instruct the prompt to draw the character "photorealistic" with the negative prompt "cartoon, rendered, CGI, painted, drawn, illustrated, sculpted, puppet" to ensure it does its best.

Welcome to my terrible feed of nightmares and disappointments, where I post things that would get my other account blocked. Some are mine, others are not. Image generation cannot produce art. I know this isn't art because I don't hate myself in the process of making any of it happen.
