What is the purpose of AI generated images? When it comes to LLMs I can sort of understand them as Siri was popular long before AI, but what function does AI generated images fill in a normal person’s life?
Remove the damage from the items you’re hawking on Craigslistzuckmarketplace until the buyer’s driven an hour and it’s too late
See a single use case that makes sense here? (Forcing copy/paste)
https://deepmind.google/models/gemini/image/Pretty much everyone at the DnD tables I frequent is in love with slop for their characters. Or environments. I shudder. “No it’s not too bad, look at this”. Of course it’s not all too awful looking, that’s why AI keeps removing artists of jobs. But people using AI for quick images of their characters don’t directly affect this, they don’t care about this, or understand any of it. As an artist I can see the convenience for them, and if it wasn’t for the upheaval AI is causing, the morals behind it and who profits, I wouldn’t have a problem with people using it in this way.
Fuck, that’s depressing. In a setting as creative, authentic, and human as D&D, people are acquiescing to chatbots? Weird.
Becoming an artist or illustrator is hard. It needs passion and dedication. You need to be able to not only imagine your character but use time and effort to make them appear on a blank canvas.
Many people lack time and/or talent to draw their alter ego. Today everything has to be perfect. A pencil sketch is not enough.
I can somewhat understand the urge. People have shitty lifes with shitty jobs. DnD is some sort of short time escape. They like their characters and story to become as visually appealing as possible.
Yeah, its sad. I see it in my friend group too. Me and 1 other person are the only ones that feel grossed out by it. I just dont understand the fascination people have but I guess we are all monke and this is the new shiny thing people think is cool.
Anything you’d normally google an image for. You want a background or an icon or an image for a character. Anything a business would want to pay someone for, logos, branding etc. People who lack artistic skills and want the easy way to get an idea “on paper”. And of course porn
It’s mostly the porn.
As is tradition.
Hmmm, I understand. I think I’m just a little strange as I never really use images for projects, and if I search for images I need inspiration, something AI can’t do as it just gives what I ask.
You could either commission from an artist or ask your computer to make an image of Futa-Sonic getting pegged by Darkwing Duck.
Avoiding to Google, novelty just enough to keep users in the ecosystem another 3 minutes on average.
Never need to hire a graphic designer?
I love my computer, you make me feel alright
Every waking hour and every lonely night
I love my computer for all you give to me
Predictable errors and no identity
I tried out the photos app to make a picture a video. It just kept making me blow bubbles in almost every video. It’s very useless as it only has “subtle movement” or “I’m feeling lucky” Not impressed.
lol @ their Google Photos AI attempt, “now you can modify your photos so they appear to portray something that never happened!”
(Naw not restoration or removing blemishes or crowds or fixing an unfortunate aspect, like “now you’re at the beach when you weren’t!)
