Does it still count as a tool?
March 26, 2023
I previously wrote AI Art Panic about how this image generation stuff isn’t going to displace artists much if at all, but, uh, it didn’t age well.
I said that it was more likely to simply augment how artists work. I wrote about how it had limitations, like not being able to generate somebody’s personal character.
Small problem with that assessment:
Character is owned by me, art is by Siplick

The year is 2022. In the world of social media, Twitter has long been the platform of choice for politicians, celebrities, and everyday users alike. But as the years have passed, the once-mighty site has struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape of the internet.
As the lines between the virtual and the physical world blur, Twitter becomes a battleground for hackers, activists, and corporate interests. Despite the best efforts of its engineers and executives, the site is plagued by outages and security breaches, causing frustration and anger among its remaining user base.

If you’ve been on the internet at all lately, you’ve seen AI generated art and discussion of the impact of the tools. You’ve also probably seen a lot of hate for AI generated art. There’s a lot of drama going on, as art focused communities across the internet decide how to handle this. Does AI generated/assisted art need tagged as such? Should it be allowed at all? There’s the whole Deviant Art situation (ArsTechnica). It’s all sorta messy right now, so let’s talk about it.

I’m not being paid to say any of this, I haven’t spoken to any of the companies listed here except for
- Noisedeck, which while is made by two really awesome people, also gets a pretty nasty review here because it doesn’t work for this use case.
- Sleepy Circuits, which I’ve only talked to. I don’t even own their hardware.
Furthermore, I have paid my own money for Visual Synthesizer, Cathodemer, and KodeLife. The first two of which I also review negatively.

I removed this post due to it being a downer. If you view the page source, you can un-comment it, but I have decided the hate from strangers doesn’t matter.
