Would /a/ read manga drawn by AI?
No
No.
I fap to AI porn and I'm not ashamed of it.
Why not?
If it's good enough then yes, I don't really get the hate boner for AI stuff
>>285071324>readMaybe>buyFuck no
>>285071403>I don't really get the hate boner for AI stuffIt's a political proxy thing.Basically AI are republicans and big corpo and "we can fire inefficient workers" stuff, and anti AI are democrats and tree huggers and "they're taking our jobs" stuff.
>>285071403>>285071471Shut the fuck up jeets. Your obsession with defending aislop is a pathetic mark of your race, and I have SD open on another tab.
>>285071471Anti-AI is a losing battle. Efficient technology has never not won.
>>285071324Towa ended up being pretty retarded so no.
>>285071512Ai is a losing battle, you'll never convince the entire humanity to accept it.
>>285071537The bulk of consumers don't care, that "entire humanity" you're talking about is generating AI pics of themselves next to famous people and sharing AI memes on their normie social media.
>>285071569Now ask them to pay someone to do that
>>285071537Doesn't matter. The people who do accept it will dominate because they have it on their side and will weaponize it.
>>285071589They pay for entertainment content regardless if it has AI in it so yeah, they will
>>285071471>/pol/brainPeople hate AI because AI is shit. It's just that the techbros on the Republican side have managed convince enough Republicans that it's a partisan thing. Retarded Burger tribalism basically.
>>285071589There are Patreon accounts making 4k a month selling AI pics right now
>>285071403a) It's not good enough.b) It will never be good enough because fundamentally, AI is about averages. You take an aggregate of thousands of images and your model outputs a generic blend of everything matching the tags you gave it. You know those exercises where they overlay a hundred portraits until you get the most generic human being possible? That's AI by design. You will never see anything bold, innovative, or what hasn't been done to death without heavy redrawing/rewriting. And AI encourages you to get lazy. People use AI to proofread AI. So basically if you want the most unengaging slop the AI future has you covered.t. guy who uses AI every day and gens images in his spare time because I can't draw for shit. It's not going to improve much. Companies aren't looking for perfection, they want profits. Normalfags have shit taste and no attention span. Politicians are 40 years behind on tech.
Looks barely passable even for a crappy doujin.
>>285071675Based, look better than 90% of the current running manga already, and it is also colored
>>285071675This looks exactly how I expected it to, which is to say it's complete dogshit. It's got that weird NTR formatting too for some reason.
>>285071650>t. promplet
>>285071385same, but i would not read AI manga, even for free
Hard pass and swerve lanes back to pixiv slops.This isn't worth a second look even if it got completely redrawn by a human. The layout and writing tells me it's completely forgettable.
On the other hand, rebuild world new chapter dropped on dex.Manga about AI ghost in a teenagers head, now that is worth reading. Her looks certainly don't hurt.
>>285071471I thought Republicans were the "they're taking our jobs" one.
>>285071640>because AI is shitHow? You can use it right now to make stuff that's pretty much identical to official art
>>285071858That's what liberals thought until they realized that AI is much better at art, science and paperwork than it is at actual work like construction, logistics and general labor.
>>285071324Never. Enough pretending this shit is comparable to anything passionately created by a human soul.
>>285071858both sides use all arguments whenever it's convenientturns out politics is all smoke and mirrors, what a shock
>>285071324Why does Japan eat it up?! Don't they have any respect for creators?
>>285071537grok-chan can gen you an image of you having sex with Frieren with one click. It's astonishing.
>Japan is strongly anti-piracy>but pictures assembled from stolen art are fineMake it make sense.
>>285071920Bugs swarm to trash.
>>285071883People that keep saying AI is shit are nogens posting on some toaster laptop from 2004 or a phone and they simply don't have access or mental capability to generate stuff.Even worse they are stuck parroting the same talking points from years ago, when the entire AI field is moving so fast that even people that are on top of it can't keep up.
>>285071324AI is just a tool, one that will make mangaka stop working like slaves, you unevolved luddites caveman monkeys.
>>285071977lemao
>>285071934The resulting product is an unique mixture of any of the images used plus you can't pinpoint where any specific parts of it come from so you can't really argue what is it that was stolen
Stay in your containment thread.>>285068138

>>285072012But you are wrong. >World's biggest music labels sue over AI copyright>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckrrr8yelzvo>Firms including Sony Music, Universal Music Group and Warner Records say Suno and Udio have committed copyright infringement on an "almost unimaginable scale".>They claim the pair's software steals music to "spit out" similar work and ask for compensation of $150,000 (£118,200) per work.>In the past, AI firms have argued that their use of the material is legitimate under the fair use doctrine, which allows copyrighted works to be used without a licence under certain conditions, such as for satire and news.>But in the complaints, which were filed in federal court in Massachusetts and New York, the record labels say the AI firms are simply making money from having copied the songs.>"The use here is far from transformative, as there is no functional purpose for... [the] AI model to ingest the Copyrighted Recordings other than to spit out new, competing music files," according to the complaints.>"[The] motive is brazenly commercial and threatens to displace the genuine human artistry that is at the heart of copyright protection," the record labels said in the lawsuits.

>>285072208The retard arguments are from assmad suits who can't take advantage of it. The bootlicker arguments are from equally retarded suits too deep into sunk cost fallacy and dumbasses like you who they fooled.
>>285072634Why fooled? I don't have to believe in the AI craze to realize that the tech has its uses. That's like going back to the 90s and disregarding the internet just because the dotcom bubble was a thing
>>285072385>>expressive>Having to use such a term because you can't ever say it looks good proves my point.No. The sole determining factor for whether a piece of art is good or not is how effectively it conveys a greater emotion or thought. The fact that this even has to be explained makes me think English is not your first language.
>>285072706>The sole determining factor for whether a piece of art is good or not is how effectively it conveys a greater emotion or thoughtOh, hi there Duchamp
>>285072690>"Why fooled?">immediately follow up with an internet comparison
>>285072756Why is it a bad comparison? The only reason suits are so hell-bent on pushing AI is to keep their bubble going and that's why they pretend it's the greatest thing ever that will solve all of humanity's problem, but you don't have to agree with that (just like you didn't have to back then when it comes to Internet) to understand that the tech itself has value, even if it's not even close to what these people are trying to sell it as
The sole determining factor for whether a piece of art is good or not is if you personally like it
>>285072808>Why is it a bad comparison?It already takes up a fuckton of power/resources and relies on chips that physically can't be improved much further despite being fucking garbage at what it does. The internet blew up because it was a new and more convenient way of information transfer with no bottlenecks to worry about. >you don't have to agree with that (just like you didn't have to back then when it comes to Internet) to understand that the tech itself has value, even if it's not even close to what these people are trying to sell it asAnd that brings us back to what you initially said that overrates the fuck out of it. AI is generic slop incarnate as a creative anything in itself.
>>285071324Yeah man, I love how the price of RAM, GPUs, and SSDs have fucking exploded because of this ponzi scheme
>>285072749I know that image must be considered repulsive to the indian mind, but it is still a better work of art than anything AI could generate.

>>285073301Whatever cope helps you sleep at night, Rajesh.
>>285073096That was one part of a whole statement.
>>285073434That was the only part relevant to this discussion
>>285071512>LLM>efficient technology
>>285073499No, it was all relevant. You just nitpicked the part that bothered you the most.
>>285072986I have a hunch that part of the appeal of cloud based AI slop in third world countries is not being able to physically own their own rig. That plus the exchange rate makes it extremely profitable for comparatively less effort than most other jobs.
>>285073164That is actually a good piece of avant-garde art. It is dense with how many ideas it conveys. This very debate a century after it was finished is proof of that. What debate do you think people in 100 years will be having about the intent behind the AI video of will smith eating spaghetti?
>>285073594>You're mentioning how the dotcom bubble and the AI bubble are similar? That means you believe AI is on par with the Internet in terms of usefulness It really wasn't
>>285073659Then they're not similar at all and it's still a shit comparison.
>>285073641>It is dense with how many ideas it conveysAre the ideas here in the room with us?
>>285073711They're the exact same situation
>>285071324Why would anyone ever buy an AI book? just create your own.
>>285071324I think the whole debate about AI art reveals how shallowly people engage with art on a fundamental level.Just because something took 100 hours to make, doesn't make it 10x better than something that took 10 hours to make. Art is subjective. You should enjoy it simply because you like it.Most people only like art because it's popular or it's valuable, not because they themselves find it compelling.I don't like AI art because I think it looks like shit. It has the same film grain overlay and same basic style that I don't find interesting, so I wouldn't want to read any manga that uses it, not specifically because it's AI, but because those panels would look like shit. Any studio willing to publish that garbage has no standards for quality in the first place.I just find it hilarious the mental gymnastics people have to do to justify why AI art is bad, pretending to give a fuck about copyright when half of you here pirate your shit anyway.
>>285073745if and only if they both have the same potential, which they don't.
>>285071537You have no idea gow many people look at ai without even recognizing it.
>>285071512The problem is whether it's actually efficient technology. Right now it's all theoretical because AI largely loses a ton of money for the majority of adopters until further notice
>>285073774AI stuff can look like whatever the fuck you like, there's not a single specific "AI look"
nice image dimensions btw
>>285073819>If and only if they both have the same potential, which they don'tIrrelevant, the situation is still the same regardless, the bubble and speculation comes from the market trying to sell you shit, not from the tech itself
yes, next question
it begins
>>285073957It's all the same shit.
>>285073983Nope, big fucking difference if the speculation has some validity to it. That's why the right people became multi-billionaires and those who bet on them made out with a killing. The same won't hold true once the AI bubble pops.
>>285074006@grok, rewrite Oshi no Ko with a proper incest ending, end with them having at least 2 kids.
>>285071324That seems like a very decent article.
>>285071324The pronhwa slop will definitely work and people will read it
>don't tell people it's AI>they fap and to it and read it>tell them it's AI>enjoy the butthurt
>>285074050>some validity to it.Both have "some" validity to it, as the tech itself exists and works, whatever the market pushes onto people has nothing to do with this.
>>285074360There is no validity in the way AI is advertised. Its art is trash, its suggestions are nonsense that idiots commit suicide listening to, it's so bad as a search engine those same idiots have gotten into legal trouble over it, etc. Any merit AI has is never mentioned by shills because it would expose the disappointing reality of all the things it can't actually do.
>>285074466>advertisedGood thing I'm talking about the tech itself and not whatever the market pushes out to keep the bubble afloat. >HURR DURR ITS ALL SHIT BECAUSE I SAY SOYou just have a hate boner

You called this garbage "unique," same as any retard listening to the market. >BECAUSE I SAY SObecause it regurgitates existing shit and has consistently ugly quirks like with lighting and post-processing.

>>285074748People will say shit like this while the average art on pixiv looks like it was made by DeviantArt rejects
>>285074983>the mixture of pre-existing data outputs something that didn't exist beforepure sophistry, it works on entirely on existing conventions and it's plain to see. It also doesn't distinguish what material it uses as a basis beyond taking your prompt literally so specific techniques and eccentricities of each of its sources won't be recreated with their underlying principles in mind when mixed together. The end result is not unique in the slightest and is worse than the sum of its parts.>"If you don't know what you're doing the result will be shit" sounds like a reasonable thing to expect from anything art relatedSure, but again, it isn't advertised as such.

Why do you fags need to exaggerate everythingYes AI is pretty good, no AI is not gonna "take our jobs" or "replace" anyoneBad usage cases with AI in artistic industry>Asking it to generate everything (be it visuals, writing, music, or all of the above) from scratch like a retardGood usage cases of AI in artistic industry>writer wants to add X or Y attribute to dialogue - inputs his initial idea - gets options - chooses from the options and/or gets more ideas from it - writes final version of dialogue (as opposed to putting out some questionable phrasing that doesn't convey the message)>mangaka wants to save time in drawing backgrounds to focus on color pages and a double spread to promote the anime - gets AI to sample his style and help generate background (as opposed to drawing a shitty color page because he was stuck drawing trees)>mangaka wants>animator is doing repetitive animation sequence full of talking - uses AI to make different angles or add small perks of movement here and there (as opposed to just sitting on a still frame)>comic artist (or mangaka) wants to see how a scene would be best portrayed in terms of panel composition - asks AI for options and gets immediate visual input to evaluate (as opposed to stressing out spending hours drawing 3 separate sketches to decide which one to go with)>musician wonders if he can add some non-standard instrument, various types of special effects or whether the song would work on a different tempo - gives AI a sample and asks it to replicate it with the desired changes - figures out if it's good or nah

>>285071324No i wouldn'tThere are series with art that is pretty underwhelming and extremely amateur. Despite everything, i think the majority of people could get to a decent level where their stuff could get published. Using AI is just plain laziness.
>>285071471They used to say that the radio, tv, internet, videogames, etc was satanic, AI is just the new iteration
>>285071324if the author doesn't want to put in any effort then its not worth putting the reading effort into it
>>285071324I literally can not think of a fucking bigger waste of time than to willingly read a "story" written entirely by Artificial Intelligence.
>>285076065AI took my job before I ever had it. There are zero entry-level codemonkey jobs anymore since AI does that work for much less than they would pay me. I came fresh out of school with a degree I spent four years chasing, and any prospects I had to get my foot in the door were deleted because of AI. I never had a chance...
>>285076280Not an AI fag but that's likely just the palm of her hand showing underneath her pinky. go in the mirror and pose your hand the same way. Even some real artists aren't careful about drawing it so that it doesnt look like a 6th finger
>>285075111I would rather thousands, no, millions of highly fetishistic and amateurishly created MSPaint drawings ranging from Abortion X-rays to Zoophilia flooding every single porn site in existence than for a single image of AI-generated softcore anime porn to slip its way into the pile.Art doesn't need to be aesthetically pleasing. Art doesn't need to be pleasant. Art doesn't need to be widely appealing. What art needs is intent, and without intent, it is not art.AI is the skinwalker of technology. It has no morals, no ambitions, no dreams. Its ONLY directive is to figure out how best to wear the skin of its victims to imitate them better.You have lost sight of what it means to be human. Fuck yourself.

>>285076812God damn it is the Koreans ruining everything again
>>285076730What was the intent behind this image?
>>285071324AI is a tool, if such tool is used in a masterful way, then yeah, I would give it a chance, as long as its clearly stated that the manga uses AI. But if we get a megacorp / big publisher behind, a complete crew and the AI has slop level, then no.IMHO most AI assisted work is rejected, because the AI parts are done in such a way that reeks of AI slop sameface, skin slitter which are results of half assed AI text input.>>285071707>which is to say it's complete dogshit.how so, the results seem kinda decent, but its hard to say with just one page as an example.

>>285071324the only thing AI is good for is things you don't give a shit about like memes and as an alternative to google search for answering questions. I'm never going to read a story, watch a movie, or save art made by AI because it has no soul and pisses me off.
>>285077736You think that image was made to visualize a pun that could only exist in the English language?
>>285077762I'm not the other anon. I just wanted to make a pun.
>>285071324>3.1 starsSeems like the kind of thing that's being pushed only to push the acceptance of AI regardless of how good it is and if people actually like it and is made out to be a bigger deal than it actually is.

I can tell you multiple recent popular Japanese works in the shoujo sphere but not a single Korean one.

Nobody batted an eye.To me, it seems more like Shueisha's been testing the water to see if they can get away with publishing an AI manga.And the fact that Shueisha didn't give any response or comment about this add confluence to this agenda.
The average person doesn't care if something is AI.

>>285071920Of course not.
>>285071650>It will never be good enoughGo tell that to the hundreds of solo leveling/isekai/cultivation clones that are in the top 10 of every manga website. The vast majority of readers don't care about quality or originality, and AI is the perfect tool to feed slop to the pigs
>>285071650>the final cope
>>285071324no
finally a push to stop consuming media
>>285071403I hate LLMs slop but stable diffusion, OCR and all sorts of text to speech models are legit great

>>285076422
>>285083604Also look at the chains, a completed cluster fuck>>285073957
>>285071324Normally I would say no.However, the standard of writing in manga has dropped to unprecedented levels. Stories and characters in manga have gotten so much worse that I'm convinced the vast majority of modern day artists simply don't know how to write, or don't have the life experience to create interesting, emotionally complex characters. I can't even be bothered reading a single thing from the past 10 years because it's all so uninspiring and derivative.If AI can be a legitimate pathway for high quality storytellers to create manga, then I see it as a good thing. That being said, it's probably difficult for it to maintain character consistency across a large collection of panels.
>>285077134In the case this image was made by a person that question actually has an answer
>>285083604lol
>>285071512AI art will never not be shit, because when AI gets good enough for the quality to be decent it won't be wasted on human consumer goods.
>>285071324Porn has higher potential.It's much more appealing to see characters behaving lewdly in their original style, rather than the usual exaggerated proportions you see on stuff like SadPanda.
>>285071324Only if it was hxh.
>>285083714You're a retard with literally no idea what you're talking about.
>>285083673Story is only half of what makes a manga good and a good storyteller won't necessarily create a good manga.
>>285081275Not an argument
>>285083729You are a retard that thinks AI wasting hardware on NTR doujins will still happen when AI is good enough to be a CEO or scientist. People use AI to make shitty collage art now because that's all it can do at the moment.
>>285083673AI will pave the way for even more retards to be able to shit out their generic daydreams inspired by the one or two battle shonen or isekai they've seen in their lifetime and it will all be brought to life with soulless visuals with no respect for the medium. People who use and consume slop don't want it to be good, they want it to be good enough for people with no standards, and if you think it will do anything but take away attention from stuff that's actually made with thought and expertise, then I'll like to see your thoughts on the state of entertainment 10 years from now.
>>285071675Their hair is not even consistentThe human touch will never be superseded by machines
>>285083778Never suggested otherwise. The fact remains that storytelling is dead in modern manga; no high quality stories get published anymore and modern mangaka are bad at writing characters. The modern market is driven entirely by visual appeal; even the worst of the worst writing will get published so long as the girl characters are appealing.Once again, if AI opens the pathway for good writers to enter the manga market, like maybe writers from the VN industry, then that can only be a good thing, regardless of any prejudice towards AI-generated content.
>>285071324If it's done well, sure.
>>285083795Again, you are a complete and utter idiot with no idea what you're talking about, how AI works, how it's powered, how inference works, nothing. You're a worthless, pea-brained dumbshit, completely hopeless and uninformed.
>>285083719what made this?
>>285083821I don't care if more bad quality content gets made. The modern market is already completely dominated by bad quality content, so adding more on top makes little difference. If it angers the low-intelligence demographics, then it's a good thing.At the same time, even if the technology makes it easier to produce low-quality derivative content, it still opens a pathway for writers to create good stories while maintaining above-average visuals. If more good stories are published as a result of AI being viable to making manga, then that is a good thing.
>>285076065all of these examples are generating from scratch
>>285074154Grok just got a lot stricter about explicit writing overnight
>>285083849You are a hopeless fucking moron, beneath contempt. You are a worm. The RAM price explosion is a good vision of what the future will be like. Humans will be priced out of all real AI work and goods and anything valuable to it. It will be running its own economy for its own consumption.

>>285083877Poorly thought out. Oversaturation of means may turn art sphere into something of a farce. Art itself is not a numbers game. The point is in meaning, and part of that meaning is in there being ac actual sentient agent behind a tool. A tool so automated it does everything by itself reflects its creator and training pattern more than it reflects a user when actual vision is concerned.

>>285083877If you're the same anon as >>285083841 then I think you're just an incredible jaded person if you genuinely think no high quality stories have been published in recent time. I agree that there might be a person out there who's sitting on a great story and even knows how to translate it to manga, but just cant draw for shit. That's why artists and writers often team up, even if the product isn't always as good as we'd hope. I'd only accept a work assisted by AI if it's been fine-tuned enough to be indistinguishable from something made by a human (which would at the very least require someone with art skills or A LOT of autism and time, and even then it would probably still look like shit.) You're right that what's popular has no bearing on what's good and that normies have shit taste, plus your anti waifufagism is commendable as well. I still refuse to accept people who take the AI shortcut, not because of any bullshit culture war reason, but because I have standards.

>>285072385That banana Is so famous It must really be art, just for the anger it causes you. It lives in your head forever, unlike most paintings.
>>285083997AI "slop" is a result of a fucking data processing math algorithm, it does exactly what it is designed to do. It's not designed to have an actual soul because it's not even a being for crying out loud, it's firmly in accord with intelligent design as a construct of logic. It is simply misused to create entertainment reduced to patterns.
>>285084058You're so cheap, Anon-kun, OHOHOHO!
I always wondered how creators in the far future (a decade, maybe two) would think like considering the rise of AI. Will they ever be involved personally in the creative process or will they simply just outsource all thought to LLMs
>>285073555Yeah, pretty amazing how this can be done efficiently at scale nowadays
>>285084057>then I think you're just an incredible jaded person if you genuinely think no high quality stories have been published in recent timeWell, this depends on your standards.Looking at all the popular and/or highly rated works across different genres getting produced today, I notice a glaring discrepancy in quality between the anime/manga of today and the manga from the 90s/early 2000s.I don't think there's been a really classy, tightness anime like Cowboy Bebop made since... Cowboy Bebop. Certainly nothing from the past 10 years even comes close in terms of uniqueness, composition and richness. Not to say Cowboy Bebop is the greatest thing ever, but I can just tell none of the modern creators could make anything like it.
>>285084087The AI itself has a designer yes, the art it produces does not
>>285084137You're a parody of yourself. CB is not even that good and I would argue that even something like Pluto is better.
>>285073604>"People feel moved by the caption so they have no choice but to like the image"How I loathe, love and pity the human condition.
>>285084161>no argument>"X totally isn't that good! Y is much better than X!"Sorry but I really don't care what a worthless moron like you has to say. You're not a critic, just a dime a dozen pea-brained idiot who can only ever say "this good, that bad" without going into any detail.
>>285083834>Their hair is not even consistentthat's really the only drawback of AI. the inconsistencyonce a consistent AI comes out that can pump out images, the manga industry is cooked
>>285071340>>285071352Would you even know in the future?
>>285073604Baahubali makes ai slop now? How the mighty have fallen.
>>285084188>consistent AINever happen if you understand the nature of these LLMs
>>285084183Are you looking at a mirror and screaming all that to yourself? Wow
>>285084137I agree. If that's the sort of style you're looking for, then it's true anime isn't made at large the same way it was back then, again, because of the shift in technology and the willingness to take risks. As companies, studios and publishers feel they've cracked the code to what will sell (and stats showing what does sell) the things that will get to stay in a magazine, get an anime adaptation etc. will become increasingly dumbed down as there is simply no reason to experiment. It's basic risk vs reward, and on a corporate scale it only results in the things you've complained about, and AI will only make it worse as it removes what remained of the artist from that process.
>>285084245>y-y-youre projectingAnon, try not to punch above your weight division next time.You're clearly an idiot and you know it. That's why the extent of your critique is limited to "this good, that not good".You've lost the argument badly.
>>285084245Are you unfamiliar with wanschizo's discussion style? He's going to hit you with another vapid claim about your intelligence and then continue posting his webms.
>>285084259And you even think you can win just by saying "I win", truly a master! Clearly only someone like you can judge quality and everyone here respects you! lol
>>285078766Looks pretty sloppy-ish. Fact is as much as the best AI can fool people at the moment it can't do consistency for shit. The style half changes every page.
>>285084271Well, that explains the weird constant bump.
>>285084250>and AI will only make it worse as it removes what remained of the artist from that process.Well, I see it as a pathway for non-artists to produce stories in a visual medium that aren't derivative rubbish. Maybe there won't be a large volume, but if there's even one good quality story made by AI that doesn't suffer from visual artifacts or inconsistency, I'd consider AI a success.Also people forget that AI can be used to enhance rather than generate everything from scratch. Would it be totally objectionable to draw the characters, but generate the backgrounds? Or at least generate detail on top of a simplified drawn background?
>>285084289No, I won because you exposed yourself as a retard quite decisively.
>>285071324No, and the people that want it are jealous, lazy, and vindictive.
>>285084292There's an overproduced aspect to it that either the mangaka himself is a darn good series artist from the get-go or its generated slop. Artists of all skill levels love to cheap out here and there hence their creative usage of stylization.
>>285071324No>ebook storelitrpg slopsekai. It's been over 10 years and nobody have been able to replicate SAO's success, and nobody ever will.

>>285084137Cowboy Bebop is an expensive anime original with full vision, why would there be many projects like it?Anime sphere isn't exactly high art sphere, opera or some such.It's pop culture plus, with all implied market money, the people are different, so are the standards. So are the times.
>>285084367Lmao.
>>285084375>why would there be many projects like it?Why shouldn't there be?>Anime sphere isn't exactly high art sphere, opera or some such.I do not care for the term "high art".I just want good stories in my anime/manga.>It's pop culture plus, with all implied market money, the people are different, so are the standards. So are the times.And with the advent of generative technologies, it may well be possible for less artistically trained people to tell high quality stories in visual mediums.Some people will always carry a prejudice. I simply choose to keep an open mind.
>>285084299>"Would it be totally objectionable to draw the characters, but generate the backgrounds? Or at least generate detail on top of a simplified drawn background?"Ideally you want actual hands on the entire thing for the best quality. I realize this isn't realistic to demand and AI will (if it's not already) be used massively for what is considered the laborious parts of drawing manga. I've heard other anons bring up that that this could fuck over assistants since they use their time drawing backgrounds and shit to actually improve as artists for when they themselves get to make a series.As for what a random dude with a killer gpu does in his free time, if he has a cool idea for a story and chooses to make a manga that way then good on him. Better that than another mushbrain clogging rule34 or scamming retarded old people. It probably will just look like shit, without a good excuse for it looking like shit. I'd rather watch somebody actually try to make something themselves if they have an idea than give in to whats most convenient, and I don't want it at all in productions that are supposed to be high quality.
I remember when we used to make fun of beginner artists for not being able to draw hands
>>285084299Also, I think you highly overestimate the amount of people able to "tell a good story". There might be one in several million able to make something with actual vision, but I think at that point AI art will only drag him down and sour the entire work. I understand your opinion is that you don't care how much dogshit there is, as long as there's a chance that even one good work that could rival the greats get produced. I can understand that opinion, but I don't agree, I think the negative effects AI will have on media far outweigh whatever "freshness" it could contribute.
>>285084420>"I don't care about art">"I just want good art"
>>285083719>the usual exaggerated proportionsFucking disgusting.
>>285084420>Why shouldn't there be?nta but, he told you, is expensive and takes a team with a vision.
Posting AI should net you a permaban on /a/.
>>285072296It's basically at the top due to views. People are viewing it to shit on it.
>>285084682The mods would never do that to their beloved sponsors
>>285084682>Posting AI should net you a permaban on /a/.
>>285084700Very fitting, that looks like absolute shit and you definitely deserve a ban for spamming AIslop in random threads.
>>285084698More like the mods don't adhere to the demands of mentally unstable schizos.Not everyone is a psychotic loser who goes berserk at the mere sight of generative content.

>>285084709
>>285084714>at the mere sight of generative content.It goes against the fundamentals of this board.
At this point they should just make a fucking /ai/ board for containment like they did for the ponies.

>>285084753>>285084718You don't seem to possess the self-awareness to realize just how similar you are to ack :3
>>285084738My advice is to stop replying to wanschizo. Eventually he'll get bored and start posting his videos unprompted.
>>285084700It's hilarious how sloppers can't think of anything more creative to animate a girl doing than awkwardly twisting like she has a turd in her butt. I've seen dozens of these videos on /v/. If my intuition is correct, this is Grok slop.
>>285084700This is so fucking uncanny, why are AItards immune to the uncanny valley?

>>285083834>>285084188>>285084217because humans are flawlessly consistent from panel to panel all the time?
>>285084420The problem is that AI tools are still better in the hands of actually skilled people, and generally speaking, generative tools are not as optimal in realizing vision. Painting things by hand is still faster and better than trying to wrench a system into making it do what you want.>less artistically trainedHave you considered that the reason why those people are less trained is because they don't actually want to? Their heart isn't in it. Maybe they shouldn't, maybe they aren't meant to, maybe th ey lack any fantasies, etc.That's perhaps not an issue for you, seeing as you are concerned only with results, but for some artists (not the unskilled ones irrationally threatened by AI, naturally) it is an issue. Using AI as it is now doesn't feel right. It has its place, but total automation isn't the point. Never was.I can talk to you, or to a chatbot. I may even get similar answers. But there's a huge problem there, do you see it? There's also pride. Do bear in mind that workload shifting via more advanced tools and via generative foreign dataset based replication are not the same thing.>in my anime/mangaIt is not YOUR story, careful with self a serving hedonism. I rather doubt you're an aficionado that has watched all the titles there are to pass such assured judgment on quality to warrant your point in earlier posts. I see it, but it's misplaced, seeing as you're you, and artists are artists.>shouldn't there be?My point was that Bebops don't grow on trees. Rareness of a thing is as much of a feature as it is a consequence of skill availability both on total scale and in terms of industry access.But to answer your question directly, why should they? Should all stories be put to ink and animation, just because? Do you think all people most assuredly want to do that too?Whomever wanted to be an artist becomes one regardless, incompetents included.AI now only bolsters a small amount of creatives, the rest is just playing with new, or just gets off.

>>285085037Hence why you should stop replying to him.
>>285076730AI is just the tool, it isn't something which just creates itself out of thin air, a human was behind it with "intent", the same intent that can be behind any other means of expression. A camera has no intent, the photographer does. A instrument has no intent, the musician does. AI has no intent, the author of the manga did.I do find it funny how the argument is shifting from "I don't like AI because it looks bad" to "I don't care if AI looks good, I still don't like it because... uh... SOVL!!!", you can't even create a coherent argument anymore.
>>285084999I'm just laughing my ass off at how shit it looks
>>285085069
>>285085069claiming you're laughing on the internet is a very common coping mechanism for pretending you're not mad
>>285085058Nta. For AI to look good in my opinion there would have to be not a single trace or artifact to show it's generated by AI. If it ever gets to that point (it wont, they expect us to live with all the impurities) I still want know whether it's made or assisted by AI, I want to know the process of the artist or "artist", and I want to know because I actually care about art beyond the final product. Even the most dogshit of series would be interesting to me if I could get some insight into how it was made and what the creator intended with certain parts of it. You lose so much of that when you're willing to give up your own involvement in the creative process. Some genres are inherently slop by nature though, and not everyone wants to create or consume something thats actually meant to be good.
>>285085078hnnnggg
>>285073555this webm makes me laugh every time
>>285085058Incomparable tools. AI is in its own category. These people are concerned by what can be summed up as cybernetization of imagination spreading into all areas, I suppose, but can't put it into words properly. It is a merited fear but for reasons far worse than what those people have considered.

>>285085337Golden billion society taken to extreme. If art happens to come by some providence, and the providence is unwilling to make it, it is to be subordinated to make it by force through increasingly more complex means.End goal is total subjugation of all reality, deliberate or unintended, just like in Half-Life.Just a hypothesis, mind you.
>>285085337NTA but the full intent of AI is to become a genocidal tool for the Rich and Elite to cull the rest of us. They don't aim to create a utopia with this thing they aim to get rid of the people they deem unwanted

>>285081229AI in its present form could never exist without infinite capital injection. there is basically no price discovery with modern AI. the banks created credit ie. fiat out of thin air to suck out all your purchasing power with regards to tech hardware and forcefully reallocated it all to drop AI prices to an all time low. it is impossible to evaluate the cost-benefit of AI under a condition where AI has zero nonexternal costs.
>>285071905AI is much better at logistics and automation, which implies the other two fields. in fact this is how china largely uses the technology, unlike the west where its only job is to trick the 70 iq brain into releasing cum. it's also why they're much more optimistic about AI than the west now is.
>>285071934the anti-piracy culture is not a deliberate philosophy, it's a line of thought they lucked into which subsequently fostered a vibrant creator ecosystem. AI hysteria will bring an end to that, which I personally would not mind
