I feel for jp artists because many of the ones I've talked to are genuinely decent human beings. I feel nothing for western artists, they are some on the most insufferable faggots on the planet and are solely responsible for the general apathy towards their own cause.

>>108373798
It's been years now since this tech dropped, and its adoption has already plateaued, and artists are still not out of business. In fact, people hate AI art more than ever, and show an extreme repulse to any product that incorporates it
Artists will be fine, and that's fine by me, art has always been fundamental to this site and the internet as a whole, it is the nucleus of memes, and if people in this site is adamantly refusing to adopt AI, no one will.

They don't experience anywhere near the same amount of physical exertion and stress as people working at an assembly line. The only hard part for artists is the training.

Where is the "hard work" coming from artists? Skills isn't the same as stress or endurance. Having high IQ or high skill doesn't mean you work harder. Why do those attributes make you deserve more empathy?
>>
>>108373980
>Lol its a brainless job thats why they give them to spics.

Art is a brainless job too since it can easily be done by AI.

>With art you need to keep on improving and sharpen your mind

Most modern art is trash. If artists are actually improving their skills, they wouldn't feel threatened by AI. They're threatened because their skills are shit.

Your elitism won't earn you any empathy. You can have high IQ and skills but that becomes irrelevant when it can easily be automated with technology.

does anybody actually have any statistics regarding the effect of ai on commission income?
it doesn't seem to me like the people who would pay someone for art would also be the kind to use ai. though i suppose i could see someone paying for ai art commissions, is that what they're mad about?

>>108374917
you'd be silly not to, using ai like that is like having a more advance form of templates. let it do the repetitive stuff so you can just handle the fun parts
>>
>>108374868
You're still avoiding the point, you don't need to have access to statistics in order to have an opinion on gen AI images. If there was no effect at all or, lets presume, a increase in commissions due to people wanting to support human artists, that does not mean those same artists would be pro AI; they'll still be mad about AI because its an existential threat to their art if not a material threat. The record labels jumped on Napster and torrents not because they affected their bottom line, the statistics on downloads in 2000 made no difference to the $33.7 billion the record companies made that year. They sued the hell out of Napster because downloading music on the internet was an existential threat to an industry based entirely on physical media. Today, where the fuck are the record labels based on physical media?
>>
>>108374930
you can certainly have an opinion on it either way, but claiming that it's killing human art needs be backed up by data showing that it's killing human art, otherwise it's just speculation
>>
>>108374958
It is entirely speculation, everything from datacenter demand forecasts to projected job losses (Define "unemployment". There are six, U-1 to U-6, codes of classification in the US). No one, especially these artists, can say anything with complete certainty. Only anecdotes, like the amount of AI generated submissions on deviantart and rule34 booru.

The irony of these past 4 years of "I HATE ARTISTS AND WANT THEM TO DIE" threads made across multiple boards by the same dozen or so people is that art is as strong as ever and it's entry-level programmers that have a questionable future.
>>
>>108375178
DESU AI doesn't seem to be effecting either as much as everyone says.

Artists are just being gay and dramatic as they always have.

Programmers are:
1) Government was subsidizing them with the R&D labor capitalization trick that expired under Biden
2) Having to fight Indian nepotism while being nepotistic ourselves is illegal.
3) Dealing with management *finally* realizing that hiring more people slows down development.

Normally in a job right now, when you get hired, you know nothing about the company or how it's run. In order to learn that, you need to convince other humans present at the job to take time out of their day to tell you how things work.
Assuming things keep progressing the way they are right now, the total number of humans employed at the workspace will be far lower as the jobs get replaced by AI agents and one of the things that the AI agents are absolutely best at is being asked questions and responding, they are incredible search engines.
This will allow highly intelligent juniors with good self-learning skills to jump onboard, ask the company AI any and all questions they want until they are up to speed.
Imagine how quickly you could have gone from junior to senior at your current role if you had 24/7 access to a mentor.

It's breaking trust in artistic works though - It's becoming impossible to tell what is AI generated and what is real art.

My guess is the future of art lies in people only sharing stuff with those whom they trust IRL, whilst the internet progresses further into being a backwater of slop. Live IRL jam sessions aren't going anywhere, but sharing your music/drawings/whatever and engaging with other people's work online is over for two reasons:

- Slop is much easier to generate, so the amount of it will squeeze real art to a very small percentage of total content online. What is left will be "shrodinger's slop" - impossible to know if it's real or AI (most likely AI).
- Many if not most people believe in the value of human-made art, so will simply leave, or only engage with content released before a specific date.

A lot of artists are in denial about this stuff, many are at the anger stage, I'm sure some are in the depression stage. It's important to not give up, stay rational, and see what's in our interest long-term. Rationality is humans' means of survival, unlike animals which act based on impulse.

We must acknowledge that the concept of publicly sharing and enjoying art is finished, and not bury our heads six feet in the sand. We have a few more years at least, but there is only one direction AI can go. Let's enjoy the time we still have together before that good night comes, and we all log off.

People affected by AI can take solace in the fact that the clankers will come for everyone eventually, they're just the first ones in the way.

1. Some artist jobs are being replaced

AI image generators like Midjourney, DALL·E, and Stable Diffusion can produce illustrations in seconds.

Because of this, companies sometimes replace:

simple stock illustrations

concept sketches

marketing graphics

background art

social media visuals

These were often entry-level or low-budget jobs for artists. Some freelancers report losing clients who switched to AI tools.

2. Many artists are now using AI instead

Instead of replacing artists entirely, AI often becomes a tool in their workflow:

generating rough concepts

exploring ideas quickly

creating references

speeding up repetitive work

For example, concept artists may generate dozens of AI drafts and then paint the final version themselves.

3. New types of creative jobs appeared

AI also created new roles, such as:

AI art director

prompt designer

AI workflow artist

model trainer / dataset curator

These jobs didn’t exist a few years ago.

4. High-skill artists are less affected

Areas that still rely heavily on human artists include:

original character design

art direction

storytelling

animation and game art pipelines

fine art

Studios usually still need human artists to maintain consistent style and creative vision.

5. The biggest change is economic

The main impact isn’t that artists disappear — it’s that:

the market price for simple art drops

speed expectations increase

clients expect more work for less money

This happened before with photography, digital painting, and 3D tools.

Short answer:
AI does take some jobs, especially repetitive or low-budget ones, but it mostly changes how artists work rather than eliminating artists completely.
>>

>>108377518
This time is different. The previous technological advancements were either physical (cameras) or deterministic (photoshop). Now we have these AIs that can virtually "come up" with ideas - Truly unprecedented.
>>
Corporate art is primarily soulless, you may be lucky and hire an artist who wants to pour their passion into doing a piece they otherwise wouldn't give a shit about the subject matter on, but the majority of the time it will be the Google-like "safe" looking aesthetic that someone else decided on not because it will advance a medium or challenge the viewer as art should, but because it would drive profits, according to consultation and research think tanks' opinions.
Art commodified killed soul before any of us were born. I think Ai is fun to use and I enjoy drawing and improving there as well. Genuinely I think AI is helping humans focus on their own passion projects as they take the workload off what the company wants for their graphic design, the irony is that it also ate up all the art jobs with it. No, I don't approve what companies are doing to drive profits over being good influences in society, but I say that every day of the week, like how Meta and other tech companies are the ones lobbying and pushing these age certification laws just so they don't have to he the ones to pay or comply with additional legislation interfering with them sitting on children's data as they would for adults.

A lot of artists are heavily overpricing themselves as of the last couple of years.
20 fucking dilla for a sketch?
$100 for a rendered image?
At that point i'd rather buy a drawing tablet and scribble shit MYSELF
>>
Don't worry, AI will put us in human zoos with no access to computers.
>>
>>108384019
not that i really know much about the subject considering i don't draw and i've never submitted a commission either, but drawing as i understand it is a slow process, even once you introduce things like computers and do things with a fully digital workflow, which certainly speeds things up, it's still not that fast. it's like, if you want someone to spend several hours drawing something, they'll probably want more than minimum wage for those hours, so they can't really ever be particularly cheap, at least if drawing is their main source of income
>>
>>108384069
When it comes to digital artistry, modern tools and programs provide so many utilities that simplify a lot of work for the arist. Want to emulate a specific texture? Select X brush and it's pretty much perfect. Shading? Just a couple of buttons my man.
I have no qualms about popular/established artists giving themselves premium pricing, but when nonames who mostly do flat colors or only simple poses/portraits with single color background do that, it starts being a problem.
>>
>>108384112
like i said i don't know enough to go pointing fingers like "they're getting greedy" or something, just enough to know that a nicely drawn picture is never going to cost $5 unless perhaps they're in an ultra-poor country where that's a meaningful amount of money for a couple hours work at least
>>
>>108373798
yes, lack of money makes them desperate which is where I come in and thrive.
yes m'lady, I DO have a stable job at mcdonalds and an automobile for transportation and can afford the gasoline and insurance for it. would you care to enter into a symbiotic relationship?
>>
>>108384145
I'm talking about images that would take around 1-2 hours of attention to draw
$15-25 dollars are a fair price for these
>>
>>108384112
>>108384145
oh one thing i do recognise is that time isn't the only factor, especially before ai stuff if you wanted a picture to be made you either had to draw it yourself or pay someone to do it. the exclusivity allows them to charge more since it's like well tough shit, the picture just won't be made unless you pay up
having a cheaper alternative really dilutes this, even if ai stuff is not a perfect replacement for everyone, it's a replacement for some things, and unfortunately for artists, a big one is porn

i make robot girls from photographs and screenshots of things that are not humanoid at all such as cars and aircraft. i take these photographs myself with a camera, so it's art. i load my photography into controlnets and write a novel of a prompt to get something even as basic as this.
while i recognize there are several human artists capable of great work in this realm they are non-commission or out of the biz thus localgen ai is the only way to translate what i want into a piece. the real problem comes with consistency. i can't make the same robot girl twice which is frustrating when you get a decent character who you want to see more of.
>>
>>108376716
AI can't do creative work, just like AI can't engineer good solutions. It only replaces completely uncreative, unintelligent people. An artist that is actually praised for his creativity will continue to be praised no matter if an AI can draw some furry slop of copyrighted characters or not. Same goes for engineers creating real systems vs AI that can produce insecure webdev slop.

I think it's just short for Lolita which is probably a real thing
>>
>>108385661
loli is short for lolita, which is borrowed from a '50s book of the same name, which is about a man who is infatuated with a 12yo girl. these days the word basically means "a sexually-provocative underaged girl", pretty much identical to terms like "jailbait" which was common a while ago but i don't see much today
>>
>>108385661
>>108385734
-- it's also related to lolicon, which is popular in japan and is short for "lolita complex" (don't worry than "com" shouldn't turn into "con", this has gone through japanese and back), which is basically their slang term for pedophile
>>
>>108384019
Artists have always underpriced themselves, sans furries who prey on the ocfag community. You won't do anything for your own art, because you will quit long before you get anywhere learning it.
>>
>>108384019
>>108387048
it makes me wonder; has anyone here actually paid someone to draw something for them?
like how common even is that? i have some fetish-related interests and even in the past (i.e. before ai) have thought of things i've wanted to see but had no means of creating it, maybe if i were richer and had no sense of shame i might have commissioned someone to make something, but idk, ai or human you still need to think of something you want to see, which i was quickly reminded of playing with ai for the first time a couple years ago. like it was fun to play with technology-wise, but not being a creative person myself soon found i didn't really have much to use it for

It depends on who you liked, I personally have commissioned stuff from the artists I followed (mainly japs) once in a while. Its not as common, because most commoners didnt have the mental capacity to understand arts in the first place. Certain artists (depending on niche) actually have frequent rich patrons. I actually met some of them at comiket as well.
