I'm just sorta curious what pony enjoyers think of ai artwork here? I have mixed feelings about it. It can make really neat looking images but I love drawing and feel like learning how to draw feels cheapened by it.do mlp fans still enjoy handcrafted artwork made by people or just prefer ai, or both? Specifically for MLP fanart and such
>>42714762slop
>>42714762why should I care about an image nobody cared enough to draw?it's worse than nothing, it's recycled nothing
>>42714768huh yeah i guess>>42714779yeah, it should never be called art but the image generated is interesting. some artists feed their own art into local models to get concepts out faster and draw along side them. I still hate ai that's trained unethically and stole from many artists and I don't want to live in a world where most shows just show slop as a final product but it has it's use cases
>>42714762only AI pictures I tolerate are those fluffy ponies that almost look like 3d renders, I imagine it would be really hard to make them otherwisebut using genai for stuff that is realistically drawable just makes it feel cheap and tacky, makes me sad that people see any value in those images
>>42714828anthro and eqg ai slop is racking insane numbers on facebookthen again half of those likes are bots and the other half have less braincells than bots would have, but still, they work well enough for coom purposes
>>42714828This, I get using it for extra realistic pics. Though good ones are super rare, most of the time they look like uncanny CGI or plushies. The tech isn't there yet.
>>42714846I could never coom to an ai pic, it just feels weirdbut it may be less gay than jerking it to something drawn by a guy now that I think of it
>>42714762I think people generating it are too afraid of errors and noise to make anything interesting. Unleash your imagination and push the limits. Who cares if the eyes end up a bit wonky?Way too much of it is fucking boring. 1 girl, from behind, horse pussy. Yeah, yeah, I've seen it a million times before.Here, have Luna facing a nightmare creature. I know the Princess is a bit off but does that really matter? I could try running it through img2img to fix it but eh, cba for this shitpost bait thread.
>>42714762I like that it's tuning people back into the thomas kincade debate that everybody forgot decades ago.
>>42714931Unless you're cooming to a girl touching herself, everything is gayYou're either seeing a girl and a guy, which is gay, and if you're watching something professionally-made it's usually got guys involved in the process of filming, producing and posting it, so it's gayIf you took all men it would be lesbians, so it's back to gayEither way most AIs are extremely uncanny, so unless they manage to replicate the show's artstyle just right, it doesn't do anything for me either
>>42714779Why should I give a fuck how much blood, sweat and cum went into a drawing that's fucking garbage?
>>42714762It feels stagnant after three years. I feel like I got conned even though I put 0$ on anything AI and never have genned anything. Maybe it's because AIfags exaggerate image AI's progress really hard and since it fails to deliver on the promises, this makes the dissappointment extra hard.
>>42715149Art is a meaning of communication. The artist wanted to portray an idea, and you, as the viewer, get to receive that idea and interpret it as you please Something AI generated has as much soul as those pics drawn by lewd artists who simply copypaste different heads into the same bodies. Sure, you can fap to it if you want, after all they do look pretty. But it does nothing for me. https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2024/4/1/3334795.webm
>>42714762I like it. I use it to generate tons of private coom material that almost no artist would draw. But I agree it's worthless slop and should not be allowed in traditional art communities.And fuck people who use the "realistic" style for ponies.
>>42715298Romanians are truly the same people as jeets.
>>42715307Why? Realistic is good.
>>42714762Generative AI is a bullshit technology designed to solve problems that don't exist and we would all be better off if it was deleted from existence. Art is totally meaningless if it's not created by people and culture will never evolve and grow if people just AI-generate the same images with the same soulless art style over and over until we all get crippling early-onset dementia from never actually using our brains for anything.
>>42715401Automation is a bullshit technology designed to solve problems that don't exist and we would all be better off if it was deleted from existence. Manufacturing is totally meaningless if it's not done by people and culture will never evolve and grow if people just mass produce the same items with the same soulless accuracy over and over until we all get crippling early-onset dementia from never actually using our hands for anything.
>>42715474There's a difference between using automation to make a bunch of identical copies of something (printing, mass-produced goods, etc.) and using automation to replace the creative work of actually designing and inventing new things in the first place. Clothes are mass-produced, but someone still had to design them in the first place. Appliances are mass-produced, but they still had to be invented and developed by actual people first. Printing doesn't mean that books no longer have to be written by people. I'm tired of hearing this same retarded argument that generative AI is no different from any previous technological disruption.Plus, the death of manual labor skills in the general population is, in fact, a bad thing and is going to seriously bite us in the ass some day. There is a greater conversation that needs to be had about which skills should be still be learned by most people even if technology can do if for us, at least for the purposes of safety and being prepared for disasters or other situations where technology is unavailable.
>>42714762My feelings are mixed too. I wish we could skip ahead to the part where the full extent of the damage it causes is revealed, so that we could celebrate the genuine gems that exist because of it with no lingering dread.And even then, local only. Any faggot who succumbs to the mass surveillance industry, for any reason, should kill himself.
>>42715969>it's different this time! why? because it just is ok???Drawing pony porn or product graphics or company logos is not art or culture, deal with it.
>>42715328Such pics are super hot. It's like she actually exists in reality and I can feel her soft coat.
>>42715328what tags do you use to find more of those, literally the only type of ai pics I can stomach
>>42716132HI ANON!EVERYTHING ART IS CULTURE!
>>42714762You should make more ponies in whatever medium you want to. It's just that simple.
>>42716132Porn is art if it's not terrible shit porn (the porn you like) but good porn (the porn I like).
>>42714762pure slop, like this >>42715105
You can tell when someone gave some thought to an AI creation and someone who just made it and was content enough with an initial generation. There's nuance to my thoughts about AI and it's going to be similar to how actual artist show their work.
>>42714762Sometimes it's good, but really IMO AI generation is only good for spamming some moderately decent porn at a decent rate. When it comes to SFW art I'll still usually prefer human artists. AI is gonna end up for porn artists what Photography was for landscape paintings, but art beyond that point will probably keep trucking.
>>42716915In the meantime people in rural areas keep getting dried up wells because AI is literally drying rivers in America.
>>42716955Start building desalination plants.
>>42716955>in AmericaNot my problem. I'll continue to coom to AI chatbots. Thank you for your sacrifice, America.
>>42716955Didn't happen. Twitter talking point.
>>42717015>Didn't happen. Twitter talking point.
Pick up a fucking pencil. It's a pony.
>>42717000>EU want's 6 moar AI factoriesDon't worry dumb goy, the digital parasite golem factory is coming to your country too.
>>42717066I live in Russia, there are no AI factories here. I will continue to leech off you.
>>42717087Of course a snownigger behaves like a nigger
>>42717106I'll share my water with you when the time comes, Anon. We're friends.
>>42717165>LAtAM drained of water for US models>China drained of water for China models>US drained of water for US models>[YOU ARE HERE]>EU drained of water to catch up to US models>The government has allocated significant funds, including 36 billion rubles for soft loans to developers of domestic software and 20.3 billion rubles for AI-related specialized capacities, further stimulating investment>The Russian data center market is experiencing significant growth, driven by the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), with the data center rack market projected to grow from USD 253.53 million in 2025 to USD 505.36 million by 2030You dumb faggot, you only fed the beast.
>>42714768>slopsecondedAI image generators are only good for weird porn and overly-elaborate shitposts.
>>42716136They would be really creepy in real life with those giant eyes
its dogshit, and I only use it for coom (and sometimes comfort)
