Shocking truth:

Humans can make all art made by AI.

Humans can make all calculations made by computers.

People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It's the way it always has been. It doesn't mean there's no value attached to it.

Incidentally, for all of the "this is AI" brigade, what are you picking up on? I'm not picking up on any of the classic tells. Aside from the closed fists in the first and last image, where I'd personally go for an open hand, I don't see anything obviously amiss.

The eyes, mostly. The braid thing is weird, too.

Yea, I don't mind AI for personal use stuff like this. But AI in commercial stuff is a big no go.

I agree with this entirely. I personally use AI to help me do things that I don't have the time to do "the old fashioned way".

I can draw, paint, sing, sculpt, etc, and I enjoy doing all these things very much. But I don't have time any more - I have a full-time job, two kids taking up most of my time, and Long COVID means I'm asleep for almost all of what would be left over.

I've used AI to help me bring 2d art, music and 3d models into this world that would otherwise be trapped in my head.

Dude pulling on native american person's braid, mother and daughter look too similar, mom's hand is messed up, SS logos are messed up

There's a wave of AI generated comics hitting lemmy right now. At first i was in the same boat as you, found it difficult to identify

Now after seeing more and more, my brain's detection algorithms are updating.

I'm quite good at seeing obvious AI slop images, but comics was a totallly new thing i had to learn to detect

Ah, thanks for that!

I was genuinely interested because I used to lecture when the GANs first started appearing. Ironically enough, I used to point out to the students how you could tell photos were generated (mismatching ears shapes, asymmetrical glasses, oddly shaped jewellery etc.).

Seems like I need more exposure to the comic art side of things!

If you're interested in seeing how good it's gotten now, some are impressive https://sora.com/explore/images

Hands, faces, eyes, insignias. The usual shit.

Humans can make all art made by AI.

They didn't say "A human could make this", they said "I could make this."

People use tools to achieve their goals more efficiently. It's the way it always has been. It doesn't mean there's no value attached to it.

This counters another argument that wasn't made. Sure, the end product has some value, but also comes with the negatives that some people see as intrinsic in the use of AI.

what are you picking up on?

What ever you do, don't look at the Native American's eyes. 🥴
