That's not what I am talking about. I apologize if I was unclear.
What I am talking about is already happening to some degree and will only get more responsive.
You enter a prompt and it spits out a few samples. You ick one but then tell it to change this, or that. The process continues until you get the image you want.
At some point that turns you into the artist, as surely as a director who relies on a cinematographer is an artist.
Just the prompt or does that include inpainting,upscaling,img2img,refiner?
If we're saying that x amount of time makes you an artist.. how long does it take to tape a banana to a wall?I dont count me using the sharpening tool as me becoming an artist either.
Frank Frazetta, is an artist. Scribe of Enworld, is not.
The guy who won his state fair's using AI art took 80 hours to make the final product.
Is a photographer an artist? What about the aforementioned director?No, typing words into a text box and a program spitting out an image does not make you an artist. No amount of twisting or redefining the words involved will make you an artist for using “AI”.
Is a photographer an artist? What about the aforementioned director?
I would gently suggest that you are. At least in the sense that bringing imagination to something real is all art is.I dont care. Did he do so by having a program create 'his' entry? I'm not chasing goal posts here. You can disagree, it doesnt impact me.
Even if the program creates art I would GLADLY have paid Wizards of the Coast to include in their books, that isnt making me an artist.
It just means that the generic tropes of Western media, are able to be generated at a level I deem better than what Wizards has sold in their official works.
I'm still not an artist.
Just as someone getting code generated by the code generation engines, is not a programmer.
He started with an AI generator, then use photoshop, which i think would be considered digital art.I dont care. Did he do so by having a program create 'his' entry? I'm not chasing goal posts here. You can disagree, it doesnt impact me.
