I am genuinely trying to get better at art. I’m not there yet (likely never will be), the lying machine is still better than me.
The context:
This is my sketch.
And this is what the ai output.
I like to think I poured my heart and soul into it. I know there are people who will tell me that I’m terrible for using ai at all. I’m also sorry if this is the wrong community to ask this question (ask reddit would delete my post instantly if I tried to post there).
Again, is this slop? I am not an artist. I drive a forklift real good, that’s my skillset. So if I were to use the ai upscaled version for my book, well, I’m asking for opinions.
I would, at minimum, disclose the use of exactly what AI did for you if you were to sell your art.
I would also assume that anything you put into an AI model is now being absorbed by that model, so now your art is copied and available for the AI to replicate. That’s something most artists aren’t OK with.
I just assume that everything I’ve ever done is already in the ai anyway. Chatgpt could probably summarize my book and I haven’t even wrote it yet (it’s very good at turning my drunk ramblings into coherent notes for me to review when sober. Drunk me also has no willpower to resist easy dopamine.)
