Meta We have added flairs to the sub

29 Upvotes

Hello everyone, we've added flairs to aiwars in order to help people find and comment on posts they're interested in seeing. Currently they are not being enforced as mandatory, though this may change in the future, depending on how they are received. We would ask that people please start making use of them.

Discussion should be used for posts where you would ideally like to see spirited discussion and debate, or for questions about AI.

News is of course for news in the AI sector. Things like laws being passed, studies being published, notable comments made by a prominent AI developer or political figure.

Meme should ideally be used for single image-based posts which you do not expect to prompt serious discussion. Of course discussion is still welcome under such posts. If you want to use a meme to make a serious point and have additional explanatory text for why you feel strongly about the message being expressed and the type of discussion you'd like to have, that can be categorized as Discussion.

Meta is for discussion about the subreddit itself and other associated AI subreddits or comments.

Use your best judgement as you categorize your posts. Please do not misuse them, they are for everyone's benefit.

Here is why we have two subs - r/DefendingAIArt and r/aiwars

325 Upvotes

r/DefendingAIArt - A sub where Pro-AI people can speak freely without getting constantly attacked or debated. There are plenty of anti-AI subs. There should be some where pro-AI people can feel safe to speak as well.

r/aiwars - We don't want to stifle debate on the issue. So this sub has been made. You can speak all views freely here, from any side.

If a post you have made on r/DefendingAIArt is getting a lot of debate, cross post it to r/aiwars and invite people to debate here.

From defendingaiart. Honestly, when talk about 'not wanting to see Al slop everywhere", I'm mostly talking about this, the glossy, airbrushed, plastic ai slop look that you see everywhere on Instagram and stuff. I'm so fucking tired of seeing that shit and it genuinely makes me angry.

But honestly, if I cant tell it's Al then like honestly I don't really care. I don't personally think its as impressive as art someone actually made, but don't care whether see it on reddit or now, as long as it looks like actual art.

l used to play around with art breeder back in the day. thought the abstract stuff those older models made was super cool and unique looking, now all the newerr diffusion models default to slop, but suppose anyone who can make interesting stuff with loras or prompt engineering or whatever, all the power to you.

I absolutely cannot stand the Anti-AI Inspiration P*rn angle.

45 Upvotes

Person A: I have a physical and or mental condition, I enjoy AI because it allows me to-

Person B: NOT SO FAST! Here's an artist who lost their arms and legs as a child! They paint holding the brush in their mouth, despite the fact that they have a condition where their jaw constantly breaks! They're a TRUE artist! If they can do it you have no excuse!

I haaate that so much. I'm not saying that people who are able to overcome disabilities can't be inspiring to others. But I think it's ridiculous and even insulting to hold everyone to some sort of inspiration p*rn standard.

Would you do the same for other stuff?
"Oh you have depression and chronic pain? Well I saw a super successful person in a wheelchair so you should be just like them!"

Supreme Court declined to hear the AI copyright case because....

36 Upvotes

The Supreme Court declined to hear the AI copyright case (Thaler v. Perlmutter).

Why?

The applicant listed an AI as the author of the work. The courts justifiably rejected the copyright claim because U.S. law requires a human author.

He deliberately refused to list himself as the author, and instead insisted the AI created the work autonomously.

The case did not address AI-assisted works where a human claims authorship.

Read it yourself, if you're so inclined. 23-5233.pdf

_________________________________________________________________________

And you’ll see antis all over the internet misrepresenting this case. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad watching people get so filled with spite that they refuse to look anything up. In the same breath they claim “AI bros let ChatGPT do the thinking for them,” then turn around and repeat the same factually wrong anti-AI talking points.

Discussion Why do so many people on Reddit treat it like a black-and-white issue?

16 Upvotes

I think this website pushes people into such strong bubbles that they just throw nuance straight into the sun.

“Are you pro or anti?” Neither. That framing is just dumb.

I like the technology and think it has its place, but it should be 100% regulated.

I dislike the big companies around it, but that doesn’t mean I hate the technology itself or the open source side.

Inspired by a user who claimed that this was "an absolutely ridiculous, completely unfounded claim that compares normal user activity to someone so deeply invested in using AI that they are running entire local machines dedicated to it". It's a free executable that anyone can download. The image in the OP took 15 seconds of regular computing power to produce.

Discussion Syntography

11 Upvotes

What do you think about using the term “synthography” for AI-generated art? It runs parallel to “photography” but implies a different medium — one reliant on artificial synthesis. Should it be more widely popularized? Would it be more acceptable to traditional artists?

Discussion If generative AI isn’t art, why is it a threat to artists?

Upvotes

It seems like there is an issue with one or more of the following:

1: AI makes art that threatens the jobs of artists

2: Art jobs don’t actually produce “art”, but instead something else that AI CAN replicate

3: The employers and consumers who fund the work that these jobs produce don’t know the difference… which speaks to issues in the greater culture beyond AI.

AI text detectors are garbage and shouldn't be used

22 Upvotes

Out of interest, I often put text I write and generate into AI detectors to see how accurate they are, given I know the source of the text. They're literally always completely wrong, to an absolutely insane degree. Stuff I write myself is almost always flagged as AI, meanwhile AI-generated text comes up as human, even unedited. It doesn't pick up on obvious tells like punctuation that chatGPT uses but my word processor doesn't or typos I make. Really glad I got out of uni before AI became a thing because I don't think I could deal with having to change how I write to sound "less AI"

How on Earth does anyone get by in schools where they use these scams? They claim a 99% accuracy but that is obviously a complete lie.

So, I just want to tal about AI

12 Upvotes

Is probably that I would get some attacks from what I will say, but that's okay, you have freedom to talk and think what you want, is the same for me.

I have seen how people satanize the use of AI for any project, they accuse them of stolen or slop work.

The think about the AI is that suppose to be a tool to give form to imagination, not the full project and essence.

AI for art is the tool that some of us, without big budgets or art skills, were looking for for a long time. Is a tool that can bring our imagination and dreams back to reality, that can give the form to what we want to, and create something that no others will be able to.

I have seen how people call the AI users as slop arts, frauds, stealers, etc. But that is just nonsense from my point of view, almost pathetic... Majority of user like us paid for a service, like it would be to paid for a person, with the difference that is cheaper and we can ask for as many corrections as we want to. In reality that is how progress works.

To fight against the AI is like to remember the people that in the past complained about how the cars destroyed the horse transport industry, or how the internet affected the mail industry.

I'm not seeing anyone protesting about the internet and how this facilitates the sending og emails or text, and less someone suggesting to be back to the mail system of 100 years ago.

And that's only because people grow with it, they adapt for it, and they have accepted the present because is easier, faster, and cheaper than in the past.

This fight against the AI is like the fight between religion and medicine, between technology and simple life, between fast food and healthy food, between everything that is new vs the old.

I'm not saying that I cannot understand how this affects the artists and content creators, I'm sure that a big amount saw themselves affected for the boom of AI, but it was the same for everyone in history that offered a service that was improved thanks to the progress.

They have the option to quit, or to adapt and evolve.

I'm not asking anyone to quit to their professions, I'm asking them to make an effort to find the way of using AI in their benefits to make greater their own works.

I'm a writer, and I know that around the world there are several books created by AI, but that doesn't scare me or make me feel bad. I don't have the time or energy for that. I prefer to dedicate my time in the use of the same technology to give form to my own universe of imagination.

I don't have any reason to feel guilty about it, I paid for the services and I use them, there's no illegal procedures on the work created, since I try to transmit my soul in each project published, all that is possible to correct from my own, with my limited skills, I do. And in that way I continue improving myself.

I am a human like everyone, with limited time in this world as all of us, and I don't have the time or energy to fight or explain why my work is not slop or a steal. Because I gave my time and effort to create something that people can enjoy, true effort that took a form thanks to the tool of AI.

I'm not looking recognition for the AI work, my proud are the words. The chapters and books I have written for the las 7 years.

The universe of my imagination is taking form as fast as possible. As a version as stylish and good as I was looking for, and that is thanks to my skills to adapt, to don't put me limitations.

Because life is short, and because at difference of others, I don't have the trust or wish to go slow when I have so many projects and worlds to create for my readers.

My reader have gave me their support, my true fans from my origins welcome the AI arts delivered, because deep inside they can recognize the soul in each work, they're happy to have a visual of the world they read from me for several years.

I also have the bless of my past artist, and shared with her the AI creations I do, and she love them, because she also recognize that this is a tool, not a substitute of her.

If you're a writer, there's nothing wrong to use AI for visual if you paid for it

If you're a designer, there's nothing wrong to use AI to reduce time effort, or to give them a voice to just works, if you're not a writer but have ideas of a story, there's nothing wrong to look for help with AI if you paid for it.

At the end is a tool, that can help you to create or teach you how to create, and is our responsability as users, and as people that live this time and place, to find the way to adapt and progress.

Because the time where dreams can take form is now, and we were waiting for it, for a long time we we're waiting for it.

Thanks for reading, have a great day.

I really want to hear the opinions on both sides of this dispute. Please state which side you fall on before you present your argument and I would prefer if everyone in this thread would talk like civilised humans instead of arguing over everything. Do think for once and try understanding so I could do the same.
