AI artwork

Once upon a time, the field of lazy illustration "artwork" was just something done by real human beans, mostly on Tumblr, DeviantART and other awful semi-containment sites. In mid-2022, after IRL Skynet sentience came about by the means of Artificial Intelligence and it's Machine Learning, programs such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and several others went viral online for being able to generate on-demand shitty "artwork". This is a problematic challenge for "career artists", and the entire field of artwork creation is currently (and maybe rightfully so) terrified.

Various AI Artwork Sites and programs

• Midjourney is an AI algorithm that is able to create bad art from text-description prompts.
• Stable Diffusion - created by the team at Stability AI it can do the same thing as Midjourney but also can use base images as prompts. Mostly just used for anime rule 34.
• DALL-E 2 is another text-to-generation AI model that is often used. DALL-E is created by the nerds on the OpenAI team.

• Craiyon (formerly DALL-E Mini) - another text-to-image algorithm. Out of all the sites listed here, this is probably the most well-known; most likely because it doesn't require an account.
• NovelAI Diffusion - Some greedy generator, also used for animu shit. See more
• PornPen - AI image generator for coomers.

The three types of AI art

AI-created Rule 34

It goes without saying that if you give the interwebs' netizens DENIZENS any kind of web-generator app, that it eventually will be used maliciously, in this case it didn't take long for the web to start abusing the programs to create Eros-type art. Even MOAR info is avalaible on KYM, gasp: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/hentai-diffusion
