AI artwork

Once upon a time, the field of lazy illustrated artwork was achieved solely by real human beans on material, and by the early 21st century, mostly on Tumblr, DeviantART and other obscenely caged platforms, all requiring extreme aspie capacity. But this changed in mid-2022, after suitable development of Skynet sentience came about by the means of Artificial Intelligence and it's machine learning, with programs such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and various others going viral online for being able to generate on demand shitty distorted "artwork", all with a couple of presses on a keyboard.

This is a problematic challenge for "career artists", and the entire scene of artwork creation is currently (and maybe rightfully so) shitting their pants. With that said, and being the unparalleled pinnacle of truths that is Encyclopedia Dramatica, the following should be noted before proceeding: art does not exist.

The Future is Now!

What was unimaginable just 10 years ago is now a saucy and existential reality – artificial intelligence is creating "art" and a number of them don't suck complete ass. Naturally this fact has had several lulzy effects which will only continue to transcend as our robot overlords continue to evolve and improve, and remove all unwanted labor from humanity.

The most obvious one was the brick-shitting done by artists once they realized that major corps AND ordinary users had the means at their disposal to dispose of them. This was especially traumatic for pr0n artists who could make quite a nice living by catering to degenerate coomers thirsty for that sweet sweet porn, but not anymore! Now every retard will be able to punch a few buttons on their keyboard and get all the smut they ever wanted with endless varieties = endless cum = ?? = endless profit. "Clean" artists are not much better off either as all those corporations/jews who used to pay for them decorating their ads/homes/objects can now just use an AI to whip something up in a few minutes knowing that the public will eat it up regardless of where it came from.

Furthermore, there are now projects underway to make AI that can write and compose music. with "animation AI" also being slated for the near future, so if you are an artist, YOU ARE FUCKED! (Unless you are a big music corp in which case even the fucking AI will back off from your army of lawyers and small corporate assassins, good for you.) To add insult to injury, the said AIs' are being fed tens of thousands of images crawled from various places online, chances are that if you're an artist who posts online your own artwork was or will be used to train your replacement, ain't that a doozy?

Another effect which is even more lulzworthy due to the nature of AI likely causing such a glut of art and content that it may fuck over our digital civilization for decades, and here's how! Imagine if you one day decided to get off of your fat ass and tried to draw something, or compose a piece of music, or write as shittyless fanfic as you aspergerd brain could allow you to. Well too bad since unless you made it for your own sake or to share with your family and IRL friends (this is a theoretical scenario so you can at least pretend that you do), you will find that hardly anyone can even see it since every social media site or online art gallery like DeviantArt or Furaffinity are now drowned with content that is only increasing by the second.

Seeing this loltastic development, certain parties have taken steps to try and stem the tide of digital pee-AI-siss that are readying to ram themselves into their proverbial asses. The aforementioned sites and others included instituted a ban on any AI artwork with acid baths and castration for machine-lovers who bird copyrights. Others have been bellowing for tighter control of what and where the AIs take as "inspiration" but since that's going against big corps and from a bunch of mere artists, don't expect that to have much effect.

Lastly, a particular strain of retard has emerged called "AI whisperer" who think that they will be able to make a living via telling present and future AIs what to draw using specialized strings of words (prompts), but what they don't realize is that either someone will find a good string on their own, or they will train the AIs to produce artwork well enough to only require little or no input beyond pushing a button.

So in cumclusion, if you are a coomer, rejoice all the porn you ever wanted, at the cost of the entire human creative endeavor, and if you are an artist, there's really only one thing you can do now: Butlerian Jihad! Run before they can create humanity.

Various AI Artwork Sites and programs

Midjourney - an AI algorithm that is able to create bad art from text-description prompts.
Stable Diffusion - created by the team at Stability AI, and it can do the same thing as Midjourney but also can use base images as prompts. Mostly just used for anime rule 34. And weird ass art of celebrities that many want to fap over or kill themselves
DALL-E 2 - 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, and the pictures it generated are cursed as hell.
NovelAI Diffusion - Some greedy generator, also used for animu shit. See more
PornPen - AI image generator for coomers.
DreamUp - DeviantShart's own AI image generator since November 2022. unsuprisingly, this only screwing up the site even more, and even majority of the tarlets hate it, mainly because the fact that AI "artwork" isn't art, and it can lead to more Art theft that is rampant on the site.
Mage Space If you ever want to face your nightmare, now is the time, wanna see yoda as a trap or weird ass porn that you can't unsee, then here's your answer. It's cluster of ugly looking things you can't unsee.
This X Does Not Exist series, in particular This Anime Doesn't Exist and This Waifu Doesn't Exist.

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 available on KYM, gasp: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/cultures/hentai-diffusion
