I find the test of “show me AI art that isn’t a rehash” to be a bit pernicious because I have a hard time coming up with any recent examples of non-AI art that I could lie about an…

I was a content moderator for Midjourney for many years. I’ve seen more AI-generated debauchery than I could ever hope to convey. I also saw 100,000x more joy, creativity, beauty a…

Web devs gonna focus on web dev things. But, I’m more interested in the works of artists like https://www.rooperainisto.com/ and https://andreaciulu.com/ who embraced the glitchy a…

As a clanker-apologist I gotta say this is the strawman of AI slop brought to life. Letting the machine do literally everything without even supervision and see how it turns out? N…

Midjourney is not actually an AI imagery company. It's a research lab that happened to do AI images first. I talked more about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4858829…

I know the founder through a lot of light discussion. If lots of for-profit alternatives become serious competition, he'd rather move on to something else than take on VC money. Hi…

Not on the VC path. Not even on the max-profit path. Just on the "Have fun doing cool research" path. I was a mod on MJ for its first few years and got to know MJ's founder through…

Having spent a lot of time talking to engineers working on AI tools, I find the idea that AI is intended to replace creativity comes entirely from internet comment sections and not…

Having used lots of different image generators, so far the only one with a sense of humor has been Dall-e3. https://www.reddit.com/r/dalle2/s/khb5XuNFdl There’s probably some sort …

SD has a very primitive conceptual model. Basically “bag of words nudging pixels around for a while”. Words near each other influence each other. But, there’s nearly no understandi…

Right now there is a ton of stigma around AI art. That stigma fuels a ton of poorly-informed rhetoric against it. There is also tons and tons of casual use of AI art being shitpost…

The examples given aren't trying to be artistic. They're demonstrating technical capabilities as simply as possible.

Try it sometime. Don't just type one prompt and declare the job done. Try to make something that invokes a reaction in yourself. AI makes it easy to generate ten thousand random im…

Well, yeah. If you explicitly try to come up with a cute, gimmicky idea, it's not going to be serious. Taste still matters regardless of paint, cameras or computers.

There's already conversation in AI art about how "Y'all will miss all these weird AI glitches when they're gone!" It will become the new tape hiss. Something people will nostalgica…

> Did people complain when digital paintings became a thing? Yes. A lot. All the same complaints. "It's low-effort cheating. The machine does all the work. It's soulless. Art requi…
