Totally hear your concerns! There's this article "I Went Viral in the Bad Way" from a write from The Atlantic - https://newsletters.theatlantic.com/galaxy-brain/62fc502abcb... . He got criticized so hard for using an AI-generated in his newsletter instead of paying an artist to do the work. People's concerns are valid and real. Yet, we can also imagine a future that "lower-level" artistic work can be achieved by AI,…

I'm having a hard time seeing how increasingly better and freely available AI artwork doesn't just completely replace artists (and more generally how increasing AI capabilities don't just replace any career that does not involve some degree of skil…

I agree that AI engines like DALL-E seem like a threat to many commercial artists, especially those whose name and personality are not closely associated with their works. Magazine illustrators are one example.

For some artists, though, the artist’s status as a human being with a unique identity is a big part of their appeal. That’s one reason why there’s such a huge price difference between, say, a painting believed to be by Van Gogh and a high-quality painting in Van Gogh’s style that is believed to be a forgery.

My daughter is a successful commercial artist, and I have been following the AI advances partly out of concern for her future. As it happens, she has been able to associate her name and personal identity even with her commercial works, and she is skilled at working closely with her clients to produce the kinds of illustrations they want. For the time being, at least, her business seems safe. I wouldn’t want to make a prediction about the long term, though.

How does one get their images and prompts indexed?

You can log in and publish a post, then it will show up in the Community tab :) Give it a try! In the future it will also be seen under the Discovery tab and be searchable.

I don't think your comment applies to lexica.art

I’ve used both DALL-E and stable diffusion extensively, and in my experience DALL-E is more forgiving while stable diffusion is more powerful — with a much higher skill ceiling for writing prompts. Also, stable diffusion’s open source weights are great for self-hosting which can’t be done with DALL-E.

A great summary. I do feel different prompt engines require quite different prompts to get good results. We will add stable diffusion and midjourney on openart.ai very soon too :)

I read the GP as asking for an upvote feature on the site, rather than asking for upvotes here on HN.

If this let me search for "spaceship", "castle", "map", or "dungeon" then I would have been extremely happy. As an aside, has anyone seen any AI generated boardgame boards?

prompt: "spaceship castle map dungeon extremely happy"
