Dunno, I feel sad about artists a bit. I hope they won't stop creating. I am sick of these flashy AI fakes.

Imagine you are an artist and have a specific style and one day you wake up and the computer program that ripped off your style gets credit for that particular style, as in "4000 midjourney artistic styles". Horrible.

What would happen if a platform focused on a company like Disney, offering images in the style of Frozen / Cinderella / etc? Midjourney can already generate fire Elsa[1] and zombie Elsa[2]. I wonder if this kind of usage ever grows enough to start bothering corporations. [1]: https://prompthero.com/prompt/be1b58e6fef [2]: (nsfw cartoon gore) https://prompthero.com/prompt/00e7433fb1a

If someone generates Elsa wearing Princess Leia’s bikini in Jabba’s palace, do the two Disney IPs cancel each other out? Asking for a friend.

I think you would need to combine Elsa with Princess Peach for the IP to cancel out.

Can anyone share artistic projects that have used generative AI? Where it is used as a tool, and not as a goal.

ie something that’s not:

- Poster/illustration where stock photo would have been used beforehand

- NSFW

- Experiments trying to display model quality (like on /r SD)

The closest I’ve found so far was Rock paper scissors (found from HN) [0], but it’s unclear if it was really less work than usual CGI/animation techniques, and for worse quality.

I’d be particularly interested to know it has been used by (amateurs?) webtoons/comics, and how they have solved the issues related to consistency of style and character.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I guess at the end of the day, they're just fakes like any other fake reproduction. They'll be sold on marketplaces, occasionally a few buyers will be duped. But most are buying the style, not the artist, and wouldn't care. The issue for this site is that they're using the artist names against the reproductions -- that could be argued as intentionally misrepresenting the origin of the works. I imagine, in no short or…

Names are clearly intended to mean “In the style of ____.” No one would see “Van Gogh” on this page and think it’s an original.

A lot of these are very pleasant to look at.. yes, it's easy to spam them so it can get old very fast. But I'm in Midjourney socials and not gonna lie, everyday I see something that stands out and amazes me. Should I feel bad because I'm looking at a flashy AI fake?

Yes.

Well you eliminate a lot of examples with that criteria.

You’re right, I meant porn rather than NSFW.

Last year I used Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to create a ~8x3 in sticker for my pal's motorcycle. I won't share the result here for privacy (and possible copyright/trademark) reasons.

I created the basic design in InkScape, then used SD and several ControlNet adapters to render photorealistic images from the design until one was deemed perfect. My friend loved the result, and since I can only do some sort of glorified programmer art, I wouldn't have been able to deliver a high quality image like that without using SD.
