How can I use this? For example: if I have a picture of my wife, how can I apply one of these styles to her picture? I've downloaded InvokeAI and it runs, but I can't get it to just apply a style to an existing picture. I wanted to give her a birthday present and her picture using the style of her favorite artist in a frame would be amazing.

https://www.bcad.one/project/7 we produced a connection card game in a couple of months end-to-end using AI. text is a true mixture of our ideas and GPT's 'ideas'. we gave GPT the vibe we wanted, let it generate tons of new stuff, then we heavily curated and remixed it. art is created and curated by various AI tools. it does not rely on any particular artist's style. we bootstrapped the game using our own money, and…
Your EI card game looks intriguing! Can you share an estimated ship date?

Last I heard, everyone was struggling to fine tune SDXL on furry art too. The only community fine tunes that seem to have succeeded are ones aimed at taking things it was already designed to generate and trained on and making it actually good at those, or improving the aesthetics of its output.
That's mildly surprising, given how large and well tagged e621 in particular is. Though I assume most of the major furry art hosts are blocking scraping by this point, given how divisive GenAI is?

See it’s weird since I would consider this a form of immortalization. Some artists are seeing this way, but very few. It seems crazy to me more artists aren’t being amazed that their entire style is now “canon”
Being immortalized doesn't suddenly mean you stop paying bills

Our vision of the future used to be one where every unpleasant job is automated, and humans are free to pursue higher callings such as art. It's increasingly looking we'll all be working in construction, scrubbing floors, or performing maintenance on the machines that took our pleasant jobs. The saving grace is it'll probably be just 10 hour work-weeks.
I don't see how generative AI changes the situation. Most people would always face an uphill battle, producing mediocre art which only a few (likely with some personal connection) would appreciate.
You're viewing art as a commodity in a capitalist society.
Dunno, I feel sad about artists a bit. I hope they won't stop creating. I am sick of these flashy AI fakes.
I think artists who create art out of love and passion will be valued even more. Much like how handicrafts in an industrial and mechanized day and age still have their place. Also the countless “amish furniture” references I’ve encountered are a testament to that.

You don't understand why people create art. You're viewing art as a commodity in a capitalist society.
1) for their own creative fulfillment. Generative AI makes no difference.
2) for enjoyment / appreciation from other people. Generative AI makes little difference here since the average person's art is likely to be mediocre with or without generative AI
3) as a way to earn their living. Here generative AI will make a difference in some art professions, but that doesn't seem to be the implied scenario of the comment I was replying to.

Perhaps you are not familiar with how ai and machine learning work, and that’s okay, but ai doesn’t “study” and most certainly doesn’t “inspire” itself. It builds token databases that it then regurgitates. There no resemblance of human behaviour, just a simulation. Software always did that.
> It builds token databases that it then regurgitates. Isn't pretty much all human art just regurgitation, recombination of prior art, audiovisual experience, emotions, human experience?

It, but that’s irrelevant. AI doesnt learn as a human does.
But you're asserting that in case of AI training it's "stealing property", but imply it's not stealing for human learning. I think you need to substantiate this claim/difference. "Humans learn differently from AIs" is not enough.

Then please educate me: 1) for their own creative fulfillment. Generative AI makes no difference. 2) for enjoyment / appreciation from other people.
