# A bit at a time.

# Little bit of drama on the site where I occasionally post AI, people angry at not being credited when someone else uses their text prompt
Some are even claiming copyright on their prompts. Artists are such sensitive people!
Sadly, as things stand, not even the AI pics themselves can be copyrighted... due to insufficient human involvement lol.
To be clear, these people are trying to claim copyright on phrases such as, "sad fantasy princess in fairytale castle, award winner, masterpiece".
The term "prompt thief" got thrown around, somehow it's slipped some minds that everything it's built on is fucking stolen to begin with.

# clowns.
I had the same on one of the sites I was on. The fact that the prompts are publicly available to anyone seems to have gone over their heads. If they want private then they have to pay for it otherwise its fair game.

# trying to claim copyright on phrases such as, "sad fantasy princess in fairytale castle, award winner, masterpiece".
Though presumably companies copyright or trade mark slogans all the time. Also begs the question of what is the shortest piece of poetry or fiction that is currently copyrighted.
Presumably someone has used poetry or Shakespeare as prompts already.

# song lyrics are often used as prompts

# it's delicious to see them piss and moan
about their "hard work" (throwing together a word salad) being "stolen"

# Let's not forget that the "AI" art is shit too.
It's also not remotely AI, it's a statistical model when you examine it closely. The AI label is for the average dimwit that will buy things because "omg AI!" has been slapped on its label.

# Indeed
They slap "Ai" on almost anything these days from TV's to computers :/

I have yet to see an image that I could not find at least 5 or 6 faults in. At one point midjourney had almost perfected hands and faces and now seems to have gone backwards especially in group images. Having said that, some of the results that can be achieved with a bit of tweaking are quite remarkable but I wouldn't buy any of them. As I have said before, for me it's a toy and another thing to play with as a tool in photoshop (its very good when used in photo restoration)

# Yes I don't dismiss it as a handy tool.
Object removal, though still crude when you look closely, is handy and works "well enough" for the average holiday snap where some beach whale ruined your family photo. It's also a valid tool for providing inspiration. It's the use of the fully generative output that's trash - especially in terms of art. It's cheap, and will eventually lead to a dumbing-down of art in general. New generations will start to accept it, and we'll lose creativity as a result - if it is left unchecked.

# I'm increasingly less worried about it for that.
Fully generative stuff is always going to be rolling a dice and crossing your fingers. I can't see any way in which fully generative stuff can lead to work people actually care about.

Useful tools that have potentially infringed on skilled work in the past - Photoshop etc... made the entry level easier but allowed people to become highly skilled in it in its own right. Whereas prompt engineering is a load of bollocks - no one is ever going to be highly skilled in that.

It's proper use artistically is in things like letting Peter Jackson scale up The Beatles, isn't it?

# Photoshops generative is useless.
with a capitol U.

Only sort of half decent use of Ai I have seen recently is Fat Boy slims latest "video"
