i run the game development club at my university, and came into it as an art person. my credentials is i am a computer science/electrical engineering undergrad student. when i took over, this is more or less what i told the group.
To start: none of this is true AI. That’s an incorrect statement on the abilities of current software. This is machine learning (ML) and neural networks. We’re all STEM majors here, we know code. There are some very interesting and useful applications for machine learning. Data is the backbone of everything, and without a reference database, you have nothing for the machine to learn. If your data is bad, your neural network is bad, no matter how good the algorithm is.
I am all for research into software and the ways it can be used to better our lives. What I believe in is ethical research and ethical data collection. All the public ML art generation tools are working on scraped and stolen data, from people who have never had the chance to consent. This is unethical. If you have a ML program that has been created using data that was given with full consent, and full permission to utilize generated content, then be my guest. ML is a super interesting exercise in how computers work and the algorithms behind them. If you scraped that data from the internet with no consent from its creators, that is theft.
There are certainly discussions to be had on archival artwork, things made by people who have since passed, but that is not the question here. I am here to encourage creativity and design. Do it yourself, and do it bad, but do it. We can learn from it, and in the end you’ll be better for it.
hey guys
I’m working on an article for a class which I got permission to do [since it’s off topic to what we’re meant to do]
can I ask what peoples opinions are on Ai art? this is mainly towards other artists and how they feel about the entire Ai art thing
since I’m not sure if I can find any sources to grab to write into it, I’m allowed to ask others for their opinion for quote grabbing. maybe so if you’re alr with that
LOOK. i just need to get FIVE QUESTIONS out of 26 to PASS THIS CLASS AND NEVER TAKE PHYSICS AGAIN. FIVE OUT OF 26. and LOOK. in my sleep deprived delirious state i got 7 of the 9 i attempted correct. SO. i SHOULD PASS. barely. it doesn’t matter i’m not going into physics

have you ever opened up the minecraft soundtrack. and the music is playing. and you stand, and you look out the window. it’s the middle of the night, nothing is moving out there. but the lights are out there. out of focus (it’s late, your eyes need rest) and it all feels like being cradled by a tonky piano. you’re playing in front of your terrible tv, the huge box hooked up to the xbox 360. you’re in your bed, in the corner under the covers, playing on a cheap secondhand tablet. you’re 8, and 13, and 20, and nothing and everything. it’s a sound you’ve never heard before, it’s the sound you know. and the sound holds you with love, because you are love.
do you ever just generate a whole group dynamic and have only 1 design and zero names. yeas.
he… probably… not sure. idon’t know. rich kid who had the choice of any school, and path, whatever. decided to be a tech. by the time they were out of school and a part of the team that keeps fathoms in one piece they realized how bad things are for her, and they want to do Something. but they can’t. their parents work hard to be in good view of the council, and if they were to speak out? not good. not fun at all.
