Recently I uploaded some AI wallpapers.And immediately,one user told me to add 'AI art' tag unless many people will mad and don't download it. I heard AI art for a long time and knew it still has some disadvantages.So I don't think we should hate AI art because it's just a part of art and can't replace human's works. So what do you think about it?(My native language is not English so sorry for my grammar mistakes)
Why many people hate AI art?
30932 30934 I recently downloaded an amazing AI wallpaper of a certain character which is better than pretty much every other picture of said character, just ignore the haters, they have nothing better to do with their lives than complain.
30935 It's often low quality, boring, uninspired, and (maybe the most important part) IT'S EVERYWHERE in LOADS. So it gets even more boring FAST. As an added bonus many practices regarding its implementation are either unethical or questionable. It's the same reaction MLM/Pyramid scheme, cryptobros and NFT shills get... like... why is this thing even here? So yeah, a lot of people hate on it. On a measured note, the technology seems to have some future cool applications, but not nearly as overwhelmingly present as everyone is making it out to be.
Note: My native language is not english either, but spanish. If you'd like to chat about it in any of those languages feel free to message directly.

Such as?
30946 AI "art" kill sites like this. Pets are not real, faces, bodys. Nothing is real, maybe we live in not real Matriks.
30947 AI art is ugly. I can't stand it.
The real question should be "Why so many people like AI art and what they find in it?"

Basically this.
Some AI art is meh but others are just absolutely incredible. Then I see someone say "this sucks" for one of the incredibly detailed ones and I think bruh what are you talking about lol.
Everyone has their own opinions however. One mans junk is another mans treasure and vice versa.
One thing I dislike though about the AI images is I notice a lot of blur at times. I hate blur... bleh
There will always be haters for everything everywhere basically no matter what someone out there will find a reason to hate it lol
Though I do get it when almost everything uploaded is nothing but AI images. Be the change you want to see. Want less AI images? Upload more realistic images :3
Let's not forget you can still find plenty of great and real images by using random instead of latest all the time ;]
30960 This all comes down to people not understanding this development (i blame misuse of the term "AI" everywhere these days)
- You dont have to share the pictures you make with image generation in a few minutes, we can all make those (not saying you do this btw, just an example)
- A good picture made with image generation takes just as long (or longer) to make as making one with photoshop or whatever image program (the real good pictures are literally the result of people trying to find the perfect balance of prompts for days with many different models)
When Photoshop implemented "AI" stuff a few years ago (all that "content aware" stuff) pretty much nobody bat an eye & the few "artists" that whined about it quickly realized that they still had a job, so honestly no clue why some people are acting all weird about it now, it still takes a lot of work to get something good out of it, ignore the haters, they just want attention or blame AI for not being good artists themselves. 🤷♂️
30966 Content-aware fill didn't create 10 additional pages of uploads each week - it didn't change the number of uploads at all and it wasn't lower quality. Whereas AI Art is getting uploaded to this website at a mass amount and in 99% of them there are clear visible artifacts or "blur" as CharlieDontSurf described it.
(the real good pictures are literally the result of people trying to find the perfect balance of prompts for days with many different models)
Days is how long real art typically takes. I've worked on uploads for weeks before. Which should show you that even at its most complicated state, AI ART is much easier to create, where you can easily spit out 10x the amount of uploads.

I like how you disregarded artists that complained about AI "Art" as not really an artist by using Quotation marks, and then calling them bad artists. That's almost like gaslighting but different or maybe it is Gaslighting, or what's the term for downplaying the work of others in pursuit of defending something so generic in stupendous manner? I'm not sure, english is not my first language. It also seems like you're advocating hard for it because you can't do art yourself and this is an easy way to do it and feel good about yourself, just basing it on how you phrase your words, I'm not saying you're a bad person (Yet) I'm just reading how you phrase your words. Seems whiny at best. And I think I've read that response as well on facebook once when a comic book page condemned it and someone just left almost an exact word for word response in a comment section. Feels like you're saying "Why are you offended?" while being offended that someone is commenting something about AI Art.
Anyway AI Art is basically taking all of those hard earned skills by actual artists and using that as a database, hence why some AI art look so eerily the same to other artists works like for example SamDoesArts, or Proko, David Finch, Ghibli, etc. Depends on what you want as a result. It's also somehow generic looking with multiple defects and that's because of again, it's just stolen from several sets of pictures and mushing them together, I should know, I have one, I use it to hustle, print shirts, mugs, tumblers, plates, etc. Am I proud of it? No, I basically stole some artists artworks and claim them as my own because it's slightly different, and for that reason is why I'll never defend AI Art as much as the other guy.
Also, I call bullshit on it taking long or longer, yes it takes long to train the AI but once you get it started, there's no stopping you generating soulless generic works every 10 minutes. Again, I use one. It's basically Copy Paste but more high-tech but less uniqueness or personality, and too many defects.

So like, i dont mean to be rude, but to me, yes, i do feel like the people that complained about "content aware" stuff in the past we're just mediocre/bad artists.
For as far as im aware Gaslighting is not a term that exists in other languages, its an American concept that i dont even fully understand after reading several definitions for it, its one of those catch-all terms that people use like 'woke'? Again some weirdly vague American concept.
Anyway lets not derail into linguistics, my 2 cents on "AI art" since apparently i failed to bring them across with my previous reply: It's here to stay and all the hate its getting is totally unneeded, its not going to replace artists/photographers/etc. In regards to the "spam" argument, we dont need a special section for it, we just need wallhaven to enforce proper tagging more. And the fact that people upload "low quality" stuff is fine as long as they tag it properly, everybody has to start somewhere.
Yes im not an artist my any means and yes i did generate some images with StableDiffusion spin-offs, i dont consider anything of what i made upload worthy tho, im not an artist & very much consider image generation as a tool for artists. Imho people should use it to make a basic composition with roughly what you they are going for, then change the output into an actually good piece of art with the usual tools, saving like 50% of the time in the process? i dont see why people are so opposed to this idea & like in the past im leaning towards "some people are just salty that some guy with some software can make half decent pictures with less effort", the thing that sets artists apart from 'some guy' is putting in the extra effort.
Again, im focussing in the bigger picture here, because that's what the topic title asked about, the argument of "spam on wallhaven" is just a matter of enforcing proper tagging & not something im really worried about, im just saying that "hate" towards "AI Art" is completely unneeded.

You're not focusing on a bigger picture at all or at the very least it's not the only thing you're focusing on, you're just vehemently trying to defend a shitty act while calling anyone who opposes it as garbage, downplaying their efforts and works while stealing from them, that's like when a thief steals your bike and then that thief beats you for not having the bike he wanted. That's the issue there, "oh look, he hates AI Art, he's not a good artist" Yeah, SamDoesArts is not a good artist, All of the artists who feel violated and their hard work stolen without given credit are not good artists, yet we stole from them. I'm guilty of it too, do I tell them "Do better" or "You suck, you're not a real artist for complaining about AI" while crying that you're the victim here because your "hard work" that lasted for 10 minutes is being questioned. fuck no. It's shameful. You do better, instead of degrading artists for their works being stolen and acknowledging that fact.
Such a toxic mindset reminds me of me when I was 14. And you keep referencing the Photoshop feature doesn't mean that they're still not done by hand, unlike AI, and you keep glorifying it to a point where you're almost saying it takes more effort to be an AI artist than an actual artist, who mind you, spends hours in one piece, not minutes. And you AI Bros keep parroting these for some reason, why? You know it's not true, it's never true.
Everyone wants AI tagged out or blocked because they're sick of it, I'm sick of it and I use it for my livelihood (Despite in fear of being copyright infringed) and I should be thankful for it, but no, the guilt is too much, and that's before I knew that artists are complaining about it.
My point is, you have to do better, don't lie to everyone about AI Art is hard work, don't lie about it not just a bunch of datasets smooshed together to make an image in an amazingly short amount of time, and Definitely don't shoot any artists down for complaining about AI Art while stealing from them, Do Better. I'm not saying feel guilty like me, I'm just saying, Do Better.
And I may sound Brazen at most but that's just because English is again not my first language and it's hard to translate.
31015 AI is perfect,but actually no perfect for art.Art needs creativity and specially. But AI's 'perfect', is a kind of destroy.
31016 AI art is just boring and lazy. That's it.
