Just got banned from the midjourney FB group for suggesting that doing a glorified google image search did not equal a lifetime of studying form, composition, line, contrast, etc.
All of the little kids on reddit doing the fake artist routine, taking complete credit for MJ’s work, are the same as someone who can make a moving portrait from a bit of charcoal from the fire, or an inspiring monument from a bit of clay from the river.

- So it begins********
- Lots of "digital ai artist" and "generative ai artist" pop-up on insta these days, all "Open for comissions" in their bio and all posts from midjourney...********
- Pretty much the same category that considers themselves "content creators" and just posting selfies********
- what was that group? let me troll the shit out of them. i have some experience :D:D********
- fucking cannibal robot-art********
- I think it was just “midjourney ai” groupscarabin
- Why would you hire an illustrator anymore, can you get these folks at a fraction of the price?********
- @nb lol we're not there yet, not even close********
- @nb an author that I know who has tried to get me to do cutprice illustrations for the covers of her books for years is posting loads of MidJourney stuffPhanLo

- Personally, i view AI as an employee. You’ve gotta tease the best work out of it but it’s talented AFscarabin
- it super fast weird garbage at the moment. I'm sure it'll improve, that's the way of things. I like checking it out as much as the next guy.exador1
- but I notice the little things...faces that aren't 'actually' proper faces. or 'hot dog fingers'... or weird abstract noodlings that 'look' neat but are just odexador1
- odd. As has been said, it'll get better the longer it runs I'm sure. but I don't see it ruining our lives or anything. it'll be just another tool in the kit...exador1
- Been against it for years, and got responses here like I was some tinfoil loon. Social media games with DALL-E are just to train a discriminative library.garbage
- These AI "artists" are building a library of ideas, and eventually will become non-essential middlemen.garbage
- If you're in visual arts, there's an entire system that's growing exponentially, and will be able to spit out hundreds of variations that will..garbage
- ..pass the sniff test of skills that (I'm assuming) we've spent a few decades honing. It sucks, but it is what it is.garbage
- And again - there are NO layers - no edits, it's just "pretty pictures" - for now********
