    If someone made a disturbing deep fake of someone to prove a point then they’d rightly be condemned for their disgusting behavior.

    Making an image sexualizing someone without there consent is wrong, no matter if you use AI or draw it yourself.

    As a side note, I’m also a little sick of hearing people use the term ‘Luddite’ without any knowledge of the historical context.

      The Luddites were the stupid ones who simply lashed out because they didnt understand the new tech.

        You sure about that? Sounds like some righteous motivation and then the owner class writing the history they wanted remembered after the fact by trying to have the term adopted in wealthy-owned media as simply those “afraid of any new technology”

        “The Luddites were members of a 19th-century movement of English textile workers who protested the use of certain types of automated machinery due to concerns relating to worker pay, child labor, working conditions and output quality. They often destroyed the machines in organised raids. Members of the group referred to themselves as Luddites, self-described followers of “Ned Ludd”, a legendary weaver whose name was used as a pseudonym in threatening letters to mill owners and government officials.”

        That’s just the Wikipedia intro, I’m sure plenty here with more depth to add.

    Drawing is fun. There’s something really fulfilling about taking an image or idea from your imagination and turning it into a physical reality in front of you. It’s a hobby humans have had since we first became humans, and I’m not about to let some machine take that away from me. I don’t care if it takes me minutes or weeks, the effort is what makes the piece mine. There’s no substitute for that satisfaction.

      It’s also pretty dang cool to be able to literally show people what you’re thinking, to manifest dreams into physical reality. Being an actual artist gives you the power to do that.

        100%. Sometimes words simply can’t cut it, and there’s no way an AI can capture the exact perspective I’d like to convey. I got into art as a way to communicate the way I see things, which seems to be different from how many people do. I love having a way to express abstract concepts, from the warmth I feel when drinking coffee, to the cloudiness that fills my brain when I’m overwhelmed. People resonate with the human commonality behind it all, and I’ve found that making visual representations can go a long way in helping others understand my mind.

        No AI can do that. The thought of adding an extra middleman that can’t comprehend the assignment, and having to waste time prompting and re-prompting because of it, sounds like a great way to end up giving up in frustration.

        Oh, and Happy Cake Day!

    If anything, porn is what generative AI excels at. You could generate that image locally since the first models came out. Now? The parents could have tentacles even if you wanted while turning into furries. All in disturbingly realistic detail if further trained.

    AI-bro is right in one thing though, drawing does take time
    and yet the artist was able to produce a drawing of them fornicating with the parents in mere moments…

    Was the interaction premeditated, or is that just what they like to draw?

      prior to AI some people traced over real art or just ran it through a copy machine could also claim they saved time but they are still incapable without the real artist coming up with the art in the first place to copy from, cannot claim it as their creation, still cannot teach how to create art and will never experience the pleasure, therapy, effort or skill that changes the brain as it learns from creating the art.

      but hey : they saved themselves some time.

      they might also save time not being born to experience life if it is that much of a bother for them

        Sure, but there isn’t any art out there of you having sex with my parents (i hope) for you to trace or otherwise copy, so if I just met you and you whipped out a drawing of just that without a moments delay, i would probably call the police and request a restraining order between you and my parents

    Wait, so he says that AI can’t generate obscene things because of all the filters but then fails to publish an obscene drawing himself? Is that really a win?
