Well, people like what comes out of Stable Diffusion. Which is perfectly fine.
This is like the pizza shop complaining that I'm cooking at home.
its more like the pizza shop calling you out when you're cooking frozen pizza and calling yourself a chef
all power to you if you want to just consume slop, but dont complain when you turn around years later and the quality of everything across the board has gone even further to shit cos you were so happy you could type in words and see anything you wanted for all the 15 minutes of dopamine it gave you
Artist incomes are threatened by the rise of Generative models. Especially mediocre artists who Stable Diffusion have already surpassed.
Technology changes the world and obsoletes some professions. It has been like this for ever. Artists are not any different.
genuinely curious what you mean by 'mediocre artists' and the idea that Stable Diffusion has 'surpassed' them
do you have any examples? or is this just a vibes thing?
take a look at civitai: https://civitai.com/images
there are some amazing gems there.
that doesn't answer my question though - what are you defining as a mediocre artist? or is anything that doesn't fit the 'hyper realistic AI' look count as mediocre?
there are lots of graphics designers making content for various advertisements, promotions, digitial animation, effects and the like. these are the first people to be replaced. that is what I mean.
again, its just very clear you have no clue what graphic design involves, let alone anything else to do with the creative process
art really is just 'pretty picture' innit
why would someone pay for a graphics designer when Stable Diffusion can do the same?
How do you plan to tell stable diffusion things like "make the star a bit bigger" or "move the words slightly further to the left"? Have you ever actually used a graphic designer? You don't just ask them to make you a logo and they're done, there's a lot of back and forth between artist and client to reach the final product.
