[QUOTE="ART!, post: 9283724, member: 79926"] There was a Kickstarter project recently that piqued my interest, in part because the art looked amazing. And then I looked at the art a little closer and it seemed almost too good. Everything looked right, technically, but having looked at a lot of art that I know was AI generated I think my brain was noticing something I couldn't articulate. Something seemed odd about it. Then I checked the project's AI statement, and sure enough the art was AI-generated and AI-enhanced. (Because of that, I didn't back the project) So, sometimes art that does look "too good" is made by AI. I would argue "no". The history of art is full of artists who were good at some aspects of their craft but not good at others, and many of them leaned into what they were good at and made their weaknesses into strengths. Using AI to improve or enhance one's art just feels lame to me. Instead, put the work in to figure out your style. Now, having said that, an English teacher friend of mine pointed out that some of his students use things like ChatGPT to write their papers, and he can always tell when they have. But some of his students use it to learn how to write better: they see the things ChatGPT has changed or otherwise pointed out, then they go through and re-write, and maybe do that a couple times. Those students get better at writing. Is there a use of AI that would be like this for visual artists? Maybe - I honestly don't know. Maybe you could run your original art through an AI and see what it changes, and then go back to your work and retool it yourself. But in these examples, you're not having AI do the work, you're using it as a learning tool. That seems fine to me...? [/QUOTE]
