    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.

      How will AI take over creative professions when it can’t even perform rote professions? AI chatbots keep going rogue and lying to customers about company policies (and even the actual law), image generators can’t get enough of illegal and violent imagery, facial recognition AI’s keep identifying black people as all looking the same - in art the value of a peice is constrained by the meaning it has to people, so why do you think that LLMs and all the other predictive generators we laughably call intelligent will be able to create meaningful peices by putting together the most likely set of pixels?

          I didn’t ask when, I asked how. How is a prediction engine, that is something that guesses a likely output based on past information, going to display creativity?

            The results speak for themselves. There is amazing AI generated content out there.

              I don’t fucking care if it’s on the moon, answer my question: by what mechanism will a machine learning model exhibit creativity? Like you understand my question, right - you know how “AI” works?

                You can’t convince people that something does not exist, if they can see it with their own eyes.

                  So you don’t know how AI works? And can I remind you that you literally haven’t offered a single image as evidence, just vaguely told people to go look at websites? Even if you weren’t avoiding my question, you do understand that you have to show specific examples to back your claims up?

                    I don’t understand your problem. There are mountains of images and videos in many online communities. CivitAI is probabl the biggest. There are even several ones in lemmy. Take your pick.
