"Prompt artists" in a production environment

HEXERACT @hexeract01 I have hired hundreds of artists during my career. I have built one of the best teams in the world at NVIDIA. Typing prompts and claiming to be an "Al artist" is not a valuable skill in a production environment. These types of abilities are not relevant in a professional setting. ts 80 LEVEL @80Level Dec 13 Dozens of ArtStation creators have united in protest against Al-generated images and demanded that ArtStation removes Al content from the website.

Anti-AI artists plan to join Copyright alliance. Disney is also a member of it.

We also plan to join the Copyright Alliance at the beginning of next year. This organization has years of experience in the copyright field representing big and small companies, trades, guilds, and labor unions, as well as individual creators and they have already done a lot of work on the subject of Al technologies and copyright. You can read a little more about that work here: https://copyrightalliance.org/ai-copyright-policies- must-respect-creators/ As a smaller organization representing individual creators with different needs and wants from large corporations we believe it's important to have a seat at the Copyright Alliance table to be the voice of artists in our community and beyond. Outside of their organization membership dues, they also offer free individual creator memberships providing a lot of great resources. If you are a US-based artist who is interested in joining, you can find out more here: https://copyrightalliance.org/get-involved/creator- membership/

I generated those images of Shirakami Fubuki with an AI supposedly superior to NovelAI (Anything v3.0 Pruned)

I don't know if it has an official name, though the ckpt file is called "anything v3.0 pruned".
Like NovelAI, it uses Stable Diffusion as a base to generate images.
After a few tests, I really feel like it gives overall better results than NovelAI, especially when trying to generate illustrations-like drawings.
The backgrounds are more detailed, the characters are more detailed, the poses are overall better.
Though it still suffers a lot from hand problems.
And what is great is that if it is better than NovelAI, that means that there's no need for anyone to pay for NovelAI anymore, unless they manage to make a better generator.

With the AI learning to draw like us, we must turn the tables and learn to draw like AI

Truly the lamest dystopia

1960's Futurists: Automation will free mankind from meaningless tedium to focus on creative pursuits only human beings can master. 2020's Techbros: We're building AI to write all your books, music, and TV so you can focus on the meaningless tedium of your cubicle job. -Patrick S Tomlinson

Less than a week after his death, Kim Jung Gi had his art style copied by an AI

R Thread Dave Scheidt @DaveScheidt This is why we talk so much s--- about Al "art". Kim Jung Gi left us less than a a week and Al bros are already "replicating" his style and demanding credit. Vultures and spineless, untalented losers. This sets a horrible precedent. 5You @BG_5you - 17h Hi! I just trained a model to draw in the style of the late Kim Jung Gi, as an hommage. I'm fairly happy with the results, given how complicated is his style. Hope you like it, feel free to use it by yourself (credit plz) : drive.google.com/drive/folders/... #KimJungGi #stablediffusion UR

This was published in 1986, for reference, and they’re literally touting the same “defense” of "We just copied your style!" today:

And here’s a good article on Kenny Who?, ai art, and the disrespect for artist's rights that still makes this relevant 36 years later.
