Hello everybody!

Since I announced that I will do ai animations few hours ago, I had many unexpected aggressive response to ai animations in every social media... some of then with pure hate... I'm puzzle!

I just wanted to use it as a new tool for my art.

So, I would like to ask your opinion. Would you like me to do these ai animations or not?

Feel free to comment also but please, be kind and not rude!

Thanks in advance!

Hugs

Thank you for asking, David. My own concerns about AI are: 1) Large-language models (LLMs) or "generative AI" are often trained on writing and art without the owner's consent and without compensation. I've had dozens of my own books stolen to train AI models. 2) Data-centers necessary to power AI models are environmental nightmares, using up vast amounts of electricity, polluting the environment, and often ruining the area around them, and they're often placed close to low-income homes who have no choice in the matter. 3) Generative AI has been used as an excuse to lay off thousands of people from their jobs on the idea that AI will replace them or make their work more "efficient." 4) Most AI models lack safeguards and some have caused literal suicides and accidental deaths that no one is being held accountable for. 5) AI-generated slop is overwhelming publishing channels and drowning out legitimate creators and their work. Unless someone could address all of those concerns, I cannot support the use of AI in a creative project.

Dear David ... From my point of view, there is nothing wrong with using AI as an additional tool for an artist like yourself. It simply creates a multiverse of interpretations, versions, and perspectives of your art. The real question is whether it replaces your handmade creations. AI cannot replicate the quality of your drawings, which are shaped by your unique style and the way your mind and hand work together—and that's exactly why I love your work. At the same time, as an artist, limiting yourself to only one form of expression doesn't seem right. Exploring new tools and new ways to create can open unexpected possibilities while still preserving the essence of what makes your art uniquely yours. Personally, I would welcome it.

I am not trying to be aggressive but I can't accept that kind of stuff. It starts for animations, then you see the "easy doorway" and start using it more. While people appreciate the work that you sweat on producing like many others with long hours of work... I am sorry but...no. it's just like people start with one drink then more...

Thanks a lot for this information, Steve! I didn't know all of that!

davidcantero

Thanks DJ! I was only try it for my animations... Now that I see the feeback, I don't think I will continue with that...

davidcantero

Thanks for your comment! I will decide next month what to do. Hugs

Just, don't be surprised to see your work used by others after or people not following you if you go that way. Even if only for part of your work.

Mi spiace caro amico, ma temevo questa reazione "violenta" da parte di molti. E te l'ho anche scritto stamattina nel post precedente. Quello che molti non capiscono è che purtroppo il problema non è dell'AI in sé, quanto di chi ne fa un uso sbagliato e distorto. Sfruttando e rubando il lavoro di altri artisti, e magari chi lo fa non sa nemmeno tenere una matita in mano o creare dal nulla qualcosa di artistico e unico. E si definisce comunque artista. Aggredirti e arrabbiarsi con te, che sei l'Artista con la A maiuscola, e che sono anni che crei meraviglie con la tua testa e le tue mani, prima ancora che l'AI sapesse di poter esistere e diventare il pomo della discordia, mi sembra veramente un modo meschino e gratuito di ribadire quanto l'AI se usata in modo sbagliato possa ledere la creatività e l'onestà artistica e intellettuale di tutti noi artisti. E non mi sembra giusto che tu ne debba pagare le conseguenze. D'altro canto però, come già detto, e lo credo fermamente, se l'AI viene usata dagli addetti ai lavori che sanno veramente quanto l'arte sia sudore e dedizione, ed è sicuramente il tuo caso, e viene usata con intelligenza e a supporto di creazioni, che di per sé sono già fantastiche per dare loro un surplus, che probabilmente in modo diverso non avrebbero lo stesso risultato o comunque un certo riscontro visivo spettacolare, possa andare assolutamente bene. Perché no?!? Perché demonizzare un qualcosa che può essere un aiuto facoltativo per gli artisti, quando i veri "colpevoli" sono i furbetti che si spacciano per artisti, solo perché si annoiano e trovano un po' di divertimento in un giocattolo che non sanno usare in maniera intelligente? Ti sono vicino amico mio e il mio supporto alla tua meravigliosa arte, con o senza AI, lo avrai a prescindere. Sempre. Per me non cambia nulla, perché stimo l'artista e l'amico che sei, e so quanto vali anche senza l'aggiunta dell'AI. Però, valuta seriamente se questa dell'AI possa essere davvero un'opzione valida da cavalcare e portare avanti, in qualsiasi modo tu voglia, a rischio di perdere una fetta di persone a cui basta sentire la parola AI per perdere tutto l'amore, e rispetto per il grande artista che sei e saresti a prescindere da tutto. 💪🏻🫂💖😘

Hola vaya siento esas reacciones tan negativas, creo que es una opción como artista tan rica como cualquier otra. Ánimo y sin cortapisas!

Con todo respeto, siempre eh admirado su trabajo, su talento y sigue siendo una fuente de inspiración para seguir mejorando, justamente todo lo que representa considero que es contrario a lo que la ia es, su trabajo tiene personalidad, alma, sabor, lo disfruto muchísimo, en cambio un producto hecho con ia… no considero que sea el tipo de contenido que me agrade ver, respeto si quiere utilizar esas herramientas, pero personalmente siempre voy a valorar más un producto hecho por un humano, a uno hecho por una computadora

i always say do what you want to do. people complain about ai but they use real people likeness to make porn with out their consent. they use character from video games and comics, you know character that other artist made and put them into porn without asking and make money. youtubers still each others style from thumb nails to skits. with all that being said it looks like people said no and considering this how you make money so you have to listen to your customers

Spectri

there is already a lora based off his style. and this sounded more like a threat than advice. none of this sounds aggressive and im sure you still dont mean to sound that way

Karmakat

Sigh. If you say so...but it wasn't my point.

David, the biggest asset you have is your talent and - most of all - your humanity. Most of the people who enthusiastically encourage you to use AI today will gladly replace you with an AI app tomorrow. The technology is getting better and better. Soon, it will be able to copy all your characters. So I think that if you want to survive as an artist, it’s imperative that you stay away from it and engage with your fans like before. You’re a very skilled and talented artist. Don’t give up your humanity to an artificial generator that can produce images with a click of a button.

Im honest when I say I was shocked to see you promoting AI usage, especially since I also see many artists fighting against AI, as it’s known to abuse the input given, and thus basically ripping off art styles I do agree to the usage of AI as a tool, but I wouldn’t recommend using AI for animations or any other form of art as the main engine

Richard Cook

You're the artist. You will be present in any work or media you commit to. Follow your instincts.

davidcantero

Thanks, Yanko! Yes... I will think about! XXX

Yepp, a tool for pattern recognition in big data analysis, but that's pretty much the only useful use-case (which includes supportive - not replacing) pattern recognition for medical diagnosis maybe in personal medicine development. But (ab)using it for illegally scraped "art variation creations" with a model, that illegally scrapes ALL artists' work and then mixes it back together, seems really a bad idea. I think there are artists who could also help David with creating a fitting 3D-Model of Euribatos to make a statue of him to sell maybe (since that's where he tried it out first earlier this year?). And animators, who could also use his work with his permission in collaboration to make animations with. It requires more communication, trust and human interaction, but also results in much more credible and beautifully unique and REAL ART-work then!

davidcantero

Grazie, Lilo, tesoro! Non mi aspettavo una reazione così esagerata... Lascerò che lo shock si plachi e penserò a cosa fare. Mille baci

Night Haunter

More than happy to provide feedback! As much as I was shocked, I still am more shocked by the absolute audacity of others to just go on a hate campaign… my god, get a life 😂

A.I. is not queer art, it is not gay art, it is robots pooping in a bucket on command. If you want to make these gifs, they cannot be allowed into LGBT spaces. Furthermore, I only patronize art and literature featuring LGBT characters if it is also made by an LGBT person.

Lilo Arpen

Esattamente. A mente fresca e più lucida, quando appunto gli animi si saranno placati e ritornerà il sereno, valuterai se proseguire o no. Tu sei un bravo Artista, e non sarà certo l'apporto dell'AI a sminuirne il tuo valore, la bellezza delle tue creazioni e la persona onesta che sei e che certo non sta cercando una "easy doorway" per la realizzazione dei suoi futuri progetti. Ti abbraccio forte. Un bacio grande. 🫂💖😘

Generally speaking, I don’t really like generative AI. If it’s used purely as a tool (for example, to create a moving animation instead of a GIF), I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. However, if it’s actually used to create a drawing, a comic, a piece of art (or a porno ;-) I fear the results will soon be just as meaningless and interchangeable as my colleagues’ PowerPoint presentations already are …
