    It’s proof of nothing really. Just because a drawn picture won once means squat. Also, AI can be used alongside drawing - for references for instance. It’s a tool like any other. Once you start using it in shit ways, it results in shit art. Not to say it doesn"t have room to improve tho

    Also, imagine if the situation were reversed and an AI drawing was entered instead to a drawing contest. People would be livid, instead of celebrating breaking the rules.

      Except that already happened, and people were livid. Your correct assessment of such a scenario says a lot more than your half hearted defences for AI art.

        Yeah, so people were pissed off when AI art has been entered into a drawing contest, why are people celebrating someone cheating and putting a drawing into an AI contest?

    • The only people I’ve ever heard say AI is good for “references” are people who aren’t artists.

      Because AI makes for LOUSY references. (Unless your art style specifically involves clothing pieces melding into each other without rhyme or reasons and cthonic horrors for hands and limbs.)

      True, a sample of one means nothing, statistically speaking.

      AI can be used alongside drawing

      Why would I want a function drawing for me if I’m trying to draw myself? In what step of the process would it make sense to use?

      for references for instance

      AI is notorious for not giving the details someone would pick a reference image for. Linkie

      It’s a tool like any other

      No they are not “a tool like any other”. I do not understand how you could see going from drawing on a piece of paper to drawing much the same way on a screen as equivalent as to an auto complete function operated by typing words on one or two prompt boxes and adjusting a bunch of knobs.


      Also, just out of curiosity, do you know how “back propagation” is, in the context of Machine Learning? And “Neuron” and “Learning”?

        I don’t do this personally but I know of wildlife photographers who use AI to basically help visualize what type of photo they’re trying to take (so effectively using it to help with planning) and then go out and try and capture that photo. It’s very much a tool in that case.
