Can we get a subforum for AI work?

I second this. When i come to the artwork section its been overwhelming with the AI stuff. It would be nice to separate the two. I personally dont think they are in the same category.
 
I mentioned that I was going to message the mods/admins about this in another post, but I was a lazy piece of garbage and never did it.

So thank you for creating this. Nothing personal against people who wish to generate AI art (not a fan of the term, "AI ARTIST" since the machine is creating the art) but yeah. AI art is mucking up the tickling art section in my opinion, and with advances in AI technology and software, its getting harder to identify what is and is not AI art. It's gotten to the point now where I have just started avoiding the tickling art section altogether as I don't feel like dealing with the multitude of AI posts. As fast as human artists can work, AI can generate 10x faster. For every one piece of art created by a human, AI can generate 10 to 20 pieces in multiple varying styles. It's insanity.

I have called a few people out on here asking them to identify their AI art in the title, but many more continue to forget. For those of us who don't like or believe in AI-generated art and would rather just avoid it altogether, this makes it that much harder to do.

So yes, I believe a sub-forum for any and all things AI should be created. Again, not trying to sound like a jerk, but with AI's continued growth and domination over our future to the point where it is beginning to beat out and push out humans both in work and the creativity fields, I think it is important for us to take a stand and segregate or distinguish between human and AI whenever possible.

Hopefully all of you are on the human side.
 
So before I commit to sides, how do you feel about 3D art using a computer and a program like Daz?
 
I'm giving this some thought - I don't know what the long term impact of this would be. Are AI people going to feel like they're being put into a "not a real artist' secondary location? Some AI is very generic and not particularly interesting, but some of it is among the most compelling tickling content I've ever seen. And I want to welcome it, encourage it, and treat it like the important part of the future of tickling media that it clearly is.

I know some people dislike it, and I respect their point of view. But it's here to stay and I don't want to accidentally make the TMF a place that is passively hostile to that, by making it seem like something we don't respect or appreciate.
 
I wasnt trying to make a division, merely thought there was enough of it to warrant its own section. Its all art, it should belong in the art forum, but could be a subforum within the art forum because its big enough it will have a lot of traffic.

It depends on how much human interaction there is. A lot of artists use 3D modeling or computer sketch pads or whatever to create and fix art. I follow several of these artists.

EDIT: I wasn't familiar with what Daz is, but I looked it up and it seems like they offer pre-generated models, objects, etc. for artists to work with. But you still have to take those models and objects and use some creativity to create something out of it. Its not just typing into a generator and sitting back while the AI draws and colors an image for you.

AI is entirely different. AI art is created entirely by a machine. Not even really created per say because that would imply its from scratch and the AI's imagination which it lacks. Rather it generates an image based off of thousands and thousands of images and content on the internet. AI is simply machine learning. A machine learns by absorbing other people's content and then repressing it for its own "creations".

So now you have humans coming in and basically typing out or telling one of these AI machine learning programs what to create. "Create an image of Kim Possible being tickled while hogtied and barefoot. Make her laughing with tears streaming down her face, etc. Etc." You get it. I don't personally consider that art. Literally anyone can do that. Now some people that refer to themselves as AI artists are able to get these machines to generate much better images than others, but at the end of the day, they are really not doing any artistry of their own.

Now I have heard of some artists creating art and having AI touch it up or something like that. My feelings are mixed on that. But as far as AI image generation goes, I don't consider it art and those who do it should not be allowed to call themselves artists. Like I said, AI generators can easily pop out 20 to 30 images an hour. A good artist is lucky to pop out a few images a week. I know because I am subscribed to a couple people on Patreon and they release content once a week whereas AI people are releasing 20 to 30 images a day. Its BS in my opinion
 
For me, art had a style , most of the ai stuff has none, just a type. For me, most of it looks the same. Yes there is effort involved, but its just not the same thing.
 
As someone who's been posting a lot of AI, I certainly am not offended or discouraged if they're separate categories.
I fully appreciate that playing with AI isn't the same as being an artist and some people want to have a forum for encouraging and celebrating the artists.
Just like we have separate spots for videos, photo images and other "art", I see no problem with segmenting off the AI-generated content.
But then again, it's additional work for someone who's managing all this. There are kind souls just doing all this sh!t for the rest of us...
 
I think every AI image/video that is strictly prompt → result without any kind of manual work or post-processing should go into the existing AI thread. As someone who uses various AI tools on a daily basis, I consider stuff like this incredibly lazy and one of the main reasons why people have such an aversion for anything AI related.

People should only make individual threads for serious works that actually required some kind of effort (generating from your preexisting sketches; going through the image afterwards and retouching obvious AI mistakes; using AI only partially to generate assets for a photo collage because it's something very specific and you can't find a real photo reference; etc.)

Agree with this. Nothing wrong with using AI to generate assets/images for larger compositions, but if it is just a prompt generated image/video it should go to a separate thread. Most of the prompt-only generations aren't good.

To be frank, I like some AI, but I do find myself browsing the artist forum less because I know it's just a bunch of AI artwork, which I feel is unfair to people who actually have real art up for sale. It's inadvertently affecting people's income(if they are using this as part of their income) because I just don't like to come here to just be bombarded by AI posts.
