Is AI Stealing My Art?

[parkdalegardener]

If you look at the threads here you will notice that most any that use AI, myself included; use it as a tool in the process and not as the process in and of itself. Straight prompt to output image really doesn't supply a reasonable result without user intervention.

As a for instance; many here use DAZ as their content provider and render suite. Though I do not use DAZ myself I know that they offer an AI enhancement tool that works with their software. I don't see a lot of it in the galleries but it is around.

I am a traditional artist. I am a 3D artist. I am a traditional animator with major screen credits and I am a computer animator with lesser known work. To me it isn't about the tools one uses; it's about the results they achieve in realizing their vision.

Correct. Yes I understand AI on sites as well and yes I render in Daz.
Just my 2c I added. I was more talking about physical art in general.

Daz AI isn't good at all imo. I tried it, and it's bad for the hands for example. How can it be bad for hands when it's based on a 3D stuff?
Anyway, I like to play with AI time to time (Stable Diffusion online) because even with 3D I can't do some things I wished to do. Nothing is perfect, but it's enough for I'm pleased most of time. And it happens I share a piece in the FA gallery. If I had to share all I do, you would be flooded.
But I start to think to perhaps use few in png then printed for scrapbooking (we haven't many models of postal cards in our little town, that's why I started a little to do such things).

I am getting old...I remember when I first started using poser...how people were jumping up and down...saying it's not art...the program is doing it for you lol...
To me ANY form of art is creative and if it helps you get to where your mind is telling you what you want it to look like...then go for it!!


Edited to add...
I love postwork...and I use it on EVERY image I render/make...does that make me a bad person...NO it does not...just another form of expression!
