Begging people to stop reblogging this AI trash from “The Phantom Painter” on Instagram (instagram.com/phantom.painting). I’ve been seeing it on my dash more and more often from people who are otherwise anti-AI and either can’t tell it’s AI or don’t care because it looks cool.

This is the kind of shit that is VERY CLEARLY trained on the works of existing talented artists’ with distinct styles and this asshole is selling prints and making a profit off of stealing other people’s hard work.

Don’t give people like this money or attention and they will go away.

Please, if you’re going to buy art prints, buy them from an actual artist.

Are Chat GPT and AI art a threat to writers and artists?

Lately, I’ve come across beautiful, breathtaking works on Instagram that are said to be generated with Midjourney and they leave me feeling conflicted (like phantom.painting & nyx.s.journey).

The ethical dilemma these tools represent hasn’t been an obstacle for publication. An example is Alice & Sparkle, a story written by Chat GPT and illustrated with Midjourney.

Furthermore, there’s a surge in AI generated stories being published on Amazon, too.

Is it only hype or are these tools actually good enough to make what we do redundant? I signed up to Chat GPT with a few requests to come to a conclusion myself. 

I alternated between asking for facts, or proposals of itineraries for trips, and even ideas for social media strategies--these I thought were helpful. Then, I entered more creative prompts: I asked for a short story, a joke, a suggestion for a dance choreography (since I’m also a dance teacher)... None of these were good. 

When it comes to illustration, I did a couple of exercises with DALL-E2, to see if they could bring the concept of my WIP to life. Some of the results were pretty, but very far from what I wanted. 

After this exercise, I was left thinking that the tool can be helpful only in some areas--I would’ve killed to have this when doing corporate paperwork, for example. But, when it comes to writing and art, although these tools might provide a starting point, they’re low-quality copycats.

I think AI comes on the losing side against the creativity and ingenuity of flesh and bone writers and artists. At least, for now.

What do you think?
