I found Pose Maniacs, a royalty-free pose reference site, and I knew I had to draw my favorite ragtag group from My Time at Portia 🥰 They’re such maniacs for jogging around the town in their full gear, but who am I to judge? Still have to clean up the sketch and work on the background, but I like the progress and wanted to share!

I need to interrupt your evening to inform you that PoseManiacs is back!

But wait, there's more! I can't believe I'm saying this, but PoseManiacs (might have) actually employed ethical AI generator integration. Or rather they license from a company that does so.

Generated Photos creates people that don't exist, but instead of scrapping their images from the internet like certain AI generators we all know, their generator is sourced from models photographed in their studio.

I have yet to come across any shady things about this company specifically (kind of hard when your company name is basic AI keywords) so I could be wrong and please inform me if I am. But their user agreement does state their products can't be used for illegal purposes.

That won't stop misuse, but real stock photos suffer from the same problems anyway (the AI bot hordes are coming).

Do I think this is a good replacement for stock photography? Hell no. Their photos suffer from "same face syndrome"; they don't have any unique or interesting facial features real people have (something GP addresses tbf). And a lot of them are oozing the uncanny valley. You're still better off using real stock, going to life drawing sessions, or just asking a friend to model for you.

I can't say I encourage the company itself since they jumped in the Pandora's Box that should not have been opened the way it was (and shouldn't have been opened at all). I'm still not sure if I should support PoseManiacs for using an AI company, even an "ethical" one. There's still the broader question of how modelers' and studio photographers' employment will be impacted, the same uncertain boat artists are in.

But since this Pandora's Box is open and we can't send AI generators back to Hell, I believe GP is a good step forward in co-existing with AI generators. I appreciate that they're trying to be ethical about it and I hope they set a good example for the inevitable wave of AI companies.

(Also DO NOT harass Generated Photos or PoseManiacs please. I only linked because there's some interesting info on their site but I'm to tired to talk about that right now).

(And PoseManiacs's new features are pretty fucking rad.)
