I have been a little while on this board in late 2022 and early 2023 and then left, so I am back here to ask, do you guys still make money or something? How are commissions? In my experience they fixed the hands in mid 2023 and then the image gen stayed pretty much perfect but stagnant to this day. When I go online I can still tell AI image from something someone drew, not photos most of the time, but drawings I can, and most NSFW sites have added already AI filter, so I guess thats something.

So how dead is art actually?

Trad artist here. My earnings are fine.
Also, fuck you for making demoralization threads.

hands are only fixed for common poses. if you have a request that is a little out there it screws up.

>they fixed the hands in mid 2023
Eh, it's more consistent, but I wouldn't say they fixed the issue.
>image gen stayed pretty much perfect but stagnant to this day.
That's been my argument from the beginning. I don't think it's getting better, but it's branching out, to things like video and such. Hopefully they'll make some actually interesting tools with it, and not just more bullshit.
>I can still tell AI image from something someone drew, not photos most of the time, but drawings I can.
That's true. Funnily enough, it seems to have gotten even worse with drawings ever since that whole ghibli meme thing. Everything now has either an awkward semi ghibli-esque look it it, or that stiff stockart/webcomic look to it.
I'm sure it can make cool images, but you don't see it often.

>So how dead is art actually?
Well, art will be fine even if the commercial/business side dies, however I've heard multiple times that AI hasn't actually made a discernible impact on any area of the workforce (arts included) - there are outliers where dipshit employers fired everyone over the AI hype, but average businesses haven't seen the reason to do that.
However, we then hear many doom and gloom statistics about how destroyed the job market is because of AI, so... which is it?
Personally I don't think it's made much impact, and if it's going to, it's a slow cook.

Thats the default ChatGPT artstyle, people are too lazy to even prompt

>>7616603
Prompters being lazy!? This is incredibly shocking!

check the ai-assisted tag on danbooru

>>7616611
What about it? Danbooru is either dead or nobody making AI slop wants to post there. It only has 10k AI generated posts and 5k AI assisted posts, meanwhile dark skin has 300k. Very surprising that there is next to no AI slop there.

coping luddite being a disingenuous retard? wowza that's le shocking

>>7616617
Prompt yourself some thicker skin, buddy.

AIfags are getting tiring to see any moment they show up.
Niggas already made 2 threads not even an hr apart and are already calling people luddites
