Patreon work. Large images (extremely large images reduced.) png to jpg

I sincerely miss the days before AI generated imagery existed. Where each image you'd see would keep consistency with the next, or if standalone, would at least exude a distinctness of purpose & intent that is sorely lacking in the deluge of mass produced images of AI imagery.

It's just depressing honestly, even many natural artists have started to rely/lean on AI generation. Either reducing their quality as a result, or simply hindering themselves from improving as artists; imagine just how many potentially great artists we'll never see become actual artists as a direct result of this technology simply existing? It's a crutch, a half-assed shortcut, not a real tool in an artists' tool belt.

Well, even as the poster of a lot of AI made images, I do have some sympathy with what you say. But I believe you overvalue the "good old days" and what we saw there. I remember page after page of images as indistinguishable as a sheet of postage stamps. And so much low quality. Here's an example:

This gets a 4-star rating. Why? Yes, you get tedious repetition in AI images, but you often get great variety. Right now it can't assist narrative production, but I predict it soon will. Photography did not kill paints and brushes, it was just a new art form. I suspect AI images will eventually be seen in that light.
