AI generated art

As a painter, of the midnight oil, paint and linseed variety, I have joined quite a few online art groups. On many of them there is absolutely no filtering out of AI postings. People comment "that's amazing" or "you're so talented" when it is obvious that the image poster just put in a few keywords. It is nauseating to behold.
It's like a kid pressing the 'demo' tunes on a keyboard pretending to play and its fawning parents saying, "He is so good".
I have no objection to the existence of 'labeled' AI products. In fact I think it is inevitable. That genie ain't going back in the bottle.

Just don't pretend you effin' painted it! Either by claim or, sly, by omission.

I see lots of such images posted in photography groups on Facebook and tagged as bestnaturephotopgraphy and such, and some comments are like, oh wow that's an amazing photo, such a talent.
Ahhhhh
 
edit: I cant be arsed with complaining about, now ubiquitous, AI art any more. Though I may write a story about it and it's consequences.

FREE site -- banner ad supported (not very intrusive) Stable Diffusion based. This site has "Styles" that add to both the prompt and the negative prompt. There is also "No Style" -- check the pull down. On an image look for the little "i" in the top left corner for the full prompt. This can include the seed. Bottom left allows you to download the image. Unlimited images. Warning - non-PG images are permitted - but the gallery automatically separates them and so you must select to view them. Perchance has dozens of these generators. I chose this specific generator since there was no public activity on it at the time of this post of SFF Chron. Maybe I'll see you there.

I have put in the gallery a series of "A transparent sculpture of a duck made out of glass" in various art styles.

Don't know if it picked up on pkd... or Foss really. Colourful. . .

Here is the same prompt in Stable Diffusion -- First go. (actually removed a space)

Had another stab having found a more complex prompt in an article. Didn't get their result so modded it, mostly adding details to correct errors.

Prompt: A young beautiful girl wearing a necklace, earrings and a hat, pastel, rounded lips, shaped eyebrows, interesting eyes, slightly smiling. Modern. Photorealistic image, sharp focus, cinematic. Photograph using 50mm lens at f/4 and ISO 100:

"SFF Chronicles" put into Midjourney. I definitely think Chrons should be re-named Shal Fnacles!

I was really happy to find the muzzy thing. It's absolutely free. Generally pretty fast. And has pretty good results. Wordsmithing has become a thing.
Also I found that the "Negative Prompt" matters. You'll see that I have wordsmithed the neg prompt I use in a way that I use it for most attempts.

I noticed after a while, I started to get more options in extra drop-down menus (things like genre…western, horror, etc) and also extra options fir effects like tilt-shift but the next time I visited they were gone and I can’t seem to find how to get them back. Also, I learned that bracketing words tells the AI to put more emphasis on that word.

There are a few things to know:
1. You need to hit generate a couple times before all the features come up. Somewhere there is a notice that that exists to stop spam bots.
2. This uses Stable Diffusion. So you can go to Stable Diffusion sites for all of the grammar -
3. using (word) () increases the emphasis theoretically by 1/10. AND you can increase the emphasis more by using (word:1.3) To emphasize the word or phrase to 1.3. You'll find that you'll start to get problems after 1.5 or so.
4. You can use [word] to de-emphasize --- but the input for negative prompt seem to work much better.

5. click on images in the gallery to see the entire prompt / negative prompt to see examples of phrasing.
6. If you create a particularly good image click on the heart in the lower left corner and post it to the public gallery for all to see and learn from.

enjoy
 
Once you start tinkering around, it's difficult to stop. If only I could really paint like this.
