@LNER are you willing to cover a taxi for 2 of your passengers stuck in Edinburgh to get to Newcastle? £400 approx?

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@LNER stranded in Edinburgh due to a power outage. Will @LNER reimburse a taxi to Newcastle? Or do we need to hold for further updates?

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@LNER @gbmthcross Will @LNER cover taxis? From Edinburgh to Newcastle?

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@GoblinWeenog @ajsupahiya @DarekZabrocki Mate AI is very limited in terms of creativity, it tricks you into thinking you made something cool. When really, you had an idea and a computer gave you a cool but flawed image that was close enough to make you happy. That is not human expression.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@ajsupahiya @DarekZabrocki We will not be the last generation of artists. It's part of the human experience, creating art is never going away. AI will have a massive impact on the commercial side yes. But it won't stop people learning to make art.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@danielwarren86 Honestly I just think AI images are a totally different thing. I think anyone who gets into making them will soon realise prompting isn't enough, there's just so many different conversations to be had around the technology.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@DaveRapoza At minimum I'd like all AI created images to have an AI signature so people know what they are looking at.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@sleeves_junii @juliedillon Someone who would say that simply doesn't understand what it's like to have art as a passion.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@danielwarren86 Or just everyone use AI to generate Micky mouse images and flood the internet with them.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@MettoolMan @AxelCas1378 @T1kosewad @oimo_0imo Scarey isn't it. Who knows? the collapse of capitalism. But one thing I'm certain of is there will always be artists. It's in our blood, doesn't matter what AI can make.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@shitpostwoolag @AxelCas1378 @T1kosewad @oimo_0imo I disagree, it will be used in production. But certainly not as final work. Artists will always have a place. AI can make some cool images, and it's fun to play with. But art is a lifelong persuit and it's fueled by real passion to understand the world. They can't replace that.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@nivekretsof @andrewpprice I'd say hand made stuff by professionals is always better than machine made stuff. Machines just do it faster and cheaper.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@andrewpprice The original stand on art station was against AI flooding art station (to keep the site a place for clients to find professional artists). Not against AI art in general. ( But things get confused in the mass voice of the internet.)

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@Fluidfox1 @Sakura_Rabbiter It's because art station is used by employers to find artists for their projects. If the site does not facilitate that connection between an artist and client it's pointless being on it. If it's flooded with AI art artstation is done really.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@TaraSolbrig @wokuspokuspoo @Sakura_Rabbiter "AI artists" have no legal recourse for someone selling copies of their entire galleries. Because they technically never created the work.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@SenySen_ofc @CodeIcant @Sakura_Rabbiter It could genuinely corrupt it's self from eating its own images.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

Genuine question, what stops anyone using or selling someone else's #AIart, because good luck trying to prove you created those images. Meaning companies can probably steal them for free? The way I see it the merky water goes both ways?

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@maltedmilkshaky @AutoGiraffe @MegZavala Because being an artist is a lifelong personal journey. Wether it's your job or your hobby. For me it doesn't really matter what AI can do. There was already a million artists that can put my work to shame. Art for me runs deeper than that.

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@Phandy_Porter This is beautiful work though!

[James Eskdale @Fri94]

@conor_draws So good! Love the idea with the wasp.
