Last time I minted I had to pay over $100 to do so. A lot has changed since then.

I'm happy to present my new piece "Encounter" based on a real encounter of mine.

I'd be happy to share the long version too!

@SaireOfLight @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Nah you just keep repeating the same thing. I feel like talking to a wall. Happy you have an opinion but let's end this conversation. It's not going anywhere. Hope this bullshit get's resolved and everyone is happy in the end.

@SaireOfLight @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Bruh.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss Not all artists feel threatened by this because we understand that the field will evolve. This tech is here to stay, and although there are weird ethical issues right now, that won’t be the case in a few years.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@SaireOfLight @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss I creates an image from noise based on a machine learning algorithm that can understand what certain concepts and styles mean. It doesn’t bash images.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@pumkinpatchwork @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Obviously, but what I’m saying is that it’s already here. You can’t unmake it. We can only concern ourselves with the ethical aspects - what is okay and what isn’t. What we can’t do is delete it from the internet - it seems like that’s what most illustrators want.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Vee_Shadow @JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss That’s one use case scenario. It opens other doors for photoshop artist, animators and 3d artists though.

Using photoshop and AI you basically have endless possibilities. Same way you create collage art, except now you have even more control over the source materials.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@mudbuckling @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Not sure what you understand by stopping. The tech is here and it is widely available. No amount of complaining on the internet will make it disappear.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss As I said I know plenty of artists who don’t feel threatened by AI, including myself. Just because I don’t agree with your views doesn’t mean I don’t respect “real artists”

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Our demand for produce gave birth to factories which gave birth to the "factory worker" job. A machine was then made to emulate that job. Obviously, they didn't feed the people to the machine the same way art is fed to the AI - but the idea is the same.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss I agree that we need to figure out the ethics surrounding this whole AI thing. I respect that. But the way that it is done is just so polarizing. Instead of talking about ethics, most "endangered" artists just want to outright bury AI. It's just not going to happen.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss I just don't think this harms any "real artists"
Case closed.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss And yes, certainly. Low-budget clients with no vision that need an illustrator to follow their instructions will certainly prefer a tool that does exactly that. High quality projects that require an artists vision will always be a job for a "real artist"

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss I mean last time I checked art is a tough field to be in. Most artists I know aren't full-time artists, but rather create art in their free time. That's my case too, I'm a graphic designer and I create art as a form of self-expression. Being a full-time artist just became harder.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss I don't feel like taking sides. I chose to accept what's happening and to look for the positives in the whole situation. I respect "real art" but that doesn't mean I have to hate "ai art"

Cup half full is where I'm at.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss I bet people in factories cried the same way during the industrial revolution. But look at us now, we adapted and life went on. Yes, jobs were lost, but new ones were created. The creative field is undergoing a similar change.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@JoeEngland6 @Dungeon_MGR @tferriss Although you're correct, my example still stands. It is what it is man. The technology is here, it's been developed and it's widely available for free. Nothing can change that.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss But this is getting absolutely pointless. Cup is half full to me. You guys can enjoy the empty side of the cup as much as you want.

[Sight Delight | Georgi Georgiev @sightdelight]

@Dungeon_MGR @JoeEngland6 @tferriss Small-budget projects that can't afford an illustrator now have an option at least. In the past, some small illustrators could've gotten a gig like this but now the small budget would go into improving another aspect of the project.
