That's an awesome question, and I wrote a thread addressing this a few months ago. The tl:dr is that I'm a left-wing jewish woman and I've been using the handle since before the alt-right glommed onto the term!
@KaliYuga_ai
May I ask why your name is Kali Yuga? My understanding is that this is an alt right racist trope ( entirely from Ryder rips and Bayc drama).. genuinely just curious what it means to you?

Ok! By popular demand I forked the DreamBooth notebook I use to have SD V2 enabled, and I wrote a guide to go along with it! I hope folks find this useful and fun!

It's going to be really interesting to see, once AI art is no longer the cool thing to hate and it's been more or less integrated into diverse artistic workflows, who apologizes for the current bullying and harassment AI artists are facing and who pretends they never did wrong.

This is WILD. My

model for

items is only finetuned on weapons but due to the way I structured it (you prompt with "sword: [sword description]", "gun: [gun description]", etc), I just discovered it can do *totally* unrelated categories of thing, too. 🧵

TW for violence/murder/hate/suicide. Over the last few weeks, and especially within the last few days, there's been an upswing in extremely violent rhetoric directed at the AI art community, and I find it very concerning. 👇

The new, insanely powerful inpainting and outpainting tools in
@DreamStudioAI
are here!
They're super simple to use; you can imagine (and re-imagine, and re-re-imagine!) your input images in just a few clicks.
Here's a quick overview of how to access and use them 👇

"AI art is instant. You just click a button and make art."
Sure, the *execution* is super fast, but that's like saying fine art photography is instant/just clicking a button. You see the end result, not the hours of work that goes into having something *worth* capturing.

Reiterating something I said earlier: AI art isn't purely AI-driven, and the *best* AI art (in my opinion) comes from humans who know how to work with the AI via prompts and settings to create something really unique. The human is still an *indispensable* part of the equation.

Asking ChatGPT for a better term for "ai art," and it's giving me some fun ones. I don't think any of these are *it*, but:
1) Neuroaestheticism
2) Synthetica
3) Neuromorphic Art

I enjoy people who use the term "ai art bros," like you do realize that some of the most influential figures in this movement are women and nb folks, right?
I don't appreciate being erased for the sake of people building an unfair and untrue narrative about who does AI art/why.

Just for the record, I think we can push back against anti-ai folks without bashing their art/talent. It’s kind of mean and we’re better than that. Doing art in public takes bravery, and I respect that.

I keep seeing so many people misunderstanding ai art models as collage machines in one breath and then in the next breath being like “it can’t even do hands!” Like if AI actually worked by collaging together pieces of existing art, it could most certainly “do hands,” my guys.

"Prompting isn't a skill. Give me your prompt and I can make your art."
I've gotten this kind of comment a lot, and it's obviously a non-argument, but I want to push back on it from a different direction than I usually do. I want to push back from the world of metal-casting. 🧵

I see the whole "ai artists are just lazy fucks who don't bother to take the time to learn how to do REAL ART" as a sort of willful ignorance. Anyone thinking about it should realize that lifelong artists have always been among the earliest adopters of new art tech.

I say this as a traditional artist with 20+ years of experience: there is no AI art without human intentionality behind said art. The AI art space is *intensely* collaborative/connective. If it wasn't, literally none of the tools created in the last few years would exist.
The more I think about AI art, the more it hurts my heart. Why are some people so keen to remove collaboration, connectivity, meaning and humanity from the creative process?

I’ve seen folks get thousands of likes and retweets on posts like “the best way to kill ai art is to feed it lots of [insert shocking/copyrighted thing here],” which shows either a misunderstanding of how diffusion models work or how end-user use =/= what’s in the base model.

Man, I’ve been so busy helping to make the best art tools in human history that I haven’t actually, like, made art with those tools in a hot second. Since it’s a federal holiday in the US, I’m gonna use some of my time off to do some creating :)

AI artists who say dumb stuff about ai art inherently being superior to trad art might think they’re being clever, but they’re actually making things worse, AND they risk alienating the trad artists who founded the entire movement. You’re not helping anyone with that crap.

This is the most bad-faith, poorly-researched take I’ve seen recently. Ai isn’t collage, but that picture you put together in ms paint on the right certainly is. At least engage critically with stuff you disagree with ffs

Lukewarm art philosophy take: If the only time you ever reference the idea of "soul" in a piece of art is to note the "lack" of it in someone else's art, perhaps you don't actually care about "soul" and are instead looking for a quick way to dismiss something that frightens you.

“I really loved this but then I found out it was ai art and now I can see how soulless it is”
“Soul” is an empty term whose “absence” is used to denigrate other people and whose presence is only ever discussed in reference to its purported absence.
It is not an actual quality
