AI generated images have become controversial.
Many artists are rightly afraid of competition from the new technology.
And it's frighteningly easy to copy someone else's style.
In addition, it is believed that the AI companies' data collection is theft.
Technically, it probably isn't, because neural networks work in a similar way to a brain. Artists, as you know, imitate each other. But this technology did not exist when the current laws were enacted. So it is probably fair to change the legislation so that consent is needed to use images online for machine learning.
Can AI make art then? Yes, if a stolen urinal can be art, then AI generated images can also be art.
Drawing or painting can be a very relaxing or even meditative activity. There is nothing that prevents you from continuing with it, but it will probably be more difficult to get reasonable payment for it.
I personally want to test the technology and try to keep up with the development.
Hope no one takes too much offense from these pictures. Not because they are dirty but because they are AI generated.
AI images become often very wrong. They can look like something out of a John Carpenter movie. My experience so far is that once you learn how to write good prompts, it's relatively easy to get pictures that look good. But it's still difficult to get poses and composition the way you want them. The solution is to make lots of images and select one or a few as input for more images. Then you should edit the images in PS. Remove redundant fingers and other errors. If you have several similar images, you can also take parts of different images and recompose them in PS.
I use Stable Diffusion on my own computer. It's free and uncensored and there are tons of plugins (Checkpoints and Loras) that make it easier to get the images the way you want them.
In my opinion, the image's surface, textures and lighting are usually much better than in 3d. At least if you want them pseudo photorealistic like I want. It is possible to use AI as an additional rendering for 3D images.
There will also be programs where you can do the same thing with film. Text to speech programs with AI are getting so good that I'm considering using them in my movies. Although now it will be difficult to have time to learn everything.
First a self-portrait.
Another goat.
Light and texture turned out well on this one.
Introduction to the breeding act.
This one got pretty talented down there.

A bad dragon.
Drows are hot.
This one was unusually successful.
A drow goddess.
Moonlight. (moonshine?)
An elf woman.
A gnoll warrior.
Puppy making.
A romantic couple.
A goblin.
A horny minotaur.
Minotaur with his cow.
Minotaur in armor.
A flying monkey.
An Ogre.
Here I made two pictures. One with two Shasira and one with two Rurika.
Then I joined two parts in PS.
Rurika, as usual pregnant.
To make Shasira in 3D, I modified a Poser model representing the virtual
First pregnancy.
Twelfth pregnancy.
It's hard to get the right "time period" on the pictures.
Anachronisms creep in here and there.
Shasira is waiting to be conceived.
Shasira with a different style (different model).
Tentacle pit.
Hentai tentacles.
More tentacles.
A werewolf.
This can be used as a texture in 3d.
