AI images, yea or nay?

[deformedvampire]

Hey all.

So, I'm conflicted. I dabbled in AI image gen fairly early, with the sole goal of creating mostly photorealistic images that I'd personally enjoy.

Eventually, the AI generators and I hit a point where *I* thought others might enjoy me spreading my images around. I started sharing them on anime art forums in the hopes others would be able to enjoy my passion (mostly because Deviantart and other Western sites seemed to politcally lean towards anti-AI gen at the time, and also, the tech couldn't really surpass anime or manga).

Anyways, I did fairly well on Pixiv, that is until recently when I shared my newest generations. Having close to perfected my image gen of choice, they decided to ban my account entirely for being TOO photorealistic. The characters were all generic, dreamt up by the randomness of the AI, and the images still weren't even truly real. Yet they banned me for 'violent actions against real looking people' pretty much.

Where do I go from here? Does anybody have suggestions for NSFW forums I can post images? Is it acceptable on FCF? Does anybody even care? I can't even really surmise if my stuff is any good in this day and age. I've got tens of thousands of varying qualities of images that I've bothered to keep.

I think you should be OK on DeviantArt as long as you mark your images as Mature, AI - and what you consider too violent you can put in a subscriber's tier / premium gallery. FCF is good for sharing a few images at a time but you require a gallery etc. for keeping things organized and DA gives you that. If you do decide to come on DA - share your username here so that me and others can follow you. (Don't forget to give FCF a linkback from whatever page you link to on DA though).

Which tool do you use to generate these? I've dabbled with a few but haven't really found one that actually works well enough yet

[Wattenest]

Definitely a Yay. You can try to share on discord as well

Here are some more, let me know what you think. I chose some of varying qualities, I tend to change up the styles when I'm feeling bored or have run out of new ideas.

I've been using NovelAi since image gen was released, it's definitely much much better than it was in the past. You'll notice some of my text getting garbled and other annoying artifacts, but what can you do

I love the images you've made and I use da for the few AI images I have played around with. I labeled them as AI images, I claim mine as NSFW and I have some in realistic mode and some in anime style, and have not had any issues. The struggle that I run into and maybe you know a secret that I don't is trying to get two characters posed in the position that I want. I hope to see more art from you.

Oooh, you've produced some really good AI images already!  Thanks for sharing! 

Have also been experimenting with & fooling around with AI to try & creat catfight & wrestling pics. Here are some that I've created with AI & posted recently in a Poll here:

I enjoyed your AI images.  Varying degrees of realism and I do prefer the near photographic ones best but all are good.  I think for me, I most enjoy the AI or digital art images when accompanied by a story.  It may just be my ineptness at AI images but it seems hard to to do a series of photos using AI depicting the same two characters which I see as the limitation of AI imaging so far.  Am I missing something?  Is it possible to develop "models" in AI that can be used for various poses?

well, debating yay or nay seems to be a bit irrelevant at this point since they are obviously here to stay. But your work do look stunning
