No one called me out, nor did I deny it. I provided the input image which is the majority of the composition. AI did the rest, which is why I called it OC.

You didn’t explain that this was AI until someone mentioned it. Putting that in the title would make you look less of a fraud.

I guess people should say when they use colored pencils too.

People asked he answered honestly how does that make him a fraud.

People do this, though.

It’s common practice to name your piece, then yourself, then the tools used. Example; “Lady looking over water, Me, Oil Paint on canvas.”

How does it make them a fraud? It's no different than a photographer editing a photo or aomeone making a "digital" painting. It's just a different tool. Or are you too young to remember when using a computer to make art was considered cheating and not real art, same went for digitally editing photos.

The good news is that I don't really care. It's a new medium.

Show me in writing where this is a requirement outside of an academic/professional setting. I'm not selling this, no one is going to pay me for it, and I don't care what anyone else wants to do with it. What's the issue?

Why is it not OC? Firstly, I created the base image. Second, the coding is open source. Third, no matter how hard anyone tries they will never be able to reproduce this image utilizing ai generators. Most important of all, I have never referred to myself as an artist, nor do I believe people who fuck around with ai image generators to be artists. It is foolish for people who play with these tools to consider themselves as such. Either way, I use OC in the most basic of contexts because I simply do not care about the semantics of the art world, because I'm not an artist.

It's pretty interesting seeing people in this thread being insecure over AI. I suppose if you base your enjoyment of your personal hobbies, i.e making art, off the updoots you get in reddit it would be pretty scary seeing these. I don't understand the fear, personally. AI can't make human quality work, it just has cool "ideas." But I guess insecurity isn't supposed to be logical. Sorry you guys can't capitalize off your hobbies because you can't compete with a computer program.

Do you consider yourself an artist working in this "new medium"?

You fishing for downvotes on this comment section? You're in the minority if you think AI makes legitimate art. You're an idiot of you think using an AI makes you an artist.

Not fishing for downvotes, I just find it interesting seeing people shook by a pretty run of the mill AI image. There's some comments in here that are so emotional, it makes me feel like maybe they believe AI is going to end their dreams of being a painter or graphic designer. Interesting. Debating legitimacy of art is also interesting. I would say thinking you or I can decide what is legitimate art, what is inspiring, is a lot more dangerous thinking than someone enjoying looking at a computer program's little fake skull sculpture. But I guess I'm an idiot so it doesn't matter what I think.

"OC", when used on reddit, means that you made it.

You did not make this.

Edit: I've been screaming into the void about how dumb reddit has gotten over the past few years. Sadly, the karma of my comment, as well as the lone incorrect reply, stand as testaments to this trend. But the "controversial dagger" gives me at least a little hope that not all is lost. Yet.

No, it means that this is the original posting of the content. You can post oc on behalf of other people.
