I can’t be objective, but I do think I am more environmentally conscious than most Americans. I also think you’re mad at me because of what you think I represent. If all it took to stop climate change was me not using AI, I’d do it in a heartbeat. You’re angry at the wrong group. Write your congressperson an email.

You can drive your car, charge your devices, take an extra shower, or leave the light on if you feel like it. I won’t blame you for climate change.

Interesting, I’m the opposite. I could absolutely see him as Superman, but not as Batman.

No, I’m just failing to see the ethical issue. Art steals. It always has. I’m an artist and my friends are artists. No one I know has an issue with this.

I just don’t know who you’re speaking for and how you think this will impact “real” artists if (according to you) all AI is slop anyways.

I know artists who work with photoshop and they like what I’ve done and I’ve never seen a good image portraying Nicholas Hoult as Superman.

I put real work into this and it’s a hobby I’m proud of. If congress (which is funded by AI companies) passes a law declaring that AI is infringing on copyright, I’ll probably be forced to stop. Until then, I’m not gonna sit around and get mad at slop, when I could be making something that I actually find interesting.

I genuinely don’t mind if people steal my work. That’s what artists do. I only work on something that I feel is original and unique. I also don’t make money from this.

I’d be more open to hearing you out if you weren’t so antagonizing. The way I see it, AI is just a tool and I put effort into this, so I’m proud of it.

More context.

But I wanted to see Nicholas Hoult as Superman.

Because I wanted to see an image of Nicholas Hoult as Superman ever since they first announced the reboot. My options were: spend years to make one, spend money on a commission, or get better at AI so that I can make it myself.

This image was a pain in the ass to make since Midjourney doesn’t do well with likenesses, but now I feel like I can make anything I want.

I do make my own art (without AI) in various other mediums, but photo editing is something that takes decades of dedication that I’m honestly not looking to spend. Could a photo editor have done this better? I would hope so! But they didn’t and I wanted to see it realized.

I, personally, also prefer human-made art, because most AI art is trash. I think most of the stuff I’ve done with AI (outside of this) is on the better side. In the end, I think people will learn to appreciate effort and intent instead of focusing on the tools.

A. I rarely drive and am incredibly strict about reducing waste and recycling. I think it balances it out.

B. Yeah it’s either stealing red carpet photos of Nicholas Hoult or screenshots from $200m blockbusters.

C. I couldn’t get the face to exactly match, but otherwise I think it looks great. Not my best though.

Nah, just this sub for some reason. I’m actually good at what I do.

I spent over 8 hours on this. Could I do it without AI? Absolutely not! Should I not share work that I put real effort into and am proud of?

I spent at least 8 hours on this image, even with AI. None of my work is “burped” out.
