This is quite accurate to the town I grew up in down around south central Vermont. I present to you Brownsville

Edit: to add, there is a brook that runs through town at the base of the mountain.

Well is it thinking or is it looking at every image of Vermont and then making a new one out of that?

Not enough churches.

Like for the most secular state how TF did we end up with every ville, hollow and hamlet having at least 2?

I love how it is simultaneously picturesque, quaint, calm, and bucolic and yet also has undertones of dread, apocalypse, and stagnant growth lol.

Or stores...or garages....or grange halls...or houses.

I know two old steeple-d churches that are now private residences, one that is a grocery store, and one that is a garage. I'm sure there are other uses as well.

Well I went there the morning I was getting married and just walked around for an hr or so in the morning. Thankfully it was very quiet, and what seemed like a couple of locals saying Hi as I passed by.

Other times though it is more like you described 😂

Ahhh that makes more sense.

Pretty sure #1 is AI picking up on the Monitor barn quite a bit, and #3 is the sleepy hollow farm that everyone takes pictures of to photoshop like crazy. AI just made them slightly less noticeable lol

Your theory is exactly how these art ai work. They pull art from other sources and smoosh them together into a new images

That’s part of the reason why AI art can be bad: it can steal faces, paintings, photos that don’t belong to it and make something new from those things.

AllyEmmie t1_j25ueqe wrote

Replying to 5teerPike (#1,149,811)

It’s almost always theft. An AI can only be programmed to the limits of the human mind. It’s much easier for the AI to cobble an image together (stealing) than it is to code the AI to make something completely original and new.

Replying to inelasticplastick (#1,149,068)

You can’t “make art yourself” through AI. The AI stole images off of the internet that belonged to an actual artist, and then made a new image with it. Any prompt created through AI isn’t your art. It’s stolen material.

AllyEmmie t1_j25vcnl wrote

AI art isn’t real art, it’s theft.

As cool as AI art is, it would be more beneficial to everyone if you hired an actual living breathing artist to paint or draw this prompt for you.

I hope this sub does the right thing and bans the use of AI.

I absolutely believe it's a tool and its value is undermined by grifters & theft. We should do our due diligence to call that out, and not waste time arguing over the subjectivity of what is or isn't art

If it has access to every image on the internet from a free or for sale page to the entire library of Congress, I don't think it's inherently a tool of thievery.

I also cobble images together with images I didn't make. It's called a collage.

Theoretically that'll get sorted out when people start trying to sell these (good luck with that, btw). Like sampling in music. You can do it if you're creating something new, but you have to pay the creator.

So I have a question and hope it won’t offend anyone, my husband and I and our kids have been vacationing in VT, NH and Maine for many years, my husband as a child would visit with his parents, few months ago we bought a second home here in VT the people we encounter with seem very nice always friendly, very welcoming but it seem when I come to this group almost feel like we are nuisance, and vermonters would rather us not be here. We don’t live for free here we pay bills and we pay our taxes we don’t take jobs away from VT people, we hire local people to do work in our home. Again never met anyone that hasn’t been kind and friendly.

" We don’t live for free here "

You really dont belong here, that kind of thinking is welcomed in TX, AL, or FL. We try to take care of our people up here whether the private sector has a use for them or not.

i wasn’t asking my question rhetorically

i view paper and pencil as analagous as art-making tools

my understanding of the law regarding art reproduction seems to be different than u. i guess ais alter images prior to delivery. if that’s the case, assuming the amount of alteration is sufficient, i don’t see any infringement

Replying to AllyEmmie (#1,159,313)

Dunno why you're being downvoted, you're right. The programs have been found to use images of working artists without consent to make "art", and it is problematic until protections are put into place to give rights back to the creative industry.

Although it seems harmless, it's hurting a lot of small artists trying to make extra income.

"bought a second home here"

See, that right there is part of the issue. As another commenter rightfully pointed out, there is a shortage of workers here and so people from out of state may need to move here to work, but you're not contributing to fixing that issue. You're just taking away a home that a local person could have bought for themselves and their family and it's not even a house you need. I know people that have put off buying their first house for up to 3 years at this point because there's just not enough available for a reasonable price, because all of the potential options are being bought by out-of-staters for over-market prices, and these are people whose families have lived here for generations but are now being forced out of state due to a lack of housing.

Of course we're not going to run you out of town with torches and pitchforks. Vermont as a whole prides itself in caring for the people within our boundaries. But you're only hurting our situation, not helping it.

If a human being makes art, and then posts it on the internet, with their brand or signature attached, and then a human-made AI STEALS THAT ART, so YOU can make art WITH THE AI, then that should be illegal

I don't know why you're saying what you're saying. AI is BAD.

Copyright is a law. And if an artist makes something by their own hand, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO TAKE IT, AND CLAIM IT AS YOURS.

YOU can't do that. And an AI shouldn't be allowed to do that either.

AI takes ORIGINAL art pieces, mashes them together, and gives you the result of the prompt you typed in. It's highly grey, lawfully.
