Do AI prompt "artists" get angry when other people steal their prompts?

[–] sinadia@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I recall a twitter thread that went around a while ago that had some Sloperator all pissed off because someone ‘stole’ his prompt, and that person’s Computer Rendered Artificial Picture got way more likes.

So, yes, the Sloperators get quite mad when someone uses the same prompt.

Sloperators

I've been calling them sloppies

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Outdated reference: Makin' sloppies!

Timeless reference: Fuck Rob Schneider

They actually do. I've seen this on AI chat bot sites. People won't allow people to read the prompt/personality of the bot because they get all butt hurt when someone just copys and pastes their "work" it's really cringe because it's a basic llm. It's not some flagship model or anything like that. It doesn't care, at all.

They absolutely do and they have feuds about it, funniest shit ever. "That thief thieved my plan for thieving!"

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Some do, some don't

Yes. They think ideas are what making the art, not the implementation. That's also part why they think artists are "full of themselves": Many of them talk about them having great "world changing" ideas for art, but they're always stuff like "what if GTA was set in [insert real life city here]", or "can you hack [popular FPS] to have VR support?".

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, it would be funny if it weren't so sad.

I'm a software dev. There's this colleague who can't do shit without AI. The thing is that whenever Claude asks a question, he selects the "Recommended" answer reading neither the question nor the answer. It makes my blood boil.

Well, he thinks he's a developer

U hiring 😋 ?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

JESUS, just full brain off slop consumption. Terrifying.

[–] Cjwi@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Hey I write prompts for ai to write prompts that create art so I'm basically an art professor over here teaching new artists.

[–] laz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But but con artists were always artists though

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Namely the ones you hardly hear of.

Lol imagine not only lacking the shame to bring one of those out in public but then going to your sex doll gathering and realizing you have one of the shitty models whose heads look kinda like paper mache.

I wonder if the two guys that look like they have the same model get angry at each other about it.

I also wonder how much overlap there is in the venn diagram of people who end up resorting to getting a sex doll and people capable of keeping them maintained so they don't become biohazards.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

Oh you mean those people that instruct an ai computer to draw pictures for them?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Obviously they're not artists. 🙄

They're prompt engineers. It's highly complex, hard science shit.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 2 points 1 week ago

They're not artists because nobody can play the guitar!

i wonder what the cultural vibe is in countries that view art with reverence.

people in america aren't looking at the bigger picture--this country has NEVER cared about art or artists.

is jazz on pop radio? does your average american give a shit about impressionism or even know what the fuck it is?

so, why would they care about the average novelist? does your typical american even fucking read?

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

does your typical american even fucking read?

I have a feeling I would be very angry at this, if I could finish sounding out the letters!

(Edit: Bobby, stop that! lol.)

i'm a painter who doesn't paint. i'm a writer who doesn't write.

what do you actually do, says the skeptic.

i'm a prompt artisan, says the creator of this 'art.'

so, you just type text into a box?

yes.

but when i type artist into google it spits me back this definition: "a person who creates art, such as painting, writing, music, or sculpture, using conscious skill and creative imagination.' you aren't creating anything--the AI is the creator. at best, you're just influencing what they create with words.

whatever.

so, if i fuck an artist and tell him that his song would be better in B minor, then i'm a creator?

whatever.

I'm slowly finding uses for ai and I dont like it :( It's helping me navigate linux and troubleshoot game or pc crashes

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All things that could have been easily looked up before google borked itself.

Occasionally I grudgingly think maybe there might be some limited use for ai, and then the ai I can't turn off at my job will attempt to proof a document about fire safety and really confidently want the word 'exciting' instead of 'exiting' in regards to stairwells and fire emergencies. It also wants staff to congratulate outside a burning building rather than congregate—which, fair.

the whole thing is stupid. you just prompt the ai to rephrase your shit-prompt so something whoa-ai and that's it...
