With The Help Of AI, This Artist Reimagined 61 Pop Culture Characters As Adorable Babies
More and more people use AI as a tool to create art. But that has faced a lot of backlash, as if AI art is not art. However, if you have ever tried using AI tools yourself, you will notice that it is not as simple to get desirable results as maybe most people think.
One AI artist, Topher Welsh, who creates baby versions of popular characters such as Disney princesses, characters from Marvel, The Matrix, Friends, and others, has shared his opinion on how he sees all this hatred towards AI art: "The backlash against AI art is understandable but really shouldn't be a thing. Most of the backlash comes from a lack of understanding of its use and how it works, or they see it as a threat to job security for artists. Every generation has a new set of tools that can replace older models. For instance, photography had backlash from landscape painters, and digital painting received backlash from photographers and traditional artists alike."
So, Pandas, what are your thoughts on this topic, and have you tried making AI art? Let us know in the comments below.

I see AI is struggling with her magical ice summoning hands :)
Apparently all hands. Jeez so many of these have f****d up hands

Freckles, or pits. Those freckles look like the trypophobia ads.
Ai can't seem to figure out that the common denominator for human digits is 10.
Neville Longbottom From Harry Potter
AI generally has problems creating hands and matching pairs of eyes. The artist obviously fixed the eyes, but ignored the mangled hands in most of these...

Looks like defeating AIs is just his thing, he won the battle over the correct amount of fingers

Velma From Scooby-Doo
She's holding somebody's fingers in her left hand!! Her right hand is completely deformed.

Luckily she's wearing gloves otherwise the hands in this post just killed it for me. Scary
But even with gloves she still has an inordinately large number of fingers
Jasmin From Aladdin
That's the Genie. Not a hot lamp! But for some reason AI thinks we have an extra 5th finger?

Well her hands are on fire so at least you can't see how many extra fingers she has
Ariel From The Little Mermaid
Right? It looks like there are ten fingers on each hand!
Load More Replies...Great work on all the pictures but the hands. Wow need to fix that
I'm done with these grotesque hands!! Going to flip through the rest really quickly and then go try to figure out how to erase these images from my brain!
Okay she has a huge number of extra digits and no legs. My advice to the artist is to crop the photo so the hands are excluded and yeah any other weird anatomy
Phoebe From Friends
She looks like on of the kids the Babysitters Club would babysit
I have a sister named Phoebe who looked exactly like this when she was young...... except for the hands!!!!

Because the source pictures are so inconsistent with how they are arranged, people move their fingers around all the time, so even between consecutive shots they likely shift a bit. If you're using stacks of pictures of different people you're going to see that many ways that fingers might be arranged.

Please stop feeding the AI-generated image trend. It is so damaging to artists and their art. This is not good or enjoyable content.
I beg to differ, personally I love seeing the funny results of ai
Load More Replies...Sooooo..... AI are not that bright after all.... dont even know how many fingers human normally have..
We made sure to make them have more fingers so people feel like they have to call it out which was a strategy to make the content go viral. https://capondesign.medium.com/going-viral-with-ai-on-instagram-44705baf3f6c

The AI "Artist" is free to let us know what repository of images the AI trained on, and whether any of those were given explicit permission to train on said images. That being said, photographers don't call themselves painters, yet AI artists call themselves artists. Both also still require skills, so their comparison is dumb.
I liked all the art some were really good but there was so many people winging about the fingers like the rest was amazing could you just shut the f*ck up?
AI art so-called art should not be allowed in any kind of competition because it's just stealing other people's art and photography and mashing it together.
