AI artwork

Once upon a time, the field of lazy illustration "artwork" was just something done by real human beans, mostly on Tumblr, DeviantART and other awful semi-containment sites. In mid-2022, after IRL Skynet sentience came about by the means of Artificial Intelligence and it's Machine Learning, programs such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and several others went viral online for being able to generate on-demand shitty "artwork". This is a problematic challenge for "career artists", and the entire field of artwork creation is currently (and maybe rightfully so) terrified.

Various AI Artwork Sites and programs

Midjourney is an AI algorithm that is able to create bad art from text-description prompts.
Stable Diffusion - created by the team at Stability AI it can do the same thing as Midjourney but also can use base images as prompts. Mostly just used for anime rule 34.
DALL-E 2 is another text-to-generation AI model that is often used. DALL-E is created by the nerds on the OpenAI team.

AI-created Rule 34

It goes without saying that if you give the interwebs' ~~netizens~~ DENIZENS any kind of web-generator app, that it eventually will be used maliciously, in this case it didn't take long for the web to start abusing the programs to create Eros-type art.
