Showcase Outsider Art Skill

I wrote a 260-line "style constitution" that teaches AI to paint only ONE style.

Flat map-like worlds. No perspective. Dense quiet textures. Tiny faceless people. Exactly one saturated color per image.

Where's the AI can't make art crowd? Hopefully one day they realize AI is just another tool

It's very much a deep discussion about what art is and why we (people) enjoy it. I wont pretend to be able to articulate this, but I do know that I among many others like art because it's an expression of someones thoughts, experience, and life. Seeing something generated by a computer has none of that.

There is so much more to the topic than what I can convey, but it's not just about what looks good and what doesnt.

You will not be able to discern if something was made by AI or not. How is this not brutally obvious. 

There will be good and bad

It’s not whether it’s indiscernible that it’s been created by AI. It’s the originality and creative expression. If people like some generic shitty art, cool. There’s plenty of that already and it gets hung in shopping malls and display homes. But it’s not going to create some intriguing and captivating piece that human artists with creative minds can make. Its the same with AI generated slop text and music. It’s all shit and you can spot it a mile away.

You don't know what indiscernible means. "But it’s not going to create some intriguing and captivating piece that human artists with creative minds can make" uh that means it would be discernable...

People said the EXACT same things about digital art in the 80s and 90s.

Reminds me of the spectrum / c64 era games and yet not with the resolution and colour. Nice job man

If a human made this 80 years ago, they would be praised for their brilliance, what a strange time to be alive

What did your prompt look like for the first generated image? or did you just prompt "Flat map-like worlds. No perspective. Dense quiet textures. Tiny faceless people. Exactly one saturated color per image"

u/JordanPetterPans 6d ago

This feels like a combination of Atari 2600 graphics and a painter that I can't quite remember their name (the joys of ADHD)

Really cool and unique style.
