General Manga writer discussions / An Unfortunate Topic About AI and Writing And Art

« on: April 16, 2024, 07:03:21 PM »

I need your honest opinions on this, but please don't judge me too much (Believe me I'm doing the same and struggling with the same)

With the advent of ChatGP and other artificial intelligence programs, where are you on the creative fence? Do you accept them? Do you reject them?

I just discovered I could finish my plan to write 1,000 flash fictions and publish them as a book much quicker by giving them a prompt and it writes a whole damn story for you.

Disgusting feeling, but with a few tweaks and turns I could turn it into some of my own. In fact, sometimes the results of my prompts are better than my efforts.

This is an uncomforteable feeling on the level of learning art by tracing, multiplied by a few factors

How do you feel about artifically created art? Are you ready for its advent? Is there any place for completely original art, or is that in itself a super puritan way to look at things

I feel i've seen this film before to be honest, and I've decided I'm going to embrace it and try it out. Still, my heart doesnt consider myself an artist by using AI as a crutch, but I'll still do it

Day 2

382 Stories Later

He dove into the infinity because death was upon him. The idiot sniper had missed his shot, the terrorist pressed the button, and it was nuke-go-boom time. Only his optic filters in his mem-helmet saved his eyes from being fried, and he was propelled out and below into the vast sprawling city like a canon.

He dove in a perfect acrobatic arc worthy of an olympic medal, and all he knew was the now. Time slowed to a crawl, and everything was pristine and crystal clear: He was going to die, but God was it a beautiful city.

He was falling now, falling past the pods of silver gleaming cars, and ad-boards and holographs and eventually shrapnel that was catching up to him. When his ears tuned in he finally heard the secondary detonations, the gargantuan slow growl of The Nexus Trade Center crumbling to death.

This would hurt people bad. The brain of economy, the super computer that nobody, not even the craziest people had interest in harming, was now dead.

In those few seconds he had left diving through the sky he checked his bank account, saw only errors and zeroes. He checked the forecasts, saw only emergency broadcasts of catastrophic failure, and hee laughed in surprise. The world had just eneded  for some, and it was a new era.

382 stories later he found surface. He braced himself, hoping to all the electric gods in the heavens his impact-shielding would save him. It did not.




As Barrakis looked at the last blip on his radar turn red to KIA, he punched a fist through the monitor, shaking it free of the self-repairing glass. He looked at everyone else in the command center. He took two seconds to get rid of the frustration, the accusations, the horror. There was work to be done.
He put his hands on the table,
"Sit-rep."

And later, after the ashes. Retribution to be delivered

Cordially

Cordially, we put our guns on the lap, at that wooden table, cigarette smoke, the poor last flickering lamp bathing us in a snapshot-film of impressions. Sort of like a movie, yeah?

5 well suited gentlemen sprawled across furniture in different forms of distress. One clutching his heart and looking up at the sky while lying on the sofa. One leaning against a jukebox, gun half-pulled out. The others make an X. Flat and layed out, as if in rigor mortis in the few seconds they died.

I can't make out the last one. Only two of his fingers making something like a peace-sign behind the sofa.
"Well."  I say.

"Well." Said Guy Number Two

Cordially, the three of us, know that negotiations have broken down way beyond talking, because the only reason we're still breathing is I missed my suprise shot, and the other dude used his friends as meat shields, and the last guy only got unlucky with a wounded left hand.

"Well." Said Unlucky Guy Number Three. He raises his hands slowly, knowing full well he's not gonna make it, but the film goes on, and maybe i'll be faster than Guy Number One.

Gotta reload, gotta shift my weight, gotta blast some faces.

...

now.

I dont even know where to start because while scrolling i kept on finding a new favourite. I'll stick with blue-line kawaii book girl though. Hnnggh my heart . Great stuff suuper.

Always fascinating to see how much thought you put into this stuff, and can you believe i backtracked and forgot that tracing has always been a great warmup? I know i need my repository if inspiration to get up again. I'm jumping right in soon as I can, and this time I'll be catching up to you (ate dust looong ago haha)

Great stuff going on here man keep at it. And oh if its not a bother id love at least 3 steps before after to see how you get from start to finish. Always loved that stuff, but only if you have time.

Keep on arting, suuper!

What he said, but fantastic haha, those are the things that keep on bringing more content. Write short stories, sketch your characters, make a binder, share with friends (or us, whatever is your fancy).

What medium do you think would represent your story best? A manga? A movie? A novel? Curious

Gosh darn some really cool stuff here! Hope the application gets accepted. Last characters beg to be in a rogue-like indie game or something, that interior final is siiiick and love the studies and shading.

How long have you been drawing?
