Did you know that stunning illustrations of anime characters can be created in just seconds using Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become increasingly popular on the internet in recent years. Nowadays, AI can generate text, images, and even videos within seconds with just a few instructions. While an ordinary person may take many days, weeks, or even months to illustrate a batch of anime or manga, AI can produce beautiful characters from scratch in the blink of an eye.
It's true that AI is fast and convenient, but internet users have had certain doubts regarding AI's ability to generate anime-style illustrations based on user-entered text. To create anime-style illustrations, users simply need to write a guide about what they want (the more detailed, the better), and AI's task is to produce images that meet these requirements.
However, Twitter user @mikan_spi investigated these illustrations and discovered something that we all know is happening. That is, AI actually has an algorithm that uses existing illustrations to create its own illustrations. This has been pointed out by many social media users before. They provided evidence of certain similarities between the results produced by AI and illustrations by other artists.
And what @mikan_spi users presented for comparison is truly impressive. Some illustrations are nearly identical, differing only in aesthetic appeal and significantly less refined technique.
Now, let's thoroughly examine this issue through a series of comparison images below! Here, the original image appears on the left and the images generated by AI appear on the right:
Some comments from netizens:
- I hate to admit it, but in some cases, I prefer the illustrations done by AI.
- Many illustrations seem quite outdated. Artificial Intelligence brings them a more modern touch.
- Wow, AI is developing too fast!
- Smart move, using AI to circumvent copyright.
Despite the assistance of AI, creating customized illustrations becomes incredibly easy and fast. But did you know? In Japan and South Korea, AI-generated paintings have faced opposition because they are taking away jobs from real artists.
