刚才在等脚本自动跑图，闲着去翻看了之前收藏的“手搓画师”们的作品，看了一遍后心生感叹，这些画太牛了，我就算用最顶级的模型最优质的提示词去跑也不会达成他们那种精心的具有极致创意的效果。
我之前收藏这些图是带着一些功利性实用性的角度去收藏的，我碰到喜欢的就去收藏，然后每隔一段时间会进行一次大筛选，这几年下来收藏的零碎的散图从最高的几万张到最后只剩下几百张。我之前是做摄影工作，每天就是存图看图，但AI生图极速发展之后，我发现我对写实摄影越来越不感兴趣。尤其是我之前做的写真行业，现在想是真的无聊。（我认为工作本身就是无聊，无聊不可避免，但我可以在相对条件下有意的进行选择）
我之前学习过一段时间的艺术史，最喜欢现代艺术史，可以用璀璨形容那一段时代，画家和其极具创意的作品层出不穷，属于百花齐放。反观当代艺术，大部分对我来说跟屎一样。（我知道有些当代艺术家的想法和创作非常好，我也很喜欢，这里的表述为大部分，不是全部）
我认为这些“二次元”画师们非常好的展现出一种现代艺术时期那种绚烂多彩的感觉。每个人有每个人的风格，笔绘水彩水墨油画电子笔绘等媒介在他们手里的表现方法无穷无尽，画面内容形式更是让我看的头皮发麻，他们在用手描绘着自己想象的画面，让其最终呈现在观者面前。太TM牛逼了！AI只会取代那些平庸的画手，就像我与之摄影。
我目前的图的画面元素，也就是那些“tag”基本都是拿那些画师们的画“洗的”，不止我，我认为现在的AI画手们的画面内容元素90%也都是“洗出来的”，我并不认为这是什么好的或坏的事，去值得进行做价值与道德的批判。画面内容元素的提取与融合再加工，画面表现风格的混合搭配，都是一些再创造的过程，对学过艺术史的我来说是最容易接受的事。但我永远无法“洗出”画师们的创意与执行。
AI只是工具，机械性的跑图只会麻痹自己，跟那些平庸的画手没有任何区别。
无聊时的一些感概。当做记录自己目前的状态。

I was just waiting for the script to run automatically, so I browsed through the works of those "hand-drawn artists" I’d saved earlier. After looking through them, I couldn’t help but sigh—these paintings are absolutely incredible. Even if I used top-tier models and the highest-quality prompts to generate images, I could never achieve that meticulous, supremely creative effect they deliver.
I used to collect these images out of practical and utilitarian motives. I’d save whatever I liked, then do a major cleanup every once in a while. Over the years, my scattered collection went from tens of thousands of images down to just a few hundred. I used to work in photography, spending every day saving and viewing pictures. But with the rapid development of AI image generation, I’ve grown increasingly uninterested in realistic photography. Especially the portrait photography I used to do—it just feels so boring in hindsight. (I believe work itself is boring; boredom is inevitable, but I can make conscious choices under relative circumstances.)
I once studied art history for a while, and modern art history is my favorite. That era can only be described as brilliant—painters and their wildly creative works emerged one after another, a true flourishing of diverse styles. By contrast, most contemporary art is garbage to me. (I know some contemporary artists have fantastic ideas and creations that I really admire; I’m talking about the majority, not all.)
I think these "anime-style" artists perfectly capture that vibrant, colorful spirit of the modern art era. Each has their own distinct style, and they wield endless expressive techniques across mediums—traditional drawing, watercolor, ink wash, oil painting, digital brushwork, and more. The content and forms of their works leave me utterly stunned. They paint the scenes in their imagination by hand, bringing them to life for viewers. It’s just freaking amazing! AI will only replace mediocre artists, much like how it affected me in photography.
The visual elements in my current images—those "tags"—are basically "derived" from those artists’ works. And I’m not alone; I’d say 90 percent of the visual elements used by today’s AI image creators are "derived" in the same way. I don’t see this as inherently good or bad, nor worthy of moral or value judgment. Extracting, blending, and reprocessing visual elements, as well as mixing and matching artistic styles, are all acts of re-creation. Having studied art history, this is something I can easily accept. But I can never "derive" the creativity and execution of those genuine artists.
AI is merely a tool. Generating images mechanically only numbs the mind, making you no different from those mediocre painters.
Just some random thoughts when I was bored.
