Original survey link: https://forms.gle/7Bu3Tyi5fufmY8Vc8

Thanks for all the answers, here are the results for the survey in case you were wondering how you did!

Edit: People working in CS or a related field have a 9.59 avg score while the people that aren’t have a 9.61 avg.

People that have used AI image generators before got a 9.70 avg, while people that haven’t have a 9.39 avg score.

Edit 2: The data has slightly changed! Over 1,000 people have submitted results since posting this image, check the dataset to see live results. Be aware that many people saw the image and comments before submitting, so they've gotten spoiled on some results, which may be leading to a higher average recently: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MkuZG2MiGj-77PGkuCAM3Btb1_Lb4TFEx8tTZKiOoYI

No, the AI didn't try to copy the other art that was included. I also don't train the model myself, I just tell it to create an image similar to another one. For example the fourth picture I told it to create a rough sketch of a person sitting on a bench using an ink pen, then I went online and looked for a human-made one that's of a similar style.

Ah ok. So it didn't use those images to train on. Were those images hard to find ? Does it tell you what it uses to train ?

~~Could you credit the human artists somewhere?~~

Nevermind, it's there on the results page!

You realize these models are trained on billions of images, right? You want a list of millions of names? For what purpose?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The survey had 9 images made by human artists. Why do you immediately interpret my question in the weirdest way?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Because the human artists were already credited. It's under every image on the results page. I just assumed you meant the AI generated ones because it wouldn't make sense to ask for something that is already there.

Aah you're completely right. I didn't check the results page, only the spreadsheet and this post.
