The age of man has ended, and the age of the machines has begun.
The year is 2022. Machines are creating art with words from humans at mind-boggling speed, volume and increasing quality. “Someone needs to stop this madness!”, “Art is dead”, “The artist-killer is here”, the world is holding it's breath. Will machines take over?
At the intersection of technology, art, and controversy - me and my co-founder Eric are launching Dreamsands, a platform to explore and buy licensing for AI generated visuals, images and content. As of today, we're inviting all creators and enthusiasts to submit their work on Dreamsands. Over 1 million visuals have already been submitted during our beta from the most cutting edge artists in AI creation.
It is estimated that more than 15.000 million AI images are created every day, with varying quality and purpose - and so far there hasn’t been any attempts to aggregate, curate and present this new image revolution online. As avid art lovers we found it increasingly hard to keep track of all the new imaging tools, forums and subreddits where people were posting amazing work, and thus the idea for Dreamsands was born.
With Dreamsands we let anyone, anywhere in the world enjoy and explore the beauty and weirdness of AI generated visuals.
Here’s a highlight of some of Dreamsands’ initial features:
◦ Explore over 1M+ images
◦ Follow your favourite artists
◦ Like / Save / Favorite posts
◦ Save, and buy the art you like
◦ Buy royalty-free licenses
◦ Suggested posts

@school_4_ants Interesting viewpoint. By that same logic, art or content should always be free and not paid for because anyone can theoretically do it themselves? Is there a reason AI artists should not be paid for the work that they create, compared to other artists?
@johan_v1 while I could debate the notion of whether what someone produces with an AI is "art", I don't think that's actually relevant to the point I was making, which is that it takes all of 30 seconds to produce an image like this with any number of softwares (some free, some paid), so why would anyone who is interested in the space prefer to pay when they can just as easily make a similar (or more customized/relevant) image themselves, in 30 seconds?
@johan_v1 In other words, I fail to see the UVP, or at least, one that works for me (and by extension, people like me, who are following the generative AI space)
