A.I. Art programs won't do Gay art. Tried them and they are worthless for Gay art. Might be wrong on this.
Gay artists you have nothing, absolutely nothing to fear. Tested DALL-E and Craiyon programs. MAYBE SPOKE TOO SOON. Some apps might be useful.
Sharing helps reach a larger community.
Seems that I am wrong on this.
Artificial Intelligence Art Programs in the news
There has been a lot of reporting that the Artificial Intelligence Art generators were a threat to the work of artists.
Here are a few:
This has apocalpytic worries for artists.

Here is another story with apocalyptic fears.

Can you use A.I. art generators to make Gay art?
So I thought it might be interesting to have the A.I. art generator generate pictures of a Gay temple. I used DALL-E, the A.I. generator that has been in the news, and a competitor Craiyon which is free. DALL-E gives you so many credits free and then you have to pay for credits.
These are the links to DALL-E and to Craiyon for you to try for yourself.
The answer is NO for two reasons.
If you get results let me know, and I will issue a correction.
[1] First you can’t use certain words in the DALL-E A.I. art generator.
Both words “nude” and “homoerotic” were flagged when I tried to use those words in doing the A.I. art generation. You get the following message “male nude in the symbolist style.” The message you get, is “It looks like this request may not follow our content policy.” It will accept the words “Gay” and “homosexual,” but as we will see it gives pathetic results.
[2] It produces garbage as far as I can tell.
Craiyon wasn’t so censorious, but the results were worthless.
These were the nine results for homoerotic temple. I was able to enlarge them, there is absolutely nothing homoerotic about them.
The results for phallic temple were similar.
Both homosexual and Gay temples were just temples with lots of color thrown on them to make them homosexual. This was for homosexual.
So I switched to trying DALL-E with my free credits.
This was for “Gay temple in symbolist style.”
This was “homosexual temple in symbolist style”
So I thought, make it simpler, just “homosexual temple.” I got something with rainbow colors slapped on it.
This was what “homosexual male temple” gave me.
So I tried to “temple of antinous” the Gay god during the Roman Empire. I just got ruins.
However, when I asked for “temple of antinous in symbolist style” I did get this. I have no idea why the sky is yellow, or what is that mold on the pillars, but here it is.
So I tried a method and asked for “oil painting of a homosexual temple.” I got the following. The A.I. program thinks homosexual is the rainbow colors.
And:
I tried “stone carvings of temple male homosexual states and one of the six art works was this.
I tried other combinations and got no where. “Gay love temple” gave me buildings with a red heart and the rainbow colors.
Just Googling “stone carvings of temple male “homosexual” states” came up with many many images of male homosexual statues on Hindu temples where often they were having sex. This is on illustrations of many.

SUMMARY
It seems that these programs contain no creative sense, they merely can generate art for something that basically already conceptualized.
With corporate censorship of “nude” and “erotic” it is not likely to be able to do much.
That is not to say that sometime in the future the software won’t be able to generate something of interest to Gays, but now it can’t.
Subscriptions are free.

If this continues I'd highly suggest (to you and others) to not use A.I. programs for this and to just download and use the CGI art programs DAZ Studio, Poser and Carrera instead; you're only limited by your imagination using those programs, and after you make said artwork, you can post it in the knowledge that it was devised by you without any problems (and yes, I've seen a lot of nude artwork done with said above programs on DeviantArt.) Be warned, learning how to use them takes time.
Long-term, we need to overcome the current prudishness of society, and make people realize that there's nothing wrong with doing artistic nudes, especially doing them with an A.I. program.
