Since human artists are expensive to hire but generating images with AI is inexpensive and instant they know AI will win that competition by a landslide. So, they’re trying to convince everyone (including themselves) that their art has some magnificent invisible property which makes it inherently better than AI art and we should be their patrons instead of just using AI to make the exact same product for less time and money. It’s not a rational argument. This is an old story, humans have been designing machines which make labor easier, quicker, cheaper.

[@Churchgrimm]

​@@ilikecookies9796The vast majority of people who produce and sell art on the basis of passion likely have a day job that tangentially involves their art or doesn't involve it at all. The primary way AI Art actually affects many of those people is by companies profiting off of artist's work without proper compensation, which is simply an extension of an already existing problem, and arguably an instance of it that could prove easier to regulate than improper licensing/art theft overall. The industry that is going to be most affected by AI Art in some respects also has the most to gain from it: graphic design. AI Art has the potential to eliminate a lot of the ground level work in graphic design that constitutes an outsized portion of the designer's time. What will likely happen is that design firms will see productivity sky rocket while gig-industry graphic design work will become hyper competitive with a higher level of entry, as people who can't/won't integrate AI into their workflow have to bow out and the people who can/will now have to compete with other designers doing the same as well as purpose built algorithms in their price range. tl;dr Art for art's sake will be untouched, digital artists ironically might see a net benefit because of new regulation, part-time artists working out of passionate will be mostly unaffected, and graphic design will experience a shakeup and overall increased competition. The people who AI _really_ will suck for is entry-level programmers. Every high school counselor in the last decade told their students to enter computer science and the new threshold for entry-level is going to go WAY up with AI automated coding. It's going to be a significantly harsher job market for programmers. At the end of the day, there will always be a financially significant number of people who care that their art was made by human. Very, very few people care at all if the majority of a program was written by AI so long as it works well.

yup, it'll come down to who provides the best prompts for the ai to use. An uncreative prompter results in the ai having to guess or improvise or spit out generic nonsense, but a creative prompter knows exactly what they want and will learn the intricate ins and outs of how to get the ai to produce what is in the person's head, and that result is what will draw eyes. The focus will still be on the person controlling the ai more than the ai technology itself once we start getting truly remarkable pieces with phenomenal premise or structure, even if the ai is totally handling all the tiny little details. AI is great with filler detail and side-noise in art, but those are always branches of the tree. Only a person can plant a good seed that grows a solid trunk for everything else to sprout off of.

[@minthecarpenter6458]

I’d like to mention that letting everyone use the tech and influence it actively downgrades the quality- almost every AI creative writing software I’ve tried (I’m a actual writer and got curious about how well they work), had this hilarious tendency to begin writing porn midway through. They go off-rail if you write anything too long, they cannot hold a storyline, and if you want to write a actual good story, you need to still have lots of writing experience to edit your story. Now, I AM going to bet that the people writing product descriptions and blog posts and such will be replaced, possibly the more unscrupulous news sources will employ it, but…it’s really not going to replace anything. At least not while people let it be open to the public. Maybe if someone figures out how to curate ALL the material it gets they can stop the writing scrambler (I refuse to call it AI), from writing porn.

Jobs vanish buddy. New ones evolve. You have to go with the time. In 2100 most humans will be Cyborgs. Tons of jobs won't be needed anymore.

I don't know that it will replace animators? Indie animation is on the rise, becoming more and more viable, and art for art's sake is the entire point of indie stuff. I'm sure shitty corporations will be glad to not have to pay real artists (especially for something as expensive and time-consuming as animation), but with how they treat the artists they have now... is that really a job you want? Plus, with all this controversy, them using AI to make their movies might even end up being their undoing (assuming they haven't dug their own graves already).

what about shoemakers, carpenters, creators of plates and glasses and textile makers, manufacturers of household appliances, doesn't even matter to you if these products are made with heart and soul or if, on the contrary, they are manufactured by a machines, what difference is there between all of those mentioned above? and the art?

[@mrwhatshisname2526]

@qcxk_23 with respect, you're going a bit off topic here to me. You see, what you seemingly are referring to isn't AI, but manufacturing machines. A solid difference between those two is that an AI does what it's asked to. But a machine does what it's made for, because that's all their purpose is. What I get from your comment isn't a solid argument or even an argument. Honestly, I don't think you know what you're talking about

As an artist, this feels too real. 😭
