As an artist, I think it is a net negative for us. Disregarding the copyright issue, I think it’s also consolidating power into large corporations, going to kill learning fundamental skills (rip next generation of artists), and turn the profession into a low skill minimum wage job. Artists that spent years learning and perfecting their skills will be worth nothing and I think it’s a pretty depressing future for us. Anways thoughts?
Thought-provoking topic!
I hope the situation doesn’t get any worse for you or other artists. It’s a difficult enough field as it is.
What kind of art do you make?
Thank you! I mainly do portraits, as the face was always captivated me the most. Ironically (or not) one of the first things AI mastered.
Nice. Portraits are difficult! But I do love me a portrait gallery. As almost every image is a portrait (there’s always the odd ‘creative’ interpretation of what a head/face is), you can really focus on comparing the different styles in a way that’s a bit more difficult in a more general gallery, where the subject matter is also different in every piece.
What’s your style? Like hyperrealism or…?
I like to do semi-realism, but I feel like I need to develop my style more. Here’s a part of a piece I haven’t posted anywhere to not doxx myself.
Bloody hell, that’s incredible! (Pun intended.)
I know the styles are different but I can kinda see some Cézanne in there (subtly). Maybe in the palette? Have you studied him at all?
Honestly, that’s fantastic work.
Thanks!
No, I don’t know if any of the artists I studied have studied him, but I guess it’s cause I didn’t go to art school :P
