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?
i mean, these tools will allow people without art knowledge to make a picture based on ideas in their imagination to enjoy. obviously will be a pretty tough enemy on people that are in the art medium just for profit.
in the other hand, it will allow coomers (the main userbase for enemies of AI art) to spit tons of lewd artworks free, making some artists leave the medium because they won’t be able to profit from it
in the marketing sector, it will be pretty bad, because business won’t hire graphic designers if a software can make them a logo or an art for a webpage.
that’s why we need socialism…to avoid that artsy automation leaves people without some style of life means, but petite bourgeoisie artist maybe will be open to be radicalized to marxism with the advent of AI art
I feel like, artists don’t go into art (a job known for “the starving artist”) for profit. It seems like the artists you are talking about are the cream of the top, while ignoring the masses of artists making little to “average” money.
