A.I. Art Is Destroying My Life Purpose

[Danioover9000]

   This is an interesting video to share, it may have a mix effect on those who are pro A.I. drawing, or against it.

   Let's play a little game, called spot the difference, except spot the differences and similarities of their perspectives, and where they have blind spots about the potential benefits of A.I. drawing, and dangers of when it runs rampant by big companies and drive many traditional/creative artists that work a 9-5 in those art studios out of business and art jobs in their niche. I really wonder what their opinion on this issue is when their own family or friends get the boot?

@Space So, any updates on using A.I drawing programs? Anything new or still the same?

I've been thinking a lot about it, and my perspective has shifted quite significantly since making the original post. I'm not personally using the AI in conjunction with my own work because most of the time I find it hinders my process and detracts from my style and voice. However I am keeping up to date with everything that's going on, new developments etc. 

I actually don't see this technology having a significant impact on professional artists' jobs any time soon. Although it's not that simple because some jobs will be impacted and replaced, some sooner rather than later and some not at all. Each sub-field of art & design needs to be looked at separately because each one will be impacted in different ways. So anyone giving a quick simple answer response to this technology is just factually wrong. AI will be able to do basic graphic design work way before its able to create professional work for big-budget games or animations. But then even within 'basic graphic design' you have more sub-fields, like logo design or leaflet design. Each one will be impacted differently. It's much more realistic to imagine the AI creating a bunch of new logo designs compared to creating a finished frame for a big-budget animation or final character design for a game. 

But my general view is that Ai-images are, to put it simply, just pretty pictures. They are exceptionally good and arguably 'human-level' pretty pictures, but aesthetic and technical proficiency is not enough to replace a human artist. There is far too much implicit understanding that is required in order to create useful professional artwork that can be used in actual professional contexts. Much of being an artist is about implicitly understanding an art director's or a client's needs, vision, specifications, requirements, personal creative ideas and combining all of that into a finished piece of work. So much subtly and nuance even the most simple projects. No AI can do this, let alone the current AI image generators, and arguably never will be able to because they can only understand explicit communication and prompts. 

Anyway, there's way too much to say, I could go on forever about this.

   Interesting video, by a professional artist, on the topic of A.I generated artwork:

If art could be killed so easily then it isn't worth very much.

Calm down. AI will replace 50% of jobs, forcing politicians to give us universal basic income and 3 day work weeks, and moving all people into social fields to fill in the smaller work weeks. You will have more spare time for your own projects, find a group that will create indie games/movies for fun. Getting people out of the work grind is a good thing in the big picture. But society as you know it now has to die

I used to think this… but, whatever the case I don’t wanna get caught completely useless

Opposite it is contributing to my life purpose.
