[Leo Gura]

Ya'll can keep whining. I'll keep improving my art. Let's see who comes out ahead.

My point exactly, Leo who spent his entire life doing other things now a full fledged digital artist

You win man, you do you!

It's a win for humanity, but for obsolete artists who were making money with orthodox artwork this is the death of their marketability.

@Leo Gura  Midjourney AI I take it?

Lookin' good. But now that everyone and their mother can be a stunning artist I think it's offensively optimistic to deny that this drastically shifts the profitable market for artwork much to the disfavor of orthodox art creators.

Mid journey can make very good art, unique and creative stuff too, and it will only get better.

Its not the end for Orthodox artwork, its the end for most digital artist.

They will all need to jump onto AI art and become Retouch / editting artist.

Sad day for digital artist, this industry was always kind of abusive towards artist, but good luck!

 

future art comissions be like:

"Yo man I made this image using AI, i just want you to change  X, Y , Z.  can you do it? I give you $5"

   And this is what I've been trying to point out. It's so easy to justify laziness this way, just type a few words, A.I. generates image, yay I'm an ARTIST!

Yep, I'm with you there. It's like typing in a destination into your brand new self-driving tesla, and call yourself a skilled driver. Look look I can turn this corner without touching the steering wheel..

Watch out Picasso!

@ZzzleepingBear uhhh, the food analogous makes no sense. 
 

why not make a really good smoothie with a blender instead of by hand. How you eat the smoothie (or look at your art) is totally up to you. 
 

I don’t see how AI art is like taking a food pill. 
 

You can see the results right?
 

You can make AI generated art. Make a print and put it on a wall and enjoy looking at it for years. 
Nothing about how it was made says how you have to consume it. 

I mean, you could say that about how people consume art in the age of Instagram anyway.

Your analogy makes no sense 

 

Also, There will likely always be a market for human made art.

Who said you couldn't?

[Thought Art]

@ZzzleepingBear If your talking about the joy of creating there’s nothing stopping you. 
 

If not, your analogy is simply flawed.

Considering your previous temperament regarding how dreadfully incorrect my perspective on art marketability is, this seems like a rather emotionally charged response... Seems as if there's as tinge of actual contempt towards orthodox artists, unless I'm misinterpreting something.

/imagine [prompt]: low ends of the human soul being affected by AI art 

Interesting. At least the lowly peasants of outdated artistry will be remembered with elegant flair.

Sure. I don't expect you to understand it if you don't.

Tools help you make art.

AI actually makes art.

lol

Then you can use said tools to manipulate the already finished AI artwork further.

nuff said.

Future of digital artist = AI retouch artist.

@ZzzleepingBear You are right. I’m just stupid.

@ZzzleepingBear The reason you think a piece of art is tasteful or tasteless is subjective and up to you. If you saw a beautiful image that was AI and told it was made by hand you may like it more. Or, you may find beauty i. The image for its own sake regardless of how it was made, or even find beauty in it for being a result of AI. A beautiful example of the convergence of science and artistic expression.
 

That’s very different than a smoothie/ pill form food simply to down it faster.  At least a that how I see it. I don’t see how AI art is tasteless.

I think we can agree to disagree on alot of stuff around this topic. Alot of things can be looking beautiful without being considered art.

Favorite image I created so far!

@Vercingetorix wow looks like a photo

   Agreed. I see some bring up the 'art is subjective, therefore your critic is invalid and unsound' line, in order to defend and justify their use of A.I. drawing programs as good, that doesn't take away other types of digital art jobs. It's the same line of reasoning that YouTube Reactors use to justify their use of a YouTube content creator's video, while denying that they are taking away their potential audiences, like the followi

 

I can't fully explicitly tell how this relates to the A.I. drawing issue, but I can intuit that some theft is being committed to Artists here, and the dangers of not developing one's drawing abilities.

Also, this video below, more related to the A.I. issue:

While I do have a bias against Vaush, I do agree with him here. Very good takes here and there.
