Unfortunately, as evidenced by half of this comments section, a lot of people are starting think of artists as irrelevant. Unless this changes soon, art is going to really suck for a while. Especially for those of us making art but aren’t popular enough to weather the storm.
a lot of people are starting think of artists as irrelevant
I’ve thought that since childhood. I’m interested in the art. The pretty pictures, the nice music. Why should I care if a human or AI made it?
The only thing we need humans for (for now) is innovation. But then, listen to the billboard top 100 and tell me where you find innovation throughout these human artists. Take me to an art gallery and tell me how “I threw my brush at the canvas” has a right to exist next to “I threw my palette at the canvas” and “I throw a bucket of paint against the canvas”. Inform me how <DC movie number 28> differs meaningfully from number 27.
I think you might have a poor understanding of what art actually is or how it gets made. Sure there are some artists throwing random shit at a canvas, but there are significantly more that spend decades working their ass off perfecting their skills. The latter rarely get recognized for their work and aren’t making it on the top 100 lists, and AI is making it infinitely harder for them to be seen.
Also, AI would not exist without human artists creating the artworks that AI is trained on.
Great. That means there is a natural demand for artists. If AI starts failing because it isn’t fed enough art, the demand will rise.
