Thank you, Vlad! Indeed, AI art is quite the hot topic and a lot of the discussion around it includes emotional reactions (which are human, so it's understandable). But we believe that an approach of looking at thinks objectively and trying to make sense of what we know is more helpful in moving forward - with AI art, and life in general.
Ah, I hate that we as artists have to worry about AI so much. I just wish people would use it properly for certain things, and not for taking over the art community, music community, and more.
No, Ai isn't going to replace artists nor will it replace musicians. Many people have said what I'm about to say, which is that an artist or music who uses Ai will replace you if you do not. I'm a musician who also uses Ai music generators. Why? Because there's no going back. Ai is here and it's not going to go away. We can try pushing people to use us 100% of the time and abandon Ai to make us feel safe. But the reality is that customers and clients generally do not care how the art or music was made. They just care about what it means to them. For a lot of my projects, I need to create a lot of music quickly. That's where Ai becomes valuable. For business and personal projects where there are not deadlines, it's either Ai-assisted or just me playing instruments. If you're an artist or musician who will stop creating because of Ai, you're not passionate about what you're doing and stopping is probably the right thing for you. The rest of us just have to accept the change, learn how to use all forms of Ai, both tools and generators, and keep moving forward. If at some point, clients think you're moving too slow and prefer Ai, guess what? You will use Ai or you will find another way to earn a living. It WILL replace some people for sure because one person who knows what they're doing can generate a lot of art or music. And for that reason, you need to be one of those people. Ai isn't going to be something "everyone" does well. I don't think we have to worry about companies and individual buyers spending their time generating art and music. They will still use people who are experts in the genres because Ai generators work best when you know something about the genre you're creating. When you do not, the results are usually pretty lame. There may come a time when anyone can say "play me an original song" and "create a beautiful painting" and Ai will immediately spit out the best sounding music that person has ever heard and the most imaginative piece of art they've ever seen. But that's not tomorrow. So don't worry about it today.
It’s not really replacement. It’s not a zero sum game. Boutique chocolate factory stores still exist alongside KitKat. Homemade meals are still more valuable than Mcdonalds. A carpenter still exists alongside Ikea. Hunter Gatherers still thrive in isolation despite what is going on around them.
The point about expertise is especially important - experts will always be needed and actual knowledge about a topic will be important when curating both human and AI-produced art in our case.
@@tomasmuir9812 These are very good examples. From the perspective of entertainment productions like games and film - as these come with budgets and timelines, which AI seems to cut - there is also the possibility of having both within the same product: a mix of AI-driven efficiency on certain production aspects, with human expertise curation and correction.
Very well put. Happy to finally see an objective point of view and not an emotional rant :)
