Sure, because screw artists with unique talent and style, let's just have AI crank out the same style crap every day..
I'm rapidly getting tired of this new AI art era, looks like the same shit every day anymore.
Where's the human factor anymore? Where's the talent, where's the skill?
That's not how we should see it. Digital artists spend a lot of time creating and trying different things. On the other hand we have people with different conditions who have ideas without the skills yo execute anything.
This allows everyone to do more and quicker, increasing the earning potential. AI is useful as long as it levels out the playing field. It's the malicious use we need to moderate and like drugs, thats a slippery slope.
How does it increase earning potential? Best case it would flood the market with shit and result in less income due to either dilution of spending amongst thousands of idiots using “ai” or destroy the need for a market in the first place. If everything is ai why would I pay the “artist” instead of just going to stablediffusion or something similar?
Why would you hire a photographer instead of using your phone?
Because phones are still not able to shoot as well as a professional camera, never mind the skills needed to frame or light the scene correctly.
Why would you hire a photographer instead of renting a camera, then?
...because you know shit about photography (I presume, for the sake of argument). Why would you hire an AI artist over doing it yourself, then?
I’m predicting it now. There will be either an app or a bot that collects all the photos taken at a wedding by guests and generates “professional” photos of the event. So you won’t need to frame the photos anymore. You will only need enough perspectives to predict what a framed photo would look like.
I’m against AI replacing human creativity. This is just a prediction. Not saying I want it to happen.
