It can replace people, just not in a direct, visible way. Artists like to support each other, not AI. So they go to a platform like Fiver to try to find a real artist. They see someone that looks decent and hires them for the commission. Turns out, the person they hired just just prompt generation. They could have hired a real artist, but instead, unknowingly and inadvertently, they hired AI instead
Artists will utilize the tools presented to them. And that's what this is.
If you can write a first draft of a novel from your personal outline in 3 minutes, then do a real rewrite, you've saved countless days, weeks or more. And it's still yours, you wrote it. But you've replaced the agonizing first step of the first draft.
Music-get rough drafts of your song ideas in minutes, and riff off of that. seriously, you know how many times I've been with a band that takes a month to even get a "scratch" version of one song idea? Now you can get a template to work off of in minutes.
Its not a tool, its a crutch. People are using it as a replacement for creativity. The harder you have to work on something the more value it has in your eyes. If JRR Tolkien used AI to "save time" on The Lord of the Rings it would be trash.
This is why its called Slop. It has almost no value because no effort was expended in its creation. Zero passion. Just numbers run through an expensive calculator so they can mimic the heights if human creativity.
Fuck. That.
I always find it funny... This reaction when you probably enjoy Marvel movies and the aforementioned Lord of the Rings. {And that's not a slag off, just they're heavily CGI.}
And I'm sure Cgi is fine with you , right? Green screen? Pro tools? Drum machines? Brian Eno? Kraftwerk? Sequencers? Samplers?
I don't know, how about the fucking industrial revolution?
Bottom line is it's always in how you use a tool whether it's a crutch or not. If you use it to get a rough draft from your original material, I fail to see the harm in it. Because it's not creating your "art" it's streamlining the process for you.
CGI is different than AI generated and you fucking know it. Clown.
Tim's Vermeer...
Well, if the person was able to get something professional that others like then they're an artist. Wether you're using 3d software, paintbrush, or prompt. If you make art that others like and they give you money you are a professional artist. No one was replaced. Just a new artist has entered the workforce.
But an experienced artist with a great sense of composition, color, and framing will run circles around someone who doesn't understand any of those things.
In the end, a person still did the work. The AI didn't direct itself.
They did NOT do the work. Thats the point.
No they did. Making high quality AI that makes people want to watch or look at requires a lot of time. It always will.
This is what was said about 3D art back in the day. People thought it was the computer that did all the work. 4 decades later people know that a person builds everything. AI is the same concept. Matter of fact, your best results come with starting with a high quality hand drawn image or nicely constructed 3D model.
AI doesn't just make itself. Especially the generative stuff.
There has to be interaction between a human and Ai for the foreseeable future, IMHO. You have to write a prompt to extract the information. It’s just not there yet like EV’s. Gas prices up …we need moar EV’s. What’s cool is Tesla’s EV 18 Wheelers. But, it is estimated to be around 20,000 to 23,000 pounds, depending on the model. The truck is designed to carry a total weight of up to 82,000 pounds, including its payload.
Is the US infrastructure built to withstand that weight? We’re just not there yet.
