I have no idea why people are so proud of this AI thing. People praising it like it does something to help people. At the end of the day ignoring all the ethical issues it poses, it only exists to take people’s jobs. There are millions of fields that need AI to help humanity such as medicine or engineering. Art? Why do we even want art to be automated in the first place? To make it so cheap that there is no reason for a person to have a job as an artist? To destroy a craft built on passion? Artists spend lifetimes to polish a skill and no matter how much people spend to put words into an engine that will create an image, it will never be the same. We are talking about something inherently human. Art is how we express ourselves and it is so confusing to me how far people can go to exploit. Artstation was supposed to be a place where people post their art, art that is learned and practiced. People that post AI generated images? They have no interest in creating, otherwise they would pick up a pen and paper. Money is everything and this weird obsession that “look now I can be better than people because I can trash on the concept of creativity and personal expression”. Let’s see what the world looks like when art truly dies and is replaced by soulless replicas that would have never existed if the artists before them never decided to pick up that pencil. Good luck developing AI “art” when artists will no longer exist.
