You could probably put together a rather long list of “professional artists” that have been openly caught being more than somewhat reliant on tracing, and that’s just those getting caught.

This kind of ai will come for literally every job, not just artists and craftsmen, on the planet at some point and in most fields this has already started.

Generated imagery doesn’t “still” contain the “signatures” of an “original” artist; it frequently includes elements that look vaguely like abstract representations of signatures constructed from first principles. THIS IS NOT A SAMPLING/REMIXING TECHNOLOGY.

Never mind Greg Land, how about Roy Lichtenstein?

“But AI art pretend itself to be the new revolution and future of art forever”

Seriously, when humans create art they don’t literally layer a bunch of picture one on top of the others and start tracing over the bunch of them using smoothing tool to better blend their features.

Either AI-generated art doesn’t fill the same need as human-made, “real” art or is a threat to artists. Both things cannot be true for a given area of art.

What an absolutely awful article. Are we at the point where the most liberally minded people online are deciding what is and isn’t art? Just wondering if I should check that off on my dumb as fuck world bingo card.

Nah this is just the next iteration of luddites, people seeing that technology is making them redundant and as a result screaming cold-blooded murder. It’s not a process, it’s a craft. And you can’t replace that... except of course you can hence why already there are many digital art programs that automate more…

As someone who has been a professional artist for close to 15 years now I can say that I am not worried at all over AI replacing me anytime soon.
This is gonna be a repeat of when automation became a thing. The way we work will change and new skills and jobs are being created in the process.

Yes there is a lot of…

That is genuinely refreshing to hear. It has occurred to me, the significance of this tool for people who struggle with physical challenges that would impede them from creating art in the traditional way. I am very happy for you! I really can’t wait to hear what many others who share similar difficulties make of this…

As someone with dysgraphia (I cannot write with a pen, or draw/paint for more than 5 minutes at a time without getting crippling pain in my hands), I have struggled my entire life with the desire to draw and create art, and being unable to actually learn it as a skill. The last few months has been a revelation for me,…

“Machines don’t make art. They’re machines”

“Machines don’t make art. They’re machines!”

I’ve always admired the work that goes into creating them (both illustrations and photos), and I think the average person has too, which is why so many have become memes over the years.

You’re very loud and one-note in your indiscriminate condemnation of AI art. Which in some ways, makes it cathartic to know that AI art is here to stay. It is a bigger technological evolution than going from pen and paper to digital was for art.

I just watched a pro-AI video from Marques Brownlee (yes, he has concerns about crediting, too, but overall his video is AI Positive) so I think the ship has sailed for trying to stop AI art from growing.

an artist isn’t the style or product they output, its the creativity they bring to the table. AI generated art literally cannot replace that.
