People kept telling me in high school that I shouldn't go into radiology because AI would replace it. I'm a radiologist now and the AI lung and mammogram nodule finding tools are still far from accurate.

My art teacher and one of his old students used an AI recently, and had fun with it. They were really impressed at first. Then my teacher got bored. He's the kind of person who appreciates the process more than anything, sees the beauty in it. He often describes working with deliberate strokes, and discovering with amazement that an idea can be expressed through a simple stroke of the charcoal.

He told me that working with AI is boring, because working on the composition, the intensity, values, ect, is the real enjoyment of creating art.

He didn't talk much about the artists' jobs being at risk. He himself is not in danger, since he teaches people, I don't think he sells much of his own work but I could be wrong. I just think that even an old time artist, who's life is literally art, is confused with the rapid changes this technology brings, and that he doesn't wanna draw early conclusions and possibly introduce a bias to his students.

I think right now my biggest concern with AI is... how fast it can produce believable misinformation, which will be seen and reproduced by the average person

[Rasupubegasu]

Sadly, artists in China are losing jobs because corporations started using AI . One artist in a phone interview said they will look for a different job. It truly is heartbreaking.

"Asking for forgiveness rather than permission"
That's a good way to put it. Big companies just do whatever they want, then in case of controversy they just apologise with no tangible consequence, or get a slap on the wrist.

People keep forgetting that its not only drawings at risk, musics, voice acting, writings and even coding are also at great risk of being replaced by AI and are suffering the same problem of you having to analyzing it to see if was madr by a person or not, damn imagine being a teacher and having to read your students texts without knowing of they made ot themselves or it was an AI

I dont live off of my art, so im not really intimidated by AI art. in the end, what i love about it is the process. but im starting to get really worried for animators, professional illustrators, designers etc. this shit is getting way too good way too fast

[BrokenFingerParadise]

I think even the problem with potentially jumping ship to a different career is that we don't know how big of an impact AI will have on those too. Art is just one of the things that will be impacted, but I can't imagine that jobs in finance, admin in general and basically any job that can be handled by someone sitting in front of a computer could eventually be replaced.

Unless you job is purely something involving physical labour I could see a future where AI could more or less eliminate it as something a human is required to do. Not going to happen overnight but who know what the next decade will bring. How can you prepare for the unknown?

[Rorschach]

As an artist, all I can really do is watch. AI has flaws now? It'll get better. It's the nature of technology. I've really just accepted the fact that corporations and the average consumer will just choose to use AI because it's cheaper and faster. It makes me sad but there's not a lot we can really do. As we saw from the last video, the people making this aren't interested in money or power, they have an ideal and they'll pursue it regardless. So now just appreciate what we have, draw for yourself.

It sounds like the inherit problem is not within AI, but rather a world ran by corporations who value profits more than people. The only way that this problem is going to be solved is not by bashing AI, but rather rebuilding the system from the ground up. Something that, let’s be honest, is not happening any time soon. In the meantime artists and people in general don’t really have much they can do. I know it’s pessimistic, but it’s hard to look at it any other way.

[Hanna_Stefanowska]

I'm an artist myself.
People are so mean lol, I have heard too many times my work is worthless and shit because they can get even better things for free and in seconds from AI, and that they will never pay me or any other artist ever again.
Some of them even say they don't need to learn how to draw, because they can get AI to do it for them, and then pretend it's their work while they don't do shit.
I'm really worried, to be honest. I had troubles selling my art even before the AI trend, people wanted my artworks to be free or were angry when it took more than one day to complete, and now it's even worse.
Most of the time I can't sell anything and I'm only being insulted and laughed at by potential customers who love AI "art" more than actual art that was made by a human from scratch.

I have played with AI art for about a month and I had fun with it, but then I lost all interest in it. And when I'm on Instagram's explore page, I'm surprisingly really good at seeing which art is made by AI. I think part of the reason why we enjoy real art is because we can see the beauty of the mind of the other person. There is no such connection when its AI art. It does not make you feel things to the same degree as real art does.

I still hope that humans will not be defeated by machines when it comes to the arts (like: drawings/paintings, writings, music, & etc). I hope that people can still fully express themselves just like in the past and for those who consume, to find works just like the classics of the past also. I'm not all against the AI but as someone who appreciate real art in different fields of art, I find this AI dilemma of replacing artist/creators/writers concerning.

Edit: What I also meant with people expressing themselves in art, was that people are also going to make a living out of their art

isnt just fair for people who make art for them to earn a living out of it? And isnt unfair for AI to take that away from people? Like Solar Sands also said there will be people who really appreciate art who will support pure human creation and traditional art will not die, it must and should be.

As a photographer, the comparison to photography is vexing to say the least. I think a lot of people who have no real experience with photography like to think of the art as just pointing in the right direction and pressing the shutter, whereas in reality it is the cumulative result of several different processes which can include but are not limited to editing, lighting, and set building. I know 99% of viewers probably aren’t thinking about the analogy through that kind of lens, but since the video covers the idea of your art losing value or respect, it hurt me a little 😭.

[wisdomax]

when you said "find a second source of income" it broke my heart. i knew that ai will forever change the art industry, but hearing that after watching this pretty damn smart video hit different, especially how delicately you put it.

[k.e]

Something that feels very funny to me is that AI NEEDS a data pool to pull from in the end. If it takes over everything… who exactly is gonna make its data pool?

AI literally needs artists for it to be able to replace them properly. Or else everything AI makes will boil down to the same style and same things very quickly.

[Viktoria_Selene]

Honestly, im going to keep doing art, because i like it

[DodgeThatAttack]

what really annoys me is the number of people who hear about AI art being a problem, then start thinking that its *only* art at risk.
Its to the point where many people dont like AI in general because "its coming for artists jobs"

No, its threatening almost everyones jobs, almost equally, you only HEAR about the art because its a lot more interesting to talk about, but AI also brings a plethora of its own advantages. It isnt simple, or one dimensional like that and most of the people who have a single opinion for "AI" as one thing often dont know what theyre even talking about.

[analogies]

Keep making art. Just because ai can do it “faster” doesn’t mean your efforts are futile. You are making a tactile product. Ai is confined to the digital realm. We put so much weight on digital assets because we’re constantly looking at our screen devices. All that shit will fade.. there’s a reason why the pyramids are still standing today. It’s a physical fucking object. If anything AI will push us back into the world of the handmade as we will gain real appreciation for it once again

[davidfeltheim]

Like the laws overseas for requiring advertising to show accurate depictions of food, we need laws to require content creators and companies to put disclaimers in there advertising and products if it used any amount of AI software in it, or it instantly loses its copyright or and exclusivity.
