On one hand, we have printers.
On the other hand, we have programmable robotic arms that can feasibly create paintings they've been programmed to replicate from digital. Extremely difficult to do with the current interfaces and limits of today's firmware, but it shouldn't take much investment to pull off.
digital "art" has never been and will never be art.
It's just a commodity like money. It has whatever value the party gives it and will always have value as a store of value.
You cannot fight the technological tide, why even bother?
People really think they can just turn back the clock a bit because the way things are going makes them uncomfortable. It's so arrogant.
That's exactly how I feel about AI-hating artists. Their only 'criticism' of AI art is 'Hurr-durr, it is now possible to generate pictures for free, therefore my life is ruined'. If your trade can be replaced this easily, you never had a real trade.
If we're going to defend the merits of capitalism and the "free market" (lol), I must defend the increased productivity and efficiency that comes with obsoleting human labor. Humans have needs that impede productivity, time sinks that take them away from work. Computers and machines will work constantly until they fail, as long as they have their required resources, and they don't need to be compensated individually and will never complain about labor rights or work conditions.
This is the "free market" at work, that you defend.
You lose.
You hear about Black folk posting on this site but then you're always shocked when a moron replies to you. Read the highlighted part of the image, and consider how "digging with your hands bringing fulfillment" applies.
Yeah i read the entire post and there's literally no mention of digging with your hands insight. Please circle it if I missed it (I know I didnt, your just a schizo)
That's a valid concern. By the time AI gets advanced enough to outperform real artists and have its own sense of individuality, then we're all fricked and we should be more concerned about the survival of the human race
You know exactly what I meant by that. Once AI is indistinguishable from humans and replicates art without any soul or variety, do you really believe anyone will find fulfillment or enjoyment in art or simply being alive? No, you should also consider what uncanny valley means because that's ultimately where AI is headed
Yeah, so? Why would I stop enjoying life just because a robot can do art better than me? That doesn't even stop me from doing art, just stops me from monetizing it

Well then that AI art won't be popular and won't replace human art will it? Whatever becomes popular with humans will be appealing to humans, don't worry about that. Somehow I doubt AI art won't be able to appeal to humans though, humans are pretty simplistic
It would quite literally make all of the human condition purposeless and any struggle meaningless, why would anyone attempt to express themselves once AI slop destroys every artform? I'm not sure you've thought this through to the full extent

the idea that a computer could somehow become a replacement for the emotional release of certain types of art is fricking moronic. kys you homosexual. i really fricking hate you morons.

yet you haven't explained a single cognizant reason for WHY the existence of AI art would demotivate people to such a degree. what catharsis is there in listening to a piece of music a computer wrote vs composing your own?? you haven't been able to give a single answer to that.
rest assured tons of people out there can probably write far better pieces of music than you can, far faster. does that somehow diminish the enjoyment you get when creating music? are you fricking moronic? seriously... do you have some form of fricking brain damage? misanthropic homosexuals are the fricking worst.

art should not be a profession. it's something you should do in your free time, because it makes you happy. the only reason artgays are seething is because they think they should be able to keep getting away with being paid for a hobby
>trust me, anyone can be good at art >how do i know this? >because i, a sample size of a single person, was able to improve into being really good >since everyone else starts out like me (really bad), that means everyone else would be really great too
I hate how common this line of thinking is, dont even care about anything else, this single justification of "it happened to me so it will happen to everyone else" is used to justify so many crappy opinions. I hope he enjoys living the mediocre life like everyone else without a talent
finally someone who is honest about their motivations for hating AI art
fortunately those motivations don't have any moral significance and also they belie a childish attitude to artistic production which is sadly shared by a lot of people
me mediocre, unga bunga, me no want other know, other people not as mediocre, other people better, too easy, unga bunga, no pride for me, pride for them, they happy, me sad, me mad they happy, unga bunga
When you get past all the arguments of ethics and stealing, it ultimately just boils down to "it's not fair", because it's too fast and efficient compared to a human copying a style or art the traditional way
It wasn't fair when digital artists replaced trad artists, wasn't fair when photobashers took jobs from people who painted everything by hand, wasn't fair when people started tracing 3D models and placing them into photobashed environments. They were awfully fricking quiet throughout all of that though
no good reason then.
these new software allowed me to generate assets for my various projects, I don't have to waste money and time with some unreliable humans so it's an absolute win to me.
jobs come and go, I wish artists the best of luck in their professional reconvertion, billions have done it before, billions will do it in the future also, they will survive just fine.
they can still do art on the side, not everything has to be a job, they can also exploit the occasion to make an human-made label or some shit, I'm sure there is a market for that.
most people have never cared where their entertainment comes from
these people didn't matter and in an era where everyone can blasts themselves with content at unprecedented speeds, it matters even less
>trad painters are replaced by digital artist
This is fine, says digital artist >digital artists are replaced by artists photobashing their "concept" "art"
This is fine, says photobashing artist who now does less work for same pay >photobashing artists start to use 3D models to help light their photobashes and to place characters around it
This is fine, says photobasher as he gets even more money for even less work >3D using photobashers are replaced by AI
NOOOOOO THIS IS THE END OF ART MY ARTWORK HAS SOUL, says photobasher calmly
Exactly what it sounds like, a photo collage. Yeah most landscapes in modern concept art are just photo collages with some photoshop filters on. And most characters in modern concept art are traced 3D models, with extra detail drawn on top.
>ai art should simply not exist
It's a reasonable fear, but ultimately a.i. is just another tool and a good artist is going to use it to make better art.
It's a shovel. What it does depends on the hands of he or xe who wields it.
>being good at art gave me a sense of belonging and a sense of usefulness >now that AI can do it i've lost that sense of belonging and usefulness
holy shit what a fricking moron. he literally immediately contradicts his point about his art skill giving him a sense of belonging. if "being good at art" was really what gave him a sense of belonging, then computers being good at it wouldn't have had any effect on his sense of purpose. >i will lose my sense of belonging because people won't appreciate my art anymore
yep, and there it fricking is; admittance that it was never about being good at art for the sake of creating something beautiful; it was about being RECOGNIZED as being good at art. when you get down to it with these morons, it's always the same thing that underlies their entire ethos, they talk about how much they love art and how it completes them as a person and then they immediately explain how they've lost their motivation because a computer can do it. fricking pathetic. i have 0 respect for these fricking losers.

Because they still want to express themselves? I don't see how that's supposed to be some kind of gotcha. I don't even see how AI slop would "destroy" an artform, when it is strictly adding another artform alongside an existing artform without touching the existing one. Even though stable diffusion exists you can still do oil painting in the footsteps of the old masters, or draw with alcohol markers and fineliners, or anything. I don't see where any "destruction" is supposed to come from.
Also there is an internal contradiction in your statements because you assume at the same time that AI art will always be shit in some way (lacking the human element), while also assuming that it will nevertheless completely conquer all other artforms. If AI art is as shit as you say, it well therefore not be able to conquer human-made art. If it's not as shit as you say, then it may conquer human art but it won't be as much of a problem as you suggest.
stop making digital art.
and start making tangible art.
problem solved.
On one hand, we have printers.

Also there is an internal contradiction in your statements because you assume at the same time that AI art will always be shit in some way (lacking the human element), while also assuming that it will nevertheless completely conquer all other artforms. If AI art is as shit as you say, it well therefore not be able to conquer human-made art. If it's not as shit as you say, then it may conquer human art but it won't be as much of a problem as you suggest.
