(OC) AI 'art' and the future

[u/SylvieXX]

Could be controversial but I'm just gonna say it... I don't like AI... and for me it was never about it not looking good. There are obviously more factors to this whole thing, like about people losing jobs, about how the whole thing is just stealing, and everything like that but I'm just focusing on one fundamental aspect that I think about a lot... I just wanted to draw what I feel...! 🥲🥲 Sorry about the cringe but I actually live for cringe 💖

I think art as a job may soon be dead for humans unfortunately, but I don't think anything can ever kill art as a human passion, an expression of human creativity. Yeah sure, an AI could generate thousands of plausible chapters of one piece, but it's not the canonical one piece that Oda made, and that itself gives it value. People want to see what Oda cooks, not some AI. People want one canon that they can all discuss as a community, not a thousand different stories vaguely similar to each other.

I don't even think artist as a job as long as it makes as much money for somebody as it does. Filmmaking and music, for example - both are booming industries where there is a big pull based on creators. If you are specifically talking about drawing when you mention art then yeah, maybe, but I think even then there will be exceptions. Like you said, for example, One Piece: it is making bank to this day, and fans would abandon it in a hurry if Oda was no longer the author. The fact that Oda makes it doesn't just give it artistic value, that gives it monetary value, too.

Yeah... even if it ends up being disappointing for me, I would way prefer to see what the artist has in mind, what they want to express, instead of some computer generated content...

You've just explained why artists are essential. People who rely on AI have little individuality or thought.
