(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 💖

Yes absolutely... 💝 art is meaningful because there is an artist behind it...!

So this is the heart of the issue, really. And its why I don't think AI art is as bad as people think. Yes, it will automate out a lot of jobs. all technological progress does that. but people are especially upset about art because in great art the artist has put themselves in to the piece. the artists story is a major part of the painting or sculpture or whatever. AI, by definition, can't replicate that. It can't fake human experience. Patrons of that kind of art will never go away. and the ones who do, didn't appreciate the art to begin with. There will always always always be a desire for human made art.

You hit the nail on the head. The evidence is in all the people constantly complaining about AI art, it won't ever truly replace artists because clearly nobody wants it to (aside from soulless capitalists). An AI can create beautiful melodies but we know there is no meaning behind the words it sings, so it doesn't move us.

I 100% agree, especially for comics like yours. But I do find it surprising that all your examples are what I would consider entertainment, rather than art. I don't think people would watch Audrey Hepburn fighting 3x Jackie Chan for the social commentary, but I do think it would be very fun to watch. Maybe there's place for both?

AI doesn't just magically make art. It took millions of humans putting work into creating AI. It takes a human to use the tool...
