I look at these works of art created by artificial intelligence and I think: yes, it’s beautiful, yes, it’s good, but… What’s the point? Where’s the story, where’s the work, if everything is so simple, then what’s the point? It’s no better than a store where you come and buy, although no, you come, take everything you need for free and leave. I don’t see any value in it, it’s just boring.
I just think theses people(who use AI to make art) does not have enough courage and perfectionism to get into drawing.
“Why bother putting hours in drawing learning, if the magical AI can draw the meme I ask it instantly?”
“Why bother buying a telescope and putting hours in astronomy theory if you can see better space images for free on internet?”
“Why bother doing a marathon, if i can just take my car and go there faster?”
For everything, you need to invest enough of your time in it so start liking it. The majority of people only have a few hobbies.
They see art as a way to be popular for the nerds who are skilled enough to draw. They see astronomy as a way to be popular for the nerds who learned astrophotography. They see sport as a way to be popular for the nerds who are fit enough to run.
For them, one thing that seemed innaccessible, became accessible with AI. I know it’s sad, but theses people don’t care if something has a soul or not. They just want their eye-appealing ghibli portrait.
Here’s a good blog article that better conveys my point of view.
Anyway, I read the article or whatever it’s called in full and what can I say a human is like a train rushing into the abyss.
For example, there used to be independent artisans who had their own shops selling food and even weapons. But over time, the Industrial Revolution happened, and now everyone could do what the artisans did, but faster and easier. As a result, yes, the artisans died out as a species, and now it’s the turn of creative professions that somehow still exist. As a result, life will become even more boring than before, even emptier, progress seems to kill the value of a person and does not always help him.
