I am a songwriter and illustrator, worse even I draw fantasy art and I have to confess that I see the images that our generated are so beautiful and are done in a minute. We illustrate this cannot even compete with that. The only thing I feel we have left is that our ideas are turned into an image by our own brain and it is not dictated from something outside of it, because no matter people think they are creating it is not a direct translation of our thoughts thought. If only it has made me want to return to traditional media and I'm in fact sketching on paper again. I have a fully illustrated project called fear no more that I halred it in 2016 and it is mostly digitally painted. I spent weeks in each of the drawings and they still have lots of imperfections I have to polish they're probably AI could do just fine with a minute click. We artists will overcome this and probably will learn to use it as a tool eventually but it is not the same to use it for Creative purpose and direct what we want to do and minx and work with that to create something new than to pretend people are righteous or painters or illustrators just by commanding a simple sentence. As unfair as it sounds I think we are just will thrive. Another conflict that needs to be issued is that all deviant art was put into lion database without the artists permission and their pages to know if you're listed in database some of my art and photos are and I never granted a permission for that. I don't think it is white and black I think there are a lot of grays and lots of legit ways to use these tools. For example I love to write songs but maybe I don't have the skills to adapt my song into another language. I have been trying to write a song in Japanese for quite a while and I am a little bit stuck because of my lack of knowledge of the language so I can use these tools to check if the grammar is okay but I don't want them to write the song for me. The problem is that there will always be people that will know how to learn to take advantage of this in a legit way and it's taking real job from our tests but the problem that I see is that people have stopped valuing art and thinking it takes effort. I think with a little bit of time it will be almost impossible to distinguish what is real and what is not and artists will learn to use some of the tools to create new things out of elements of it where whereas no artist will have to just accept what they're given. I also can see how it can help with FX and things like that. But I will continue to practice how to draw my hands properly which I may say they say it's a given that AI art is bad at hands but most of real artists are bad at hands too. So now I'm especially motivated to get them right. @hedac and my hangs outdoors here in the cabin and I'm in fact is sketching and doodling on paper. All of a sudden it feels special to me. And even in the future there is a catechism or whatever or there is no power, you know, art will thrive in artists. Just kidding 😂 let's not expect gloom and doom.
Sadly I have to come to immense the I don't see anyone commissioning a fantasy portrait anymore, and as we as musicians had to accept the streaming barely cover artists already in music it feels all to have to undergo another episode of people not knowing the effort that goes behind us and we mustn't forget that that AI was trained with human skills.
Ok enough for now. And my apologies if there are any typo or Grandma mistake because it was using a speech to text tools. I wish you a Merry Christmas and it was nice to read you around here
