Ai art - a threat?

Kuroshi tries to express himself within his wasteland plane.

Compiling responses from Seth on artificial intelligence. James Gurney also has some posts, discussions have been firing up right now. Seth has commented on it.

Some things are in our favour, Regardless how much AI art advances. Objections that have resonated to me are:
  1. Wabi Sabi
    Vinyl records are still in, when a blacksmithing does blacksmithing the natural, hand-made quality of it all brings novelty. It's how the old becomes new again. Old rpg game aesthetics walking into a realm of new.
  2. Becoming the one and only
    Creativity and ideas are all the more important, bringing that individual touch that will make an art director not “Get me a generic book designer”. You want them to say, “Get me Chip Kidd, that book designer.”. Then you want them to say, “Get me a somebody who looks like a Chip Kidd”. Using all the processes of the disciplines and eclectic fashions. All the more vital to summon that creative magic.
Is it going to threaten our work? Including freelancers out there which I have my sympathy towards?

There's discussion of copywriting the prompts if possible, but I'm not sure how much that will satisfy copyright vultures like Disney. That's another discussion for another time!

All the more for the artist to make something that is worth sharing, and to make a difference. Merely having a style of specific expression is not enough, bringing their everything into the mix. Organization, leading, and community is what's going to be on his side of such a loving touch.

I'm going to keep making art and stories regardless.Tools and their advancement won't stop one to becoming a category of one.
