      It also would be funny of you handle a pencil to a photographer and tell them that if they cannot draw the Mona Lisa they are not allowed to use the camera to just push a button and make a portrait. C’mon guys let’s bully those Photographer Bros, it’s fun!

          You are not a God who decides what’s art and what’s not… sorry

          If art is the ability to paint then photography is not art. If art does not require ability to hand paint then AI is art. Logical inconsistencies are for religions and gods.

              You can agree with me in a more open-minded vision of art.

              I consider everything art, even things not made by humans or even living forms. Everything that tickles my mind is art for me, no matter how it was made.

                Interesting take. I personally disagree - I define art as the human experience/emotions being expressed exclusively by humans through various mediums. To me, that human element is what makes art “art” as it were. AI might be able to produce approximations of art and some of it might even look quite nice, but I don’t consider it “art” in the way I define the word.

                  I don’t even mean AI here.

                  I was thinking about a mountain (I’m sitting in front of one right now).

                  A mountain is beautiful, so beautiful that many humans have made paintings of it, take pictures, write poems. They have try to mimic the mountain beauty with their tools. But they did not make the mountain. Erosion made it. In reality here humans are just copying something nature made and calling it “their art”, but they did not make those shapes and colors, they did not create the emotions that everyone seeing the mountain feels. They are just replicating it. Here the artist is just erosion, the wind and the rain, the trees and the snow, not a human being.

    I was leery of AI early on, but people told me it has tons of good potential uses. Sure, it seems to help search results, but almost every other time I hear about AI, it’s for negative reasons.

      We’ve had ai for decades and it has infinite uses, finding cancer, observing space, math, doing corporate busywork, etc. the generative ai we have now is only good for hurting artists and culture.

        I imagine half the people using generative ai for memes wouldn’t have been able to even get online in the 90’s since you had to shop for a modem, install it in an ISA slot (yes, open the scary computer box), determine compatible IRQ settings and reflect them in BIOS, hardware jumper, and software, find (or sign up for) a valid BBS / internet service, set the proper software protocol, and troubleshoot why it didn’t work the first time. I almost wish my computer made modem connecting sounds when downloading a file. Yes, this is my “walked uphill to school” story. :)

      A d that’s a great depiction on how the space you chose to be and the people you surround yourself with can and will shape your thoughts.

      If you would have been surrounded by a different environment you would have read different news and opinions and you may had not change your mind in that regard.

      If that’s the case, you have either been old for 30 years or you are actually too young.

      Yeah, it is through OpenAI.

      They made a Ghibli filter trying to get more people to buy their tokens.

      I have zero issues with what I consider nothing more than a glorified filter.

      However, fuck Altman and OpenAI. I’m not giving them.a single fucking penny.

    “Aw man, some person used an AI filter to quickly make a cute picture of themselves as a couple! Guess they should ride the sewer slide. Anybody who uses any AI whatsoever should krill themselves, otherwise there will be exactly zero human beings that still prefer art made with human hands, expertise and creativity!” ~ Dipshits all over social media

    FFS, they’re not taking your job, they used an AI on their own photo to do a cute thing that they’re not going to sell. If you’re a good artist, you WILL find work. I make art for a living myself (and am paid quite well for it), and on occasion I use AI tools to make my workflow more efficient while still doing most of the difficult bits (such as, idk, CREATIVITY) myself. This all-or-nothing approach the internet has to AI in art is unbelievably annoying and pretentious, and reeks of that classic armchair critic stench. God, people sure do like to post extremely dumb shit to make themselves feel better, even up to and including stuff that essentially amounts to saying “kys” in response to someone using a glorified Snapchat filter.

    • My one complaint in your comment is the “if you’re a good artist you’ll find work”, it’s simply not true.

      I’m a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.

        I understand what you’re saying, that the job market is a lot of luck and can be unfair. But it does sound like they need to keep trying. Every determined, talented person I’ve seen enter my industry (gamedev, an industry at the bleeding edge of ai art as a technology) has done so after hundreds of rejected applications and eventually broken in. Is it fair? Not at all. Will you eventually have your value recognized if you keep at it long enough and keep honing your craft? Absolutely. The difficult part lies in not burning out and quitting during the agonizingly grueling process of breaking in, which I can sympathize with, as I’ve gone through it myself. I have seen many people end up down that route, but the thing everybody on that route shared was that they didn’t care enough about doing art to just keep on trying despite whatever circumstances they had thrown at them, which is just an unfortunate reality. And yes, for what it’s worth, AI is absolutely making that process more frustrating.

            I don’t care; they can downvote away. People on social media are stupid, which is demonstrated by the fact that if you read the rest of my replies, you’d see that I agree with Miyazaki, but also that everyone is interpreting what he was saying incorrectly by ignoring half of what he said, which is ACTUALLY disrespectful to the man. The important context in what he said was that an AI would not be able to replicate the expression of pain his friend felt via animation like a human who understands pain and emotions could, and THAT is why he found it offensive to life. There is a giant difference between that and using AI in your workflow to improve your efficiency so that you can focus more on the important creative bits, which is what Miyazaki was clearly referring to as being what he cared about.

            So yeah, dumbasses online not being able to read context or critically think from their social media complaint armchairs don’t have any sway on my opinion when I have a decade of real-world experience being an artist for a living on them.

        His reply doesn’t disagree with anything I said. Using AI to enhance your creativity and do work more efficiently is not the same as letting the AI do the actually creative/artistic bits for you, which seems to be the thing he’s upset at in that clip.

                My dude has no idea how gamedev works at the AAA level. It’s not that simple, smartass. You can be fully staffed, with outsourcers and even have contract workers and still have to crunch; there are a limited number of people who know how to build certain proprietary systems on this earth, and having limits on your budget and having to pivot major parts of your game late in development are both extremely common things. This is why custom efficiency tools are made in the first place, to make highly competent people with rare skill sets and with limited time more efficient. The solution isn’t “hurr durr just throw more people and money at the problem”. Having a larger number of developers without the proper skillsets (because those are the only other people on the job market you can feasibly hire to staff up) can actually make a project take MORE time, not less, believe it or not. This is why coder interview processes have, like, 4 or 5 phases at some companies. You’re handing somebody the keys to the kingdom (for a fairly large paycheck, no less) and they might accidentally burn down the castle with you in it if they’re not the right fit for whatever it is you’re working on.

                So yeah, AI art is not all bad. Please sit down.

                  Massive pivots and the like are also issues with gamedev.

          He hated people taking humanity out of art, which is what is actually disrespectful here. AI being used as an efficiency tool to remove the more tedious, time-consuming and less creativity-intensive aspects of making art is not the same thing as letting AI write/animate an entire movie for you, which I do agree is an affront to the concept of human art.
