I heard about C2PA and I don’t believe for a second that it’s not going to be used for surveillance and all that other fun stuff. What’s worse is that they’re apparently trying to make it legally required. It also really annoys me when I see headlines along the lines of “Is AI the end of creativity?!1!” or “AI will help artists, not hurt them!1!!” or something to that effect. So, it got me thinking and I tried to come up with some answers that actually benefit artists and their audience rather that just you know who.
Unfortunately my train of thought keeps barreling out of control to things like, “AI should do the boring stuff, not the fun stuff” and “if people didn’t risk starvation in the first place…” So I thought I’d find out what other people think (search engines have become borderline useless haven’t they).
So what do you think would be the best way to satisfy everyone?
I mean there is an actor and writer strike for this reason and more. AI is not art. While it’s true that art is subjective its also supposed to invoke emotion and get a person to think. Not that AI art can’t do that, but it’s not the same.
I think AI art is great for first concepts, practice, really anything but the end result.
some art is meant to get you to think
some art is meant to fill a gap on a wall
i don’t think a poster from ikea is meant to get you to think. a live laugh love slogan isn’t even creative (any more; maybe the first one was?)
there’s lots of things that visuals are meant to do, and get you to think is just 1 of them
