What are your thoughts on AI?
There are many aspects to AI but the one I have been thinking about is the impact on creativity. Yes, this may be regarding the end product having no soul as opposed to that made by human hands and imagination. But I think the impact goes further. Taking into account inspiration, artistic processes, creativity, learning, developing and employing a skill as well as the finished piece - what's the effect on the ACTUAL process of human creativity? So, there might be some "imagination" involved in instructing the AI to make something, but skills and actual creativity could, theoretically become redundant and evolve out of us. It might be that the notion of "creativity" and "imagination" change as we evolve from cave art, through to the modern day and beyond. I feel that would be a really sad progression of humanity.
There's something about being creative for its own sake, in its own right. And it's often the process and the learning and the satsfaction. How can one get this by employing AI?
Does anyone have anything to respond with regarding this? Specifically about the process not the end? Am I on my own in considering this?
Yes, as an artist it does worry me. It worries a lot of other artists, too. I know, they've said so, at least on social media.
I posted on another thread here recently that humanoid robots can and do sell their drawings for tens and thousands.
I've indulged in my sad 'hobby' for over 40 years, and I am still lucky to be able to sell anything I do for much more than peanuts.
