Your role is now an art director, using AI as a superpower. Embrace it. You should be able to use it in ways that people without your experience won't even think of.

​@@djbradyI don't know brother, calling it a superpower is a bit fanciful and even stupid if you allow me to say since it is not even a real power

I agree that these type of tools should never be even mentioned on the same level as real artistic skills, like drawing, painting, photography etc. I studied art and I know very well and respect the value of real artistic skills and knowledge. The way I see these tools is that they can be useful for quick concepts and ideation. Consider them a new, more visual way of doing research for a creative project. Instead of using Google to find references, you draw a rough sketch and describe what you imagined with a prompt. I know many professional illustrators who use these tools for ideation and quickly mocking up things before settling for a direction. These tools should not replace the artistic process, they should support it.

​@@YesImaDesigner Thank you for bringing your point of view, and I really agree with all you have said. Doing sketches/concepts on tools like that seems VERY useful. But while many of us will use it just as a different way to do the work we usually do everyday, I really suspect that many others will use it as a real final product, and I don't think it's fair enough to the artists. I don't even think the artists know these tools are using their artworks for that. So while we don't have an agreement between artists and tools in a way that it will be fair enough for both sides, I (personally) will avoid these tools, I can't avoid the feeling of stealing from someone.

You can complain as much as you want but its a fact that in 5-10 years you won't be able to tell the difference between a handmade and an AI made image.

​@@VHS_NEON , i can super easy , because my condition for the artists that works for me is either they present physically in front of me in the office so i'm watching them while they drawing, or they stream live in a private link with me while they drawing my art pieces , i have already worked with couple of artists this way . and i pay them very well they deserve it for being real artists . so im not complaining you m0r0n low 1Q k!d0 :)

​@@VHS_NEON , i'm stating facts not complaining k!d0, and yes i can tell the diff super easy , because my condition for the artists that works for me is either they present physically in front of me in the office so i'm watching them while they drawing, or they stream live in a private link with me while they drawing or working on my assets , i have already worked with couple of artists this way . and i pay them very well they deserve it for being real artists .

@@DoctorMGL sure buddy. I’m sure a guy that can’t even spell moron properly needs real artists to draw for him because you lack the talent. I 100% believe that.

@@DoctorMGL Bro Are you seriously writing kiddo as „k!d0“ 🤣🤣

Then evolve with the times and use these tools to your advantage instead of complaining about them.

Cope. If you can't compete with a "soulless" machine then maybe you need to make your art better.

@@VHS_NEON omg thanks u are brilliant this is just what i was missing than you sir

@@_B_E this is 100% about art and not about organizing people together to survive through a killing system

@@lucasradcal Back when Photography was started being called art by photogrpahers, the art community was also triggered. "Oh you're just pressing a button, where's the art in that." And yet today its considered art. Same will happen with this too, no matter how much up in arms you'll be.

I don't need a PhD in IT in order to use a computer!! Why is it bothering you that we all now have a mean to express our thoughts in an artistic way without being a Salvador Dali?

@@Rais_Lghanjo Theres no harm in using programs like this for fun but when you're an employer trying to cut costs it has serious negative implications for artists that have spent there entire lives learning their craft.

@@Rais_Lghanjo Well if that's your mentality, I look forward to when ChatGPT can teach me IT and fix my computer for me through guided steps and recommended parts, rather than spending hundreds on a specialist. The future is looking bright!

@@Rais_Lghanjo It bothers me that lazy people want praise and admiration or even credit for copying and pasting in a prompt, without doing any actual creative work. Even the way you frame your argument has resentment for talented and skilled artists who worked on their craft for years and years. As if it's a bad thing to want to strive to be as great as Salvador Dali, if not greater. None of this has led to an increase in creative expression or any of that idealistic bullshit, it's resulting in an exponential increase in derivative mediocrity. Now it's not even a person doing it, it's some algorithm trained on stolen art, spewing out that mediocrity on behalf of the lazy people who resent the creative process. At least before there was some purpose and pride in learning and appreciating the craft, even if you weren't the best of the best. People learned about the medium and the related art history as a byproduct of that pursuit. There was absolutely nothing wrong with how things were before, this wasn't solving any problem. It allowed people to find their purpose and be compensated for the value of their work and a well balanced economy of creators and clients. This relentless push for AI generated content just created a slew of new problems for no reason and provided the perfect excuse for companies to make their artists and designers expendable to make more profits.

​@@axxa5000 Except all of this was happening before AI. Companies always prefer the lowest price, US animation studios have been shipping off labor to Korea since at least the 90's. Copy paste generic art has filled tumblr and twitter for decades at this point. People get overly praised for underwhelming art and have been since probably the first line sketched. AI isn't changing any of this, and it ESPECIALLY doesn't impact YOUR ability to create. The real subject of your frustration should be that creating isn't viable without income and that, especially in an age of automation, Universal Income isn't being pushed more to allow people to be people. Instead of targeting the cause of the problem, you get mad at the effects of it and get on an entitled and condescending high horse to put others down.
