There they will be FORCED to pick up a PENCIL and DRAW and WRITE POETRY, BY HAND!

“Nooooooo, I just wanted to write prompts to make shitty catgirl pictures!”

“You will draw a pretty flower or be shot.”

    In a broad sense, yes directors are artists. But the people calling themselves AI artists aren’t seeing themselves that way, they see themselves as equivalent to “pick up a paintbrush” artist.

    I think there are potential good use-cases for AI in art, but I think those are going to be more of a “cutting out busy work drudgery” things than doing the actual creating. Like, with music production, using AI for stem separation makes sense. It’s a long, arduous process to do it manually., rarely works well, and it’s not especially instructive. So yeah, let the AI do that.

      I would say currently every AI artist is worse than that. The AI is just a money machine and they turn the crank.

      I agree the real “money” would be artists tools. I genuinely surprised we haven’t seen more. But maybe there is and I just haven’t touched Adobe in years.
