Ok but what is an actually good solution to the whole AI art debacle? (self.asklemmy)

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 don't like to be a pessimist, but as a musician and writer, and seeing how the value of my work has steadily decreased years before AI became mainstream, I don't see how "real" art will become more valuable. Maybe on an individual/personal level, but not in the industry as a whole. Especially once an untrained person can't tell the difference between AI and "handmade" art.

I think the slew of flops at the box office is a sign that people are rejecting this. Putting aside what AI could do, right now everything that's generated feels vapid in a sense, and I don't think that's entirely because it came from a machine. The creators were just that uninspired.

I'm personally happy that the film industry is struggling while works like Spiderverse and Helluva Boss and going against the status quo.

I mean, there's a reason that Marvel/DC comics are nowhere near as popular as they used to be while manga gets several aisles at the bookstore.

It still hurts to see people around me lose motivation because of AI though.

AI art is like the knock off movie studios. It uses someone else's ideas and rehashed it in the most generic way possible because that is what it is designed to do.
