Yeah how about fucking books written by AI hsvs to label by fucking law. Sick of AI taking away the arts. My ex today was showing off a app that lets her create songs with AI. She played this song and had a singer everything was awesome wasn't to bad. But when asked who the singer was she explained how she was. She wrote the song and let AI pick the singer she just fine tumed the music.
At first I thought it was Chris Daughter because it sounded a lot like him. No doubt this app steals the vocals from somewhere.
counterpoint (not that this makes it easier) is that lowering the skillset needed for people to express and communicate what’s in their head has always led to more art and diverse perspectives being shared. it’s upsetting to artists that the skill they’ve spent their whole lives developing has less value now, but allowing more people to create is far from a bad thing in a lot of cases
It doesn't "lower skillset needed to create", that can be achieved by making lowcost/free but powerful tools to be widely available.
What it does is lowering the bar on making something that's pretending to be decent but in actuality don't have time and effort put in it. Which means that the only thing it is going to led to is massive amounts of slop
better tools will never lead to me being able to paint or draw without significant time and effort that i don’t have invested into practice
however i can express a fantasy world visually by describing it to AI - it’ll be kinda jank, but im still better able to communicate my imagination visually than i could otherwise without the help of someone who has skills to draw, paint, etc
Not with that attitude...
In all seriousness, yes, yes they are. Maybe you can't paint like the medival masters, but you able to open photoshop and make collages/edits to express your inner world a thousand times more interesting and charming. There are people who draw with a mouse. They are expressing themselves, using generic technology, that is for the most part, available everywhere. Do you really need more?
Or are you just want to speedrun and skip all this boring "effort", "dedication", and just generate away your "very valuable" ideas en-mass for cheap?
