Nobody can stop the march of progress. Being “vegan” with AI is just setting yourself up for failure in the (probably near) future.
If you’re a professional artist today, you need to lean into this and adapt somehow. Current AI is pretty limited, but that’s not going to last.
I wish I had an answer for the “how to adapt” question, but I don’t. All I know is that this isn’t the first time people have tried to futilely resist a technological revolution.
I do think though that copyright law needs to be updated to deal with this AI stuff. Copyright was created to protect creative works, since that is a very important thing to protect both for the economy and culture. I just hope that the people and companies creating these AI are on the right side of that fight.
I doubt it though.
- tomrod 4y agoThis isn't the first industry where laborious craft has been rendered a commodity by technology. There will still be room for artistic genius and patronage models in many places, but the people who want the plastic knockoffs will get a reasonable product too.
- hot_gril 4y agoThe other march of progress is that everything on Google Images can and will be copied. Nobody cares unless it's commercial use. The biggest joke was in high school being told to only use Creative Commons images in essays/presos. As if any kid is not just going to Google "dog" then drag the first image that pops up.
- lm28469 4y ago> Nobody can stop the march of progress. technological progress*, it's very debatable if that can be called "progress" in the general sense of the term
- trention 4y ago>Nobody can stop the march of progress. Several periods of known human history, starting from the late bronze age, disagree.
