bill gates is a chode. i only quote him to say: high profile people are willing to make happy predictions about text generators but not art generators. biased

They don't care. At all. From their POV, all that matters is market share and profit. The rest is PR.

  To be fair I am also biased: I am responsible for creating an interface that uses Stable Diffusion https://capsizegames.itch.io/ai-runner https://capsizegames.itch.io/ai-runner, but the program is a result of my bias not the root cause.

    Good for you, you are in the trend, may the gods of the multiverse be with you.:) I personally have no interest in generative art at all. Just received my new handmade brushes from Escoda. Waiting for a spring to paint me some landscapes. I get my inspiration just as a generative AI, from data set from countless artists before me. The difference? I am still human and love the process which is not driven by the profit margins or time to market optimization.

        Don't get me wrong. I am old and biased to my core. My personal experience is that in reality the winner is the boring tech which people use because of real life needs and goals. All of it related to their survival and well-being. Generating some pictures is entertaining and may be valuable for some, but when we talk about art, the process is more important than the results. Art is personal human expression. When my brushes are painting more than me, this is their art. Not mine. All of this will give yet another tool in the corporate belt for reducing employment on a grand scale. And this is not the industrial revolution, which provided some alternative to the craftsman of the era. This is the removal of human value in the production loop. Edit: Did you not read the ART part of my response? Boring is MS Excel, a real game changer.

        what do you mean by winner, and what do you mean by "boring" tech? advanced algorithms and the things you can make with them are pretty cool, and i'd argue the boring is subjective (ai could be considered boring). "ai" is new. new markets and opportunities and areas to expand knowledge have opened up. i'm excited by it like i was excited by computers in the 80s and i'm dedicated to building applications that put it into the hands of as many people as possible.
