Nope, but I already look down on artists who refuse to integrate generative AI into their processes.

- mplewis 3y agoCan you share some of the art you’ve made with generative AI?
- _svoh 3y agoCool, who are you?
- MisterBastahrd 3y agoPeople who use generative AI in their processes are not artists.
- password54321 3y agoThis is true. They are just taking a sample from a generated latent space, just like taking a photo of something doesn't make you an artist.
- blacklion 3y agoSo, there is no artists in, for example, street photography? Picture must be altered to become art, or staged? Was it irony? :)

- password54321 3y agoThey are photographers. Here is the definition of an artist so you can have better clarity on what an artist is: "A person who creates art (such as painting, sculpture, music, or writing) using conscious skill and creative imagination"
- int_19h 3y agoYour definition assumes that photography is not art and/or doesn't involve conscious skill and creative imagination. That's not the consensus, to put it mildly.

- password54321 3y agoEverything is art then and we are all artists. Happy? Also consensus != correct.
- aqfamnzc 3y agoI took gp as satire. But maybe not haha.
- blacklion 3y agoAnd people who use Photoshop are? There is somewhat famous digital artist from Russia - Alexey Andreev. Google it, he has very distinctive style of realistic technique and surrealistic situations, like landing big manta ray on the deck of aircraft carrier. Or you can see his old works in his 5-years-not-updates LJ [1]. Now he uses generative AI as one of his tools. As Photoshop, as different (unrealistic!) brushes in Photoshop, as other digital tools. His style is still 100% recognizable and his works don't become worse or more "generic". Is he still artist? I think so. Where will you draw the line?

- nottorp 3y agoFor every Alexey Andreev there are about 248518 blogs with "AI" generated illustrations that you just scroll past without noticing :)
- davely 3y agoI use generative AI to rubber duck and help improve my code. Am I no longer a software engineer?
- smackeyacky 3y agoI don’t think this is quite right. I think paraphrasing The Incredibles has a better take: When everybody is an artist, then nobody will be one.
