Really cool

Unless you're involved in creative and arts scenes, where your livelihood, of creating things and having skills to bring imagination to life, is under threat. Creating art, something that made us human, under threat from computers.

But, two thumbs up if you work in an office or on said computer

Time to go Janus and stick in a quote from an old but mainstream movie

DR OKUN: Since these guys started showing up, all the little gizmos inside turned on. The last twenty-four hours have been really exciting!

PRESIDENT WHITMORE: Exciting? People are dying out there. I don't think "exciting" is the word I'd choose to describe it.

Creatives always find a way, it’s what makes them creatives.

Plenty of technology has threatened the ‘end of creativity’, but has always enhanced and expanded it.

I worry that companies like Disney & Amazon are desperate to cut out the artists entirely. Much more profit to be made if they don't have to pay authors, actors, animators, directors etc.

They won't stop unless someone makes them stop. The profit incentive is just too strong.

The other concern is that it makes it harder to break in as a new artist. Why would anyone fund a new artist who is still learning the ropes when they can make 10x the money licensing a new, AI crafted Ian Fleming novel/Picasso portrait/Jimmy Hendrix track?

Latest Marvel show had a AI generated intro credit scene.

Good art will breakthrough, it always does.

Pointless Trash will also always make money.

It did. Secret Invasion.

However there's a few things about it that need pointing out.

The use of ai was the actual concept behind the art direction, reflecting the overall concept of the series. (shapeshifters who are not-quite-human etc). This was a decision by an art director and the creative team behind it, and it was more about stylistic direction than cost reduction.

What you saw wasn't the raw images spat out by MidJourney, it was refined and polished by highly skilled animators, illustrators, digital production artists, art directors, and sound engineers. No one lost work out of it. The ai generated images were used as an image resource, just like a stock library for images, video, and sound.

The ai doesn't just create stuff, it needs to be prompted. The outputs also need to be curated by someone who knows what they're doing.

I'm a designer/creative director and I use various ai tools in our worklflow. I'm not worried in the slightest about my role in the process.

That time might come but it's not even close yet.

That Uncanny Valley is still easy to see.

It also leans on what already exists so the “creativity” is questionable. Just like ChatGPT it’s a bit of a confidence trick.

I can't see AI impinging upon art to a degree that matters tbh 90% of which is utter mainstream trash anyway.
Yup, people doing derivative nonsense will ‘suffer’, serves them right 😂.
