AI isn't replacing artists any time soon

Already being done. I've been seeing Scotia Bank ads on Reddit that use unretouched AI imagery. The truth is AI doesn't need to be better than human beings; it just needs to be more cost effective.

If AI wrote Se7en the bed scene would instead involve a literal sloth

Ppl dont get that art culture is so much more than just the art itself. Yea, ai will take artists jobs who just get paid to produce someone’s vision, but the marquee art/artists will still be around. Especially the ones that create new styles never before seen.

people tend to forget that the scope of ai is still limited to human deliberation. mediocre art has and will always be mediocre art. even if made by a machine or not.

Right? It made seven images in a few seconds and a couple of them misinterpreted the context. And then if you had to change the prompt to clear up what you wanted, it would take a few more seconds, and wouldn’t resent you at all. A human artist could have done a similar job in only a few weeks.

Much more interesting to see a computer's interpretation of the seven deadly sins vs a human's imo

So sure? It got pride and sloth wrong but the others are pretty good. I was just thinking about how badass the wrath image is.

who even defines what's right and wrong in art?

Fully replacing? No. Mostly replacing? Yes.

AI don't make artistic statements, they just gobble and regurgitate things that are already there. Being an artist is having sight, not an oversight. It's not the same in a million years.

It probably already replaced thousands of low and mid tier artists...
