#some artists would rather (literally) die than letting AI crowds take their art

[scarefox]

Really wanna barf when I read how AI art bros admit that this will end the designer industry and artists way of creating of putting time and energy into a piece of work. But it will make it so much faster and cheaper and it’s still a “creative” process lead by humans. HUMANS WHO REPLACE AN ART PROCESS WITH PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE. Those are literally two different sides of the brain!

They all pretend as if this is such a relieve for artists and creative people for not having to spend so much time and effort with an art piece anymore and it’s done within minutes. When the process is actually a part of an artists life and being what they are taking away!

Do you know this popular quote among artists??

It’s true for many. The thing about artists is, that a lot of artists produce art to vent, to heal, to find inner peace, to express themselves and their emotions. Art is connected to an artist soul, to their being, to their life to their illnesses and pain. A piece of artwork ALWAYS has a part of the artist in it. Replacing this with typing code words into a program is absolutely not the same and is insulting to call it art as if that was on the same level! And on top of that we still have the whole disrespect of art theft that happens with AI art which profits from artists original pieces! Without all those already existing drawings, paintings, textures etc. that were all produced with lots of time and work and learning and pain - those damn AIs would not be able to produce anything!

Unethical as fuck but nobody cares for us designers or artists. Such bother that we are human beings with feelings and needs, who can’t spew out artwork every minute 24/7 like a machine, so better replace us with actual machines...

Sure, nobody tells you to stop creating art the human way. But why bother anymore?? Nobody will care, nobody will appreciate the work and the risk of getting your art stolen is not worth it. It’s all extremely demotivating and depressing.
