Does anyone else feel empty and discouraged cause of A/I "art" lately.. did I just spent 3 years in vocational hs and 5+ years practicing art by myself for nothing? Just to be fed to weird machines for profit? Just to get my dreams crushed over? Nah...Mar 10, 2023

I'm disappointed. I work in the IT industry and machine learning is an important tool for many things. But it is like always greed that destroys something amazing and turns it into hell. And the worst part is most don't understand what this means for everyone. They think they don't need artists anymore... It's insane. But please always have in mind that AI can be used for goodness. Pattern recognition for example.
At first I wasn't that worried, but seeing how big companies embrace AI "art" makes me so sad and upset, so idk anymore...
Kind of.
What we people put hours and days into making is being trampled by a machine. And then they make you pay for the robot to generate it--
Naa I dont care about AI anymore. Because they will never know the feeling when you really draw something 😊
I hope the lawsuits will bring something good, especially for freelance artists like yourself. It would be nice if the dataset is completely wiped out.
I get where your coming from but your art is so hard to replicate and I’d take your art over anything AI created anytime
