Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest 7037866" data-source="post: 9518001">"Jobs" in creating art has always been difficult for most. The "Struggling Artist" is not a cliche for no reason, after all.Hand-created art can work side-by-side with digitial art, and both can work side-by-side with AI-created art IMO.Artists who create physical work, and to a lesser degree digitial art, will always be in demand. I know I can get better "quality" art from a real-life artist and if I had a commerical product, I would find real-life artists who could create the vision I am looking for. In the meantime, AI art fills a very useful role and most definitely has a place IMO.Do I think AI art is at the point of "They took 're jobs!" yet? No, not really; at least not if you are "good" as an artist. Will it reach that point someday? Not entirely. Only the best artists will excel against AI art as it continues to improve.My point was simply an artist can embrace AI, they way many embraced digitial art, and work with it and use it for themselves to their betterment, or they can choose not to. If they choose not to and aren't "great" artists... they will probably be bitter that "It took 're jobs!" when in reality it didn't; they probably were not skilled or talented enough to earn the job anyway. And even if they had, would the customer be happy with their work? Who knows.All I know is, as someone who draws (by hand--I've never embraced digital art really) I am decent, but no where near good enough to make a living at it! With AI, I can produce better results, quickly, and if I don't like something I can try another prompt to get something better.I also am an amateur photographer, and it reminds me of decades ago when "digitial" vs. "film/analog" was the issue.We have movies, but there are still plays. We have recorded music, yet people still enjoy live shows. If anything, a great artist will find their work even more prized for being "human" in the long run compared to AI. Will there be as many people who want to buy it? Probably not, just like movies hurt the theatre industry. And streaming has hurt the movie theatre business. I still see a play once in a while, and go to the movies about once a month, but I watch movies at home daily.</blockquote>
