[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9271600, member: 20564"] I see this as a win. Just like the camera did not need a host of skills needed by a painter, from brush techniques to understanding the transparencies of their paints, and could be done by "anyone" who could compose and light a shot, we've now opened up additional creative possibilities for people. Yes, just like the camera reduced the demand for painters, so will this step of technological progress. However, the step has already been taken, trying to delay it is a losing battle. And yes, we feel for artists who need to acquire skills with the new tools - though many like composition, colors, and other parts of what makes good art are still applicable. But just like when the garbage trucks installed automated lifters for the garbage bins and technology removed those workers, automation will change what's available. And just like the camera didn't extinguish the watercolor or acrylic painters, nor did digital brushes that were a big step up for digital artists, there will be afterwards both traditional artists who have mastered the previous mediums which will still have a demand, and artists who specialize in the newest tools to make art. We absolutely have to solve the ethical sourcing issue. But Pandora's Box has opened, and if we're going to have AI art anyway, let's get "low detectability" AI art which looks good. [/QUOTE]
