Creativity might be safe, but creative people are not.
99% of art is selling it. You can’t sell AI cos it doesn’t have a story.
As long as your work has a story, it’ll sell itself.
I’m sorry, but plenty of companies resort to gen-AI to make their adverts now, and that’s a net loss for creatives/designers/etc. Yes the generated visuals are shit, but they blend into the landscape, and not everybody happens to care
And why is that? Because those creatives and designers can’t sell their work.
That’s what I’m saying. As a creative, most of your work is getting others to understand why your creations are worth it.
I admit, it’s turning artists into salesman. But that’s somewhat poetic. It’s bridging the gap between how an artist expresses reality and their ability to relate that to the audience personally.
This is so far from the truth. You don’t need a story, just a marketing budget. It’s like you guys just forget Hollywood exists.
You’re right. But that’s not real art is it. That’s just a product for the masses. I’m talking about real, genuine art, provocative, unique expressions of reality.
Idealistic to the point of absurdity.
Your heart’s in the right place, but your mind isn’t.
Neither do humans, because it’s not a real thing
He doesn’t mean a literal spiritual soul.
Maybe we have an all-spark hidden inside of us. Those aliens from the documentary had them
Many of these same issues of creativity vs crafting vs the meaning of how things are made were covered in Diamond Age. It’s a wild, classic Stephenson novel, but it’s themes are being explored in the real world today.
I agree, I think that at this point the economics and ecological problems of running AI overshadow the actual use of it
It’s a powerful tool with a ton of potential for slop, but isn’t inherently creative. But in the hands of people that ARE creative and intentional with it, there are good use cases
