AI artwork is a fun toy to play with. I’ve used it myself sometimes when I got bored. I can even see usefulness in it as a way to help people flesh out ideas. I would never generate an image using AI and claim that I “made” it though. I certainly wouldn’t be able to bring myself to charge money for it as if it were my own work.
That would be like if I opened a restaurant but only served burgers and fries that I ordered from the McDonald’s down the road and served it in the same wrappers with the name just crossed out. Sure, I told them exactly what I wanted, but I didn’t actually “make” anything.
Okay so should photographers stop taking photos because they didn’t make anything they took the pictures of? See for photography the product is literally a technology applied to an existing object.
AI Models produce new things from existing knowledge. It’s not copying. It’s not duplicating. It’s taking “inspiration” from and generating.
Not capturing.
Creating from.
You yourself could go out and take your own images and train your own model and generate unique content from that. You’re telling me you wouldn’t feel comfortable with that?
To be worried this stuff will “replace” a field it’s not even a part of makes 0 sense. People will still want photos of real people things for one reason or another.
No artist ever lost their fucking job in the history of art, and that’s pretty fucking clear considering we’re still painting all these years later.
Enough of the paranoia and stealing of power away from the public. People will continue spouting their paranoia until the government comes in and takes all the power away from people who could be making real money and a living off of 0% copywritten material
