Fullstack dev who works every day with Laravel, prefer backend, but I try my best to brush up on front end stuff cos that’s all anyone ever sees.
I write to make sure I understand things properly.
It’s true, midjourney does produce some weird and wonderful stuff, but I’d be very interested to see two pieces, side by side, one just an ai output and the other the same image but tweak by an artist. Do you think the ai one would still illicit the same emotional response from the viewer when there is a (potentially) more comparatively stirring version beside it?
Accessibility Specialist. I focus on ensuring content created, events held and company assets are as accessible as possible, for as many people as possible.
Oh side by side, I imagine an artist could add maybe 10-30% more emotion! I have no doubt of that.
But in reality, unless this was art that was of high value, the time spent would not be recouped as the commercial use case for AI art is generally "throwaway" and for short term use, rather than long term admiration.
I imagine most of the value of digital artists (from a commercial aspect) will be in composition from AI images (as AI is terrible for giving you exactly what you want in a single image at the moment), combining parts people want from multiple images into an image that matches the vision someone had. Also in clearing up artefacts (as AI loves to give creatures extra legs for example) on images.
Additionally AI art is (at present) very limited on certain subjects, because there is insufficient data in the training set, so there is still plenty of scope for work where a very specific item is needed.
All of this does not consider art for personal enjoyment, where there is far more value in the nuance a human can add. I cannot see AI art taking as big of a bite out of this market.
