Reply to comment by Fifthhorseman1 in The future: our POV (ft. AIart issue) by thebestmtgplayer

Yeah but i think this is where philosophy meets the real world in terms of use licenses. So for designs and art used for business or anything that will be sold there are strict rules around what’s fair use and what’s not. Most creative projects and businesses alike are forced to work with artists to create unique designs because of those rules, as it’s not legal to just pull from Google images and release something for profit. So what AI art will do is make it way cheaper to get small artwork created, and our price current “starving artists” while also driving going rate in the market down tremendously.

It’s not about the art itself or the proliferation of art in the world, but the humane aspects of how AI’s creation and distribution model will impact the humans in the same creative space

For sure, I completely agree. It’s not ‘right’ (? Perhaps wrong word) but it’s just one of many industries that will be majorly disrupted by AI, albeit one that we all rightfully hold very close to our hearts - in our capitalist world, this is clearly now unavoidable for the reasons you’ve stated, every penny counts when it’s time for a corporation to get artsy.

EDIT: adding to this, I just want to emphasise how dearly humans hold art in their hearts, and when coupling this with the idea that perhaps (or maybe just me) art wasn’t what people were probably expecting to be the first major public victim of AI (over vehicles, law, accounting etc), I think this explains the strong public response.
