Reply to comment by AkaneTori in Ai art is a mixed bag by Nintell

what do you think about the parallels of this struggle between trained artists and ai art vs the past conflict that traditional physical artists had with digital artists? there was a time when people thought that any art made with a computer was cheating and not real art. could this be the same thing?

I think it's close, but certainly different. I'd sooner compare it to the invention of 3d modeling and animation, and how that's become a necessary skill in all art jobs whether you specialize in it or not.

I see a future where all concept artists will have to know Python if anything, but honestly it might also be a future where most creative jobs are sucked up and instead everyone is just an art director.

If you ask me, the most important thing right now is that artists try to actually take control of this stuff and learn how to steer it correctly so we don't get trampled by people who have no artistic history at all, which is less a concern about individuals wanting to make comics and shit and more about corporations snatching up literally all possible story ideas without actually making something of substance like how patent companies do with inventions.
