I think AI art will be replaced by AI video, AI comics, AI games with a single prompt in ChatGPT-5 and be human assisted in ChatGPT-4. The current art technology is pretty but not superhuman and lacks consistency, once it surpasses the best humans it will likely become ubiquitous.

I think for artistry it will never surpass the best humans simply because there is nothing to surpass. You can't go past perfect, you can only move laterally from there. No one is beating da Vinci, Bouguereau or Gustave Dore.

Likewise, AI's context will always cheapen its art, especially for the sake of meaning and expression. Sort of like AI stick figures are meaningless, but a child's stick figures -especially of a deceased child - a priceless because of the context.

But from a worldbuilding/VR standpoint, there will be a lot of fun to be had. Games, that sort of thing.

Virtual canvases where you do a much more precise interaction and do most of the painting.l and the AI more or less just helps you execute your own vision? That will still retain the human context, but, like photography, will boost output.

That plus copyright troll AI is why I think AI art prompt programs, while it's here to stay, is unlikely to become a permanent mainstream fixture in the way that future tools that more accurately capture human intention will be.

Certainly from an artistic standpoint it's not possible to surpass Da Vinci, but a movie like Avatar 2 is more technologically advanced than any other from 10 years ago, or even a concept art for God of War uses higher technology. I expect AI to keep surpassing its own quality every year and reach quality levels that is impossible for humans to make in art, then movies, games, comics, books, music, programming, and eventually all other jobs.

Yes, I think ChatGPT-5 will be able to code an entire virtual canvas app with a single prompt where you can choose how much the AI helps with pictures.

About copyright, as an AGI enthusiast I want AIs to study the entire internet and then become our servants to accelerate AGI, but of course we need UBI first.

I think we're more or less saying the same thing too...

AI being used to replace the artistry of humans is like building robots to experience paradise for us, or "do the chore" of having sex with our wives for us. It's innately perverse, in my view. Heh.

But, using AI to remove many of the limitations from human artistic vision? That's a totally different ball game, and I suspect it will be more popular.

On the flip side, I plan to invest in my hand skills. Many woodworkers try to not use machinery because it takes away from the aesthetic of the craft.

Likewise, I value that sort of innate human hand effect quite a bit, so I'm investing in my skillsets in order to be able to carry that sort of thing out.

Yes, I think AI and automation is a good thing that will lead us to the singularity, I just hope for an UBI so nobody is left behind once GPT-4 starts doing a lot of intellectual jobs.

You might be interested in this interview where an artist interviews an AI researcher.

While I'm expanding my "luddite" skills, I plan to equally develop a command over actually interfacing with AI. I think this will be a huge skill in itself.
