If you think that you are so shit at directing you cant even understand the gap between you and them. I hope you are young so there's some room to improve because otherwise good luck with life. I should have known it was delusional of grandeur thinking that somehow you are an undiscovered talent and you don't need to put in the hours, you just need an AI to make a movie with your "unique" ideas. LOL

It's the nature of art(being subjective) combined with the fact the market has too little demand and too much supply of artists.

But imo if you have an inclination and you put in the hours you could almost certainly do it(at least at industry jobs). It's just that people give up long before they reach that level because learning art mindfucks you big time. To get better your perception should be ahead of your drawing and at the point where your drawing skills have reached or surpassed your perception then your perception gets ahead again. If you are getting better at art it's an endless circle of thinking everything you paint is shit which requires strong will. Obviously there's a lot of luck involved

I don't think you read my comment or you didn't make the comparison between art directors and movie directors. Movie directors are galaxies ahead of you in vision, imagination, and skill and not only do you think you can compete with them but you think you will stand out in the endless sea of movies that will be produced by 1 line prompts. And most likely you won't be even needed, movies will be created without your input to fit the mood your phone detected. Marvel movies until the end of time and nothing that doesnt exist already because AI cant come up with something that hasn't been created before.

Check some art directors that use AI art, they are leagues ahead already because they actually have the skill to tell what's a good image and what's not. You will notice a pattern with art directors supporting AI art that's because it allows them to replace every artist that was working for them it allows them to do what they didn't have time to do by producing images fast.

So you hate artists because they managed to beat the odds? and now they deserve to lose their jobs even though they spend thousands upon thousands of hours to get skilled enough to do this professionally?

That's an old idea. This was what artists including myself thought when midjourney first came out, but by how fast it improves and what its companies say its ideal use is it is inevitable that it will take the jobs from 99.9% of all digital artists.

It improves too fast and from what it looks like they train it from user data so it can produce work without even someone using it. That or the fact that if you have a grasp of art you understand how much better art directors are and that they are capable of replacing every artist in the world if they decided to unite. The only reason they are not doing it now is that they can't produce art fast enough to meet demand so they rely on artists.

So it's either it becomes good enough to do art on its own or good enough for art directors to dominate all of the industry jobs.
