I'll take that L if you find me one professional artist who uses genAI and not ironically.
I know a graphics designer personally (from work) who used an AI generated video clip as part of a proposed background video for the landing page of a marketing-style website that was getting a refresh on one of our projects. That one ultimately didn't end up getting used -- not because it looked bad, but because of other branding considerations. Frankly, I'm glad that he didn't have to put much effort into making something that ended up getting canned.
There's a LOT of art out there that's functional. Few people stop and pay attention to it as art in itself -- and it rarely lasts more than a few years before getting swapped out for something else in rebranding -- but someone with design sense still needs to make it or a product will be less appealing.
There were images created, in part, by generative AI in some recent Call of Duty game. The person who created the piece was employed professionally by the studio that makes the game.
Grimes, shared AI that copy her voice, claim to use AI: https://time.com/7212502/grimes-ai-art-interview/
I think we can do better than Grimes.
...unless you're lookin' to warm up that chrome.
I'm feeling safe unless you got any artists who managed not to fuck Elon Musk
Arent you moving goalpost, you asked one professional artist.
Here another one: Jess MacCormack
That'll do. I'll take this L but I'm still with Miyazaki on this one. Art opinions on Lemmy always getting me into trouble.
You asked to find an human with some opinion, of course there will be at least a few.
I'm not ideologically opposed to genAI, it's just that the people who own these tools don't view them the way you do. They want to get rid of all paid work, and not in a Star Trekky "fully automated luxury gay space communism" way like we'd all prefer. They want infinite wealth and power concentrated to as great a degree as possible. Confining the discussion to mere art is fully insane, and I stand with Miyazaki.
To equivocate yet more, I have enjoyed some genAI content (doopiiidoo on YouTube is doing really unique stuff with it) but the other point I really need to drive home here is that no matter how good our tools get, nothing is ever going to beat hard work - at least when it comes to art.
I'm willing to cede that this tool is of some use as part of a toolkit, but this is like saying Volkswagens from the 40's were pretty fun to drive. Yes, but...
I disagree on a thing, the amount of work does not make something a better artwork.
Maybe more impressive, but not necessarly better.
Unspecified value judgment acknowledged, have a great day
