This is like a nightmare Romanticist version of David Hasselhoff eating that burger

I think artists like Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock have done a lot to preserve the humanity of art. For Andy, he would never need an AI to generate a soup can. Even if he did it's Andys commentary and perspective that is coveted. The same is true of the most intricate paintings or sculptures and their creators. Jackson showed us the act of making art is just as interesting as the art itself. An AI could pop out a million abstract pieces that looked exactly like a Pollock but... it will never be a Pollock. AI is no more a threat to art and the people who make art than the camera was.

As of now, here is no humanoid AI robot replacing manual labor, just trained AI software/tools/APIs that run on computers and perform some specific and somewhat complex tasks.

No, I don't think I've seen that one unless it's the corridor crew one, which to be fair still had a ton of work- but, no traditional animation though.

I mean photorealistic stuff. And while it's still not exactly at the same level of quality a studio can produce, the rate at which it's progressing is jawdropping. It's already rough getting an artistic job at a studio; in five years from now I'd be surprised if those jobs aren't at least halved thanks to AI. Because as you said, AI cooperates really well.

It's an invaluable tool for artists. It gets my vision out.

Even if it stayed that way, it would allow one person to do the work that used to take multiple people.

And it won't stay that way. AI image/video generation has been improving exponentially, and every month there are noticeable improvements in quality and performance.

A year ago good image gen didn't exist. Video generation with continuity between frames is a few months old. Speech and music generation also made huge progress over that. ChatGPT just added perfect text representation in the past week.

In a few years this tech will be unrecognizable.

Holy shit, finally an artist not wishing the death of all AI image generation.

I am working on a homebrew for DnD 5e, may I know what tools you used? I have access to openai services ATM.

I would like to try your iterative process to flesh out my characters!

Sure, it is awesome. That's not my point. Did you find employment or are you making a livable income thanks to that though?

Not for long.

You’re thinking of pasta.

I kind of wish there was a version without the AI body horror fuckery because the symbolism here is amazing

Worst case of mushroom cock ever documented.

I hate to break it to you, but nothings going in to that mouth. More like going out.

You also get to grow hands out of your forearms

the bugs and roadkill give it extra protein.

"Kakarrot! My whole body is erectile tissue! I've been gobbling heart pills for six weeks in a high gravity chamberrrrrr Kakkarrroooooooot!"

Looks like a vinyl figure

People can already, one has even won a contest.

You can use offline image generation tools like Stable Diffusion if you have a powerful enough machine. Also, if someone generates an incoherent image and keeps it, it's mostly for the sake of it, because you can try generating the image over and over again until something good comes out while tweaking the prompt and the negative prompt.

AI takes production out of the hands of corporations like Disney and into the hands of the people. You need a shit ton of money to hire hundreds of artists.

Honest question, how old are you?

You're the new novelty art account, congratulations.

On the shaft.

A little, yeah. But thank you for opening up about it.
