I got paid in fun at this event, it really was great...although I had to pay for the fun. It's the first time I've done something like this and I think I'll do it again.
I know from experience how satisfying it is. Each time you do it, you'll learn something as well which will be included in the next one. It's rare in life to find something that offers someone the ability to actually witness or feel progress and results in real time.
One of the main reasons I got hooked on digital art though was simple. Paint and what one paints on can be both messy and expensive. Even though my hardware gets dirty and isn't free...
Satisfying indeed, the journey through doing something creative; I wound this with music as I progressed from almost fiver years old to become very proficient in my late teens. There's always more to discover and learn though.
I remember how my dad's style changed throughout the years from before I was born and throughout my life. I have that journey, the paintings, and it's amazing the differences; he revealed more each time and applied his craft, as you say.
Yeah man, that's exactly right. It's interesting, the memories looking at a certain piece can bring...like, I can recall watching my dad paint it or the opening of the exhibition in which it hung, me whinging to dad about coming to play Lego or something with me instead of painting. A clock of sorts, of his journey and mine also. I wonder how many people will say that about art that a computer created...I can't imagine they'd have much of an emotional connection. Although, people are nutbags so maybe they will.
I've been studying the reactions. I find the human mind fascinating. It's common for people to find a way to talk to or about art or think they need to. It's been like that for centuries so in a way, the behavior is programmed in. There's even a stereotype you'd be familiar with, how someone is standing there trying to sound sophisticated but it doesn't come across as authentic. That's not everyone of course, it just exists and it's kind of absurd.
So I'm discovering people are trying to find ways to react to AI in a similar way. Akin to complementing the paintbrush rather than the painter and it can seem a bit off at times. It's still magic to the viewer, like most art, especially if they don't know how it's made, so they're trying to find ways to compliment the magician by saying nice things to the cards.
AI is still somewhat new in this context so it'll take awhile for people to catch up and be able to process things a little more naturally. People are dazzled by an inanimate object. In some ways just as confused as one would be seeing an automobile for the first time. Wondering what it eats and how; petting it like a horse. I even caught myself saying, "Thank you," to an AI search chatbot the other day. And of course it responded with a fake, "I'm so glad I could help you today!"
They still get paid.
This is true.

Yeah. You paid the bullshit artist. I'm joking!

It's almost like a calendar or a clock. If you're familiar with someone's work, can tell the date and time just by looking at it.
These also just so happen to be some of the elements one loses by using AI, but that's a story for another day.
