I'm a content creator, not only music but also fantasy illustration, a genre that countless of AI images have devalued. I'm struggling finding motivation to finish a personal project which has that vibe and I did draw with my own mind and fingers. And not complaining, the technology is indeed a breakthrough and in time we'll see how it can become a tool for creators, but for now I rather to find ways to weave my own ideas (and words), and just hope people is not desensitized by so many drawings and artificial created content. I confess I find the images beautiful and even inspiring sometimes, but I cannot compete, I take weeks for a drawing, and now I have to see how people claim to be "visual artists" by the power of a sentence. As dystopian as it feels to me, I must accept this has happened. I am not sure how AI will assist in my craft, it's too early. I don't want it to write my songs or thoughts. So far there are lots of things that require some kind of regulation, laion database trained with artists images without permission, softwares are mimicking our voices and semblances without permission... and in some ways the rules are not set, thus leaving it open to lots of unethical use. For now, allow me to share my flawed human content, though I see a difference between dropping something that is entirely AI generated and something that is assisted by it and crafted by your own thoughts. I hope we'll get there, but at the moment I feel a greater urge to return to old fashioned paper and pencil and doodling my own thoughts the way that comes out of my head.
I agree that what we can provide that is "unique" to us is what is of value. Let's not fool ourselves, there will be always people taking advantage of things, too many greys still, but definitely not black and white.
We'll see with time. All I can say is that rarely progress goes backwards, so we artists need to accept that and face that storm. But I believe the rules of the game must be set to be a fair game for everyone.
and I HOPE there will be always value in human content.

I have said before that I feel so sorry for the genuinely artistic people whose work is being devalued by AI. I don't know the answer except that you need to keep believing in yourself and trust that others who know the difference will find value in genuine, artistic creativity and zero value in that which is created by code
It is what it is, and I say, it is not black and white, legit artists will eventually harness it as a tool or assistance, yet fully AI content, yes sadly it's replacing artists. why would a writer commission an illustrator if they can emulate one... and as I say, time, seconds versus a week...
I already lived through the "devaluation" of music due to streaming, do you know that purchasing a single physical album (noone listen to cds any more) is more than artists earn per streaming in months sometimes... ye it is what it is... you adapt and art finds a way, I'm sure it'll do
Don't you think it's all looking the same?!
I see an image and can tell if it's IA out not.
I see carrosels posts on IG and think, this was IA.
Maybe this will be a change and make the "real" creators to gain even more relevance having different kind of content.
I am going to tell you that ks a bittersweet reply, because what AI emulates best and has been sharing by the thousands is ethereal fantasy art and beautiful goddess portraits and it is precisely what I do, aming all tge artists affected by our work being worn out is fantasy illustrators. I have seen olenty if AI art that looks like my work but I do paint it 💔 so i can tell yiu it us not unimaginative or lacking it just mimicked all too well which is not surprising as models trained (without permission) on trending deviant art and artstation
So I am not seeking to change my style
i just check your profile and WOW! you have beautiful voice and photos and ... everything else. congratulations and I'm following already. wish you luck and yes, keep your stile. you are awesome!
I also make fantasy illustration to go along with my music, all my released albums have my art, but I actually paint them, this for example was for my song Northern lights (a
rt made in 2011) no AI then
Beautiful. ❤️
Please do not lose hope. Art is always an expression. Nothing beats self-expression thru art forms. Continue expressing yourself thru art. All the best 👍
Thanks so much. Appreciated
To be honest, I wouldn't worry about AI overtaking artists. I've used Night Café to generate images for me - to use as thumbnails for short stories I've written here - so I can get an idea of what I'm trying to imagine when writing, since I'm not an artist. But, sitting with an artist and describing a scene or picture would be a hell of a lot better than writing a sentence and hoping for the best with an AI art site.
I felt this. You're right, the kind of visuals that you (spend a long long time to) generate, is one of the areas AI is most used for these days. But we can still tell the real fantasy from the fantasy mostly, but yes, the value has been eroded for sure.
Right, right?
I have this project on the shelves waiting for completion each drawing weeks of work and at least months ahead... It does look a lot to images ai generated, thankfully I saved plenty of wip but still now on people will question or assume. Reminder to record my work in progress now on
Just trying to surf the wave
It is what it is
Happened for music before
We will overcome
But yes it kind of devaluated mybñ genre precisely
Luck lol 🤣 mean f... Lol 😆
