AI: A New Tool or the End of Human Art? - An Incomplete and Unqualified Opinion Piece from a True Neutral Artist
If you haven't yet somehow caught wind of this new discussion of AI vs. Human Art and the many questions and ethical concerns that have been raised, you were probably just going about your own business and ignoring the general noise generated by social media at all times. It's OK, really... You were doing the right thing and protecting your mind, but you're probably curious or you want to hear what my unqualified thoughts are. Either way, I'm here to catch you up on what the heck AI art is and why everyone's been debating if it's good or evil - in my own way and my own words.
Here's what made me decide to record this a couple days ago: I downloaded Midjourney in July after someone told me about it. A little later, I realized that many were debating everything about AI art. Was it really art? If so, who was the artist? Was it stealing form human artists? Or was it stealing like and artist? Was there a right and wrong way to use it? And so on. I'm far from an expert, but I'm an artist with a true neutral alignment who has a philosophical side and many opinions; and fittingly I don't have a side on the issue.
To stoke the fire, I have made this episode's art with Midjourney again.
