• It also would be funny of you handle a pencil to a photographer and tell them that if they cannot draw the Mona Lisa they are not allowed to use the camera to just push a button and make a portrait. C’mon guys let’s bully those Photographer Bros, it’s fun!

        • You are not a God who decides what’s art and what’s not… sorry

          If art is the ability to paint then photography is not art. If art does not require ability to hand paint then AI is art. Logical inconsistencies are for religions and gods.

            … He literally said it was art you buffoon. Not to mention, photography isn’t just pushing a button and getting a result, photography as art takes a lot of effort.

            • You can agree with me in a more open-minded vision of art.

              I consider everything art, even things not made by humans or even living forms. Everything that tickles my mind is art for me, no matter how it was made.

                Interesting take. I personally disagree - I define art as the human experience/emotions being expressed exclusively by humans through various mediums. To me, that human element is what makes art “art” as it were. AI might be able to produce approximations of art and some of it might even look quite nice, but I don’t consider it “art” in the way I define the word.

                  I don’t even mean AI here.

                  I was thinking about a mountain (I’m sitting in front of one right now).

                  A mountain is beautiful, so beautiful that many humans have made paintings of it, take pictures, write poems. They have try to mimic the mountain beauty with their tools. But they did not make the mountain. Erosion made it. In reality here humans are just copying something nature made and calling it “their art”, but they did not make those shapes and colors, they did not create the emotions that everyone seeing the mountain feels. They are just replicating it. Here the artist is just erosion, the wind and the rain, the trees and the snow, not a human being.

    “Aw man, some person used an AI filter to quickly make a cute picture of themselves as a couple! Guess they should ride the sewer slide. Anybody who uses any AI whatsoever should krill themselves, otherwise there will be exactly zero human beings that still prefer art made with human hands, expertise and creativity!” ~ Dipshits all over social media

    FFS, they’re not taking your job, they used an AI on their own photo to do a cute thing that they’re not going to sell. If you’re a good artist, you WILL find work. I make art for a living myself (and am paid quite well for it), and on occasion I use AI tools to make my workflow more efficient while still doing most of the difficult bits (such as, idk, CREATIVITY) myself. This all-or-nothing approach the internet has to AI in art is unbelievably annoying and pretentious, and reeks of that classic armchair critic stench. God, people sure do like to post extremely dumb shit to make themselves feel better, even up to and including stuff that essentially amounts to saying “kys” in response to someone using a glorified Snapchat filter.

    • My one complaint in your comment is the “if you’re a good artist you’ll find work”, it’s simply not true.

      I’m a shit artist (im an untrained outsider slapping paint on surfaces to vaguely resemble what my clients ask for) and I find work, yet none of my friends who are legitimately talented are finding anything.

        I understand what you’re saying, that the job market is a lot of luck and can be unfair. But it does sound like they need to keep trying. Every determined, talented person I’ve seen enter my industry (gamedev, an industry at the bleeding edge of ai art as a technology) has done so after hundreds of rejected applications and eventually broken in. Is it fair? Not at all. Will you eventually have your value recognized if you keep at it long enough and keep honing your craft? Absolutely. The difficult part lies in not burning out and quitting during the agonizingly grueling process of breaking in, which I can sympathize with, as I’ve gone through it myself. I have seen many people end up down that route, but the thing everybody on that route shared was that they didn’t care enough about doing art to just keep on trying despite whatever circumstances they had thrown at them, which is just an unfortunate reality. And yes, for what it’s worth, AI is absolutely making that process more frustrating.

            I don’t care; they can downvote away. People on social media are stupid, which is demonstrated by the fact that if you read the rest of my replies, you’d see that I agree with Miyazaki, but also that everyone is interpreting what he was saying incorrectly by ignoring half of what he said, which is ACTUALLY disrespectful to the man. The important context in what he said was that an AI would not be able to replicate the expression of pain his friend felt via animation like a human who understands pain and emotions could, and THAT is why he found it offensive to life. There is a giant difference between that and using AI in your workflow to improve your efficiency so that you can focus more on the important creative bits, which is what Miyazaki was clearly referring to as being what he cared about.

            So yeah, dumbasses online not being able to read context or critically think from their social media complaint armchairs don’t have any sway on my opinion when I have a decade of real-world experience being an artist for a living on them.

        His reply doesn’t disagree with anything I said. Using AI to enhance your creativity and do work more efficiently is not the same as letting the AI do the actually creative/artistic bits for you, which seems to be the thing he’s upset at in that clip.

      I’ve seen so many people get so absurdly angry about this, it’s really sad. It’s just a fucking photo filter they thought was neat then forgot about. Let people have fun

        I get what you are saying but honeslty fuck that Ghiblify Trend. Miyazaki hated AI. Now everyone using AI to Ghiblify their image.

          He hated people taking humanity out of art, which is what is actually disrespectful here. AI being used as an efficiency tool to remove the more tedious, time-consuming and less creativity-intensive aspects of making art is not the same thing as letting AI write/animate an entire movie for you, which I do agree is an affront to the concept of human art.
