AI will make the creation of technically excellent art available to the masses. What does this mean to current artists? Do artists become extinct?
NO, I would argue. A short thread… 🧵
By “technically excellent art” I mean the way things look like. AI generated art will look spec-ta-cu-lar. Better than the skill level of 99% of artists. Already things like DALL·E 2 show what will be possible, and it’s just the beginning. Minds will be blown.
There’s a fundamental shift of importance, from the execution of the artwork onto what happens before and after creation. If you’re a competent artist, but with no message to tell, no unique style, you're in trouble. When everyone’s art looks amazing, how you do stand out?
