I had live long enough to see "the fall of cinema, because of TV", "the fall of TV, because of cable TV". "The fall of cable TV, because of the streaming"... and people still listens to the radio and read books, as long as they did before I was born.
Let me be skeptical about "the fall of creativity because of AI".
Genuine question. Why does it bother you? What is detracted from AI generated art that makes it lesser than non AI generated art? As an artist, do you feel threatened, replaced, your crafts difficulty minimized? Do you think telephone operators felt this way about automatic switchboards? Craftsmen about automated factories? Or is it more of uncanny valley type of thing where it irks you that an inanimate ai can approximate and replicate what we previously thought off a human only?
The AI can only learn from art already created by humans. An AI cannot have dreams or visions or a passion for something. If you think you've lost your passion because you think you're outperformed by it, maybe you never had any in the first place.
I've hired a bunch of custom art (over one hundread pieces) and Ai (right now) is super terrible trash. If you want a "pink donkey riding a car" AND you dont need it to be too specific - Ai is passable. Once you need ANY specifics/details/perameters/ect. It's unusable. Its struggles to draw symbols, it misses or messes up critical details. Dont even bother trying asking it to make a border, or follow magins, or any other professional editing at all. It is unwieldy at best... and plagiarises at worse... its like the worst of all worlds (right now).
I know. I have seen some really impressive images that are so good that I refuse to believe they are AI generated. I still have hope that, not long from now, someone will find out those were not created by AI and, we'll go back to normal but... I really don't know.
Im also studying in industrial design, but i think otherwise.
The AI will help eliminate the "client" where they want mediocre stuff for lowest price possible, and does not care much about the quality of the work. Because now, they have Ai as an option, they will stop crashing the industry with low price demand.
try working on stuff where you need human-context design, pure passion, or something that's meaningful and not just design or commercial sake
Watching the comments, I see your frustration: Most people here have no idea what artificial intelligence means. It's not programs, we're working with neural networks here. Brains. They create art, lightning fast in comparison, of fantastic quality, with true creativity. I'm working with ML/DL these years (Data Scientist). Next in line is Music, biomolecular research on pathways, and then Engineering. Welcome to the age of AI.
AI can at this point make some pretty renderings, but what it totally lacks is the ability to create sensibile design, or design to spec. If a Company wants a specific ilustration, with a newly designed character in it, doing something specific to the story, do you think AI can do that in less time than a top illustrator makes a digital painting? AI is, per now, a tool. If the user does not have the ability to work the piece further, correcting all the uncanny details, adjusting to something that's actually useful, the picture will end up as uncanny shit. No god damn art director commissioning designs or illustrations will go for that, only low tier indie companies lacking the fundamental knowledge of art and design. If you are smart, you practice harder than ever, and utilize AI as a tool, and you might just become highly sought after.
CG has ruined science fiction. In decades past, special effects were very expensive and difficult to produce, so they were used sparingly, and storylines, good acting, and ening plots all combined to make epics. These days, CG special effects are nothing more than eye candy, so directors and producers cram as much as they can into each movie. The results are boring.
Well, the same was said in 1822 when the photography was invented, that it would kill the art and look, they became more expensive. AI made art doesn't mean shit
