AI art can be so ugly, and I don't mean the style. I mean the uncanny errors. AI art is the true uncanny valley.

I finally played around with it with my young daughter a couple days ago for laughs. Now I actually see the point of it.

Yes it's ugly as hell. But it's the rapid prototyping process of art. You ask it to slap some shit together. Nope, that's awful. That's worse, that's hilariously terrible! There is always something wrong.

It's great for throwing ideas at the wall far faster than a real person could sketch them. Especially if that person can't draw, like me. But the finished product is only ever worthy of a meme, not a gallery.

However an artist could easily use that process to brainstorm some ideas. It's like psychedelics but the computer is taking them for you

Yeah, I had to create a logo for a project, threw the key words into DallE-3, generated 30 drafts and recreated my favorite one with GIMP. I wouldn't have been able todo so without AI

Yeah for this reason I worry about illustrators and concept artists. Those used to be dream jobs, now I'm not so sure they're even jobs anymore.

Realistically they haven't been jobs for awhile. Read up on William Morris.

Illustrator I can't see going anywhere as AI still makes too many mistakes. At least technical illustrations, that is. For something like a paperback cover or low-end kids book AI already has that market covered.

Concept artist is probably toast for sure. Except in specific Industries like automotive where you need a real concept for development.

shoutout based OP.

thanks for the heads up abt the link. given that at least some of the art is human made i’ll leave it up for now. if anyone knows of a better way to find visually similar human artists please let me know.

When I was in tech support I used to say that I did the work for free, but I charged for the time I spent listening to people confidently tell me things that were wrong.
