01: A girl labeled ‘Artists’ is holding a drawing tablet and pen under her arm. She is wearing round glasses and a blue sweatshirt. She has messy dark-brown hair and a brown skin-tone. She says “We don’t really wanna MAKE A.I. art.”
02: A guy labeled ‘Art Enjoyers’ holds his hand out while speaking. She is wearing a purple and yellow hawaiian shirt with a floral pattern over a white t-shirt, and has red hair and a light skin-tone. He says “We don’t really wanna SEE A.I. art.”
03: Behind them both, there is a cute girl in a business suit with a pink tie. She is blushing a bit and has pink eyeshadow, and looks upset. Her messy shoulder-length hair is parted in the middle, and held by two hairclips: one that looks like a red arrow pointing down, and one that looks like a green arrow pointing up. She says “Um … I-Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” She is labeled ‘Shareholders’.
04: She puffs up her cheeks and pouts, a tear is on the verge of falling from one of her eyes. ‘Artist Enjoyers’ Guy is now in front of her yelling “AH!! SHAREHOLDERS-CHAN!!” while ‘Artists’ Girl is in front of her yelling “WE’RE SORRY WE HURT YOU!!!”
Ha ha the Dada movement was so… Bizarre. I don’t even know if they themselves even cared about it. It was really a watershed time for painting and art in general IMO. Like Fauvism or cubism or absurdism.
I think people misunderstands a lot about AI and also a lot about art, you see some slop supposedly taking a graphic designers job, and people are up in arms about “AI is making art and stealing artists jobs”. For me it’s not that black & white and say if an energy-efficient AI can help someone make a fantastic comics well then IMO that is good.
AI on itself will never make art, like a camera won’t, but I think lots of people will use them as tools in their art creation journey.
