Art is dying and I blame AI for it

As time goes on and artificial intelligence becomes more advanced, it makes me yearn the earlier days when you actually had to work hard to create something beautiful. Having to take classes, practice, do trial and error to find what works…it made the whole act of making music and art soulful and genuine.

Now it feels like art is dying and people’s imaginations are so limited. It sickens me how easy it is to generate AI art with those disgusting piss filters and crappy hands. I have been studying various art styles and anatomy for years so I can easily tell the difference between a novice artist who struggles with drawings hands (because it is a hard part to learn) and ai slop fingers.

But sometimes it can be easily missed with how good the technology is getting. And with ai basically stealing peopl’s art it makes it even more unethical. Artists deserve to get paid and supported for their work, not having it copied and stolen by machines.

I can’t help but to worry as an upcoming artist how the world will be like in the next few years and what it means for the rest of us.
