Simply put, will AI make photographers, filmmakers, actors, and the sort obsolete? Is the age of the artist over? Let's explore one of the most controversial topics of our time. #ai #sora #midjourney
I see what you're saying about the help of AI and, in some cases, the loss of opportunities due to technology. I agree with this sentiment. I would also add that humans have inherited value, regardless if they create art or not because we’re made in the image of the ultimate Creator.
No, it won't take the art of our cultural experience, but make it harder for some to get paid for it, when you hear "it's just a click with PS AI " - like getting paid for image edits. Everything is termed AI right now, but when the dust settles we'll hopefully get useful tools for creatives to enhance workflows.
Throughout the industrial revolution of the past 250+ years, any new technology has never lead to less work, it has only displaced work and usually for the better overall. I see AI as no different, from a printing press, a steam engine or a loom in our history. Will AI affect individuals who do more repetitive creative work? I am sure it will, in the same way we don't let monks copy book manuscripts, don't let horses drive our pumps and factories and don't hand-weave our fabrics anymore. But will it create new efficiencies that also create opportunities for creative people? I am sure it will too. It will affect those unable or unwilling to adapt, and to learn new skills, but will create opportunity to almost the same degree for others. And we do value the human touch and genuine skill. Has the drum computer replaced the drummer? To some extend, but to some extend certainly not.
