AI and the replacement of human art.

Question

I am paying Adobe user and professional artist, and I have worked with Weta Workshop, in publishing and on the game Subnautica Below Zero. Adobe helped me build that career.

I should not have been surprised that Adobe would be ready to throw working artists away with the total replacement AI tools they have been revealing. But I am still dissapointed at just how fast the company seems to have decided we are to be replaced.

That we are being replaced by AI's trained on art WE made is all the more tragic. I understand that it is the nature of Capital to be inhuman, but to feel and see it happening is a new experience in my life.

I wanted things to be better. More humane than this. I hope on the other side of all this the creative minds of humans still mean anything at all.

It's no secret here that I view AI-generated imagery with deep skepticism.

I'm not worried about artists being replaced. True human creativity will always prevail. It always has throughout history and it will this time. The main problem is that it encourages laziness and sloppy work. Of course, Photoshop has always sort of done that ("I'll fix that later"), but not to the extent that is possible now.

The best thing you can do to stand up to the flood of AI, is to do good work. In the end, that will cut through and stand up for itself.

BTW, the models aren't trained "in the wild", but on submitted Adobe Stock imagery, and as far as I know you can opt out.
