Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Is entering AI art into a contest fair?”.
What are your thoughts about the person wearing an art contest with an AI generated piece of art as someone who doesn’t really get art, but who can certainly appreciate seeing something I like and and values the work that goes into it? I I guess I’m excited for being able to just like for the cost of getting a print done decorate. My house, which I think is super cool. I see it as a potential um. I see it as a potential danger to the craft, though of art over time.
So while it’s pretty easy for me to say, okay, I saw someone tweet at me, uh a portrait of Linus Sebastian in the style of Rembrandt right and they like they looked awesome. If I wanted a portrait of myself in the style of Rembrandt, I guess I could put that up. Um, I don’t, but what’s going to be the style, then what will be the the future styles that we can plug into our our AI generator? With that said, maybe it’s a total and totally invalid concern.
People create art just because they wish to create art and the value of something created by a person doesn’t seem to be tied to the number of hours they spent on it. The ease with which it could be replicated by something else. It’S it’s about the it’s about the person.
It’S about that that aura around them right. We don’t we don’t we don’t pay a hundred thousand dollars for a painting or whatever else, because it looks the it looks. Ninety thousand dollars prettier than a ten thousand dollar painting.
That’S just like not how it works. It’S about it’s about who you know and it’s about Connections and it’s about notoriety, and so I don’t think that an AI artist. I think that it could absolutely take out a lot of commodity art, but I don’t think it’s going to take out um like high-end art um, like Boutique art, if that kind of makes sense. Yeah, like hide your money from taxes, art, I think yeah. It won’t take that. Well, it’s a whole separate conversation.
Yeah, oh for me, on the art thing. I think it’s just completely down to whoever’s hosting the contest. Do you allow her to do not it’s like the same thing with speed runs right tool, assisted speed, runs tasks, speed runs, those are they have their own category? You could have an art contest for for AI generated art, whatever I think it’s down to the contest. I don’t think I it’s, I I’m going to say the same as Lana, so I’m not in that space, I’m very far from being an artist over on Twitch says: AI art only looks good as a professional artist.
You need to be able to thoroughly explain your context to be taken seriously sure um, but yeah. That’S fair enough. I don’t give two about any of that, but I suspect uh. Ai artists could also start working with gpt3 and have it write a blurb that goes along with the art and explain why it’s cool um, if you think that’s a limitation now I’ll see you in two years um, but either way. I I just.
I think it’s always going to be a different different space. Yeah yeah, I agree, like smart smartphones, put cameras and put video recorders in the pockets of of everybody, and that doesn’t make it so that you don’t still need filmmakers right, like it’s yeah. What we also see is that you can sell prompts for the AIS to generate stuff, which I think is so interesting. It’S like this guy who was in the art contest was like. I will share what my prompt was to get this art later and like is trying to sell this prompt to get the art that he had made that one so very interesting future I mean it’s a kind of Ip.
I guess yeah yeah, it’s like if you’re. If you’re really good at configuring, the machine that has a value so sure yeah, I’m just very surprised, but it makes sense. Similar things have been done in the past.
