It is currently the world of technology where we could possibly lose our pace when facing assignments your boss or teacher gave but have not yet comprehended how to use your laptop. In fact, the circumstances are far more complicated since the convenience of the apps nowadays are at high level, such as, Chatgpt which is an app that could generate a piece of essay within merely a few seconds, has successfully stirred up a group of students to adopt the app in order to have their preps done. Such a horror of the speed of technology, and we clearly understand that it has already doomed the art industry using the same method of obeying your orders and offering the work you require, however, it is not essays but rather images this time.
In the first place, I as who have put efforts on art and have been working as an art student can recall my memories of hard hours attempting to do well in skill development studies and noticing it is such an abomination for students to take part in this time-consuming practice. Since I began to build up a deeper connection to art, now I view of art as an access to your thoughts which only exist in your mind, and the Art itself is then the visual form of your imagination. As such, it is undeniable that skills determine how precise they are matched. On the other hand, we must accept that it can classify artists while mathematics has its own certain answer for every question, yet art does not. How well it is transformed into an openly viewed piece of work for the eyes of the people may perhaps act as an indication of success, which only the artist who created the order in their brain can have an answer to it.
In the case of AI art generator, the requester and the implementor are two differently built systems as defined as humans and software respectively, enabling unknowns to add to the transferring process unless technology solves it by unifying into one, or ensuring no errors will be produced when transferring. At this point, how precise the order is written cannot guarantee the work it produces will eventually achieve what you want, simply because imagination is endless and it is based on your background and so on, though, you mention to the AI a specific type of tree to avoid variation, but the shadings will not match what exactly display in your brain. This indicates one that there will still be a group of profound artists pursuing the basic skills of art to improve and bring the precise creation from their imagination in real life, second, the quality and creatively of the art industry will be limited.
How would it be? AI is a data base of the known resources, with countless images of one object and unimaginable numbers of them. Although AI can generate so called perfect images, they are clearly depended on what is known. If a group of people were to receive the order to draw a tree without naming certain rules, it would be a beauty of the variation of their work. And nowadays, we are in a world that is no longer unusual for someone to draw a dot and call it a tree. Hence, we can observe that the definitions of all matters are altering by only us, which the AI would still create a tree we normally identified as.
To the extent of the adoption of data base, repeatability of artworks increases with also shallower personalities being showed. A quote from Ways of Seeing by John Berger emphasizes this point as it says ‘‘the special vision of the image-maker was also recognized as a part of the record. An image became a record of how X had seen Y. This was the result of an increasing consciousness of individuality, accompanying an increasing awareness of history.’’ When AI art generators have no personal backgrounds, pieces made by them only distinguished as records of basic views from what people usually perceive, causing the loss of uniqueness in AI artworks.
From here, AI art generators seem to lower the requirement of joining the art industry regarding to the replacement of art skills, however, it will not set up limitations on the establishment of revolutionary artworks for who insists to adhere creating originally by themselves and skills learning. In fact, I predict that AI art generator users cannot rise in the Art industry as much as we are afraid, since people who act as one system of requester and implementor simultaneously to ensure quality work are in an advanced position. Besides my agreements mainly against the AI art, what do you think about art under the strive of AI?
