Is there a way to get more work for human artists these days? It seems opportunities are diminishing rapidly, everywhere you look more and more instances of AI appears in real life.
Why is it that on the internet people seem to be very anti-AI, yet it's being increasingly adopted in real life?

We're not even getting into the artist who photobash/trace AI, is there even any stopping people like that?

acting retarded will surely bring all those job opportunities back. Not like the industry was already full of nepo babies anyways

>Is there a way to get more work for human artists these days?
Sure, but it's up to you to find those opportunities. There are obvious things that AI can't do, like traditional art (paintings and the like), or opportunities that will take a bit more hustle like forming a fandom around your characters and creating merch and such around that -- but professional office setting jobs may be a little difficult since the job market is turbulent right now for a variety of reasons atm (AI being one of those reasons).

>It seems opportunities are diminishing rapidly, everywhere you look more and more instances of AI appears in real life.
I'm not so sure that means much. Would you be worrying about artist jobs if it were stock art? How do you know it wouldn't have been stock art had it not been for AI? How do you know it wouldn't have been nothing were it not for AI? It's hard to say that these companies would have ever hired an artist for anything.

And are opportunities actually disappearing? Look up information to see how the graphic design industry is going, and you'll see that it's apparently struggling due to AI, and apparently thriving and growing at the same time. It's the same across the board for all jobs -- I've heard that there's been huge job losses because of AI, while I've also heard that AI has actually had very little effect on the job market at all. It seems people on both sides of the issue are screaming loudly, and it's hard to know who's telling the truth.

>Why is it that on the internet people seem to be very anti-AI, yet it's being increasingly adopted in real life?
There were always assholes in the corporate world. Hardly a surprise that they don't give a shit what the public thinks, when they can save a few hundred by not paying an artist.
But it's also hard to tell how the actual general public feels. Sure people on twitter are spazzing out, but how do actual people feel about AI being in the art world?

You guys are dumb. I'm the one who creates the jobs, yet I get no respect. I see how it is.

>now you don't have to figure out that they're selling slop because they're using slop to advertise
if you do not care how you advertise your products, then its obvious you do not care about what you sell
>>
>>8012827
Why does every slopper use that same shitty screaming at you look? I refuse to believe its that fucking popular for its look. Is it just t?he most accessible free model or something
>>

if normies would know how to advertise and their shit was good, they wouldn't try to scream in your face about their slop

Wrong board, kiddo.

It makes sense for a food stand, you're just selling hot dogs at what I assume is a con you don't really have to make the customer feel like it's an entire experience or your product is fancier than it is. These fuckers don't even have standing tables. Even withouth AI the average cheap pizza/burger/kebab joint is covered in neons and garish signs because they just want you to know they're there, a sober look is more suited to an actual restaurant.

The Dessert Kartel is actually the one doing it wrong, their top sign would fit a traditional pastry shop with a more luxurious vibe and contradicts both the bottom sign and the actual product.

irl has a lot of clueless people, and they're busy trying to pay the bills instead of keeping up with how you're getting fucked by a new company this week.
There's also a lot of echo chambers in the internet, among them the pro AI bunch which isn't small, but also there's also the "this is my hobby and I am against slop, but I don't care about other branchs of art and life getting fucked if it doesn't directly affect me" bunch and those are plenty, that's why you see some musicians and writers complain about AI affecting them but won't have any issue using AI slop for their art and branding.

Before AI they would have resorted to stock image websites or literally any free option long before considering paying an artist to design their posters.
When you see AI in public you should not see it as a missed opportunity for an artist.

A graphic designer would've been paid to put together those images though
>>
>>8013168
You know there are plenty of stock templates right? There's a reason many said that AI didn't do any damage, because Canva already existed.
Just put the stock images where the stock food menu tells you to put them, and you're good to go.

Unrelated but I never understood why small businesses can't just take photos of their food with a phone and have to use stock photos from google and now AI instead. I guess they want it to look prettier, but it's false advertising. Wish more of the world would adopt Japan-style false advertising laws.
Anyway, generative AI is popular because it's free. They want to get you hooked and make you think it's the future, so they're tanking the costs and gathering massive debt. When the bubble pops, it will cost money to use and will fall in popularity. There will still be free options from the likes of Google, but they'll have to be downgraded. Assuming they don't somehow make AI and hardware 10x more efficient before that.

You don't consider Frazetta's, Rockwell's, or Layendecker's work, art?

>>8013686

You can think that, but plenty of artists work as one.
>>
>>8013762
I don't even consider Michelangelo's commissioned works art, e.g. Sistine Chapel. Doing commerical stuff doesn't mean you can't be talented. It just isn't art.

Where does monetary incentive end and art begin?
>>
>>8012827
when did is style of ai start? The cool street fighter style letters. Feels like in the last few months it just exploded, which model is doing it?
>>
>>8013884
at zero

we lose in the end because we have to see ai garbage outside when interacting with society and over time the spiritual health of everyone is going to decrease. at least with stock images there was a soul and even with cheap hand made signs there is the belief that the store owner MADE IT themselves. Like you are in a WORLD where PEOPLE MAKE THINGS. We don't even have that anymore.
>>
>>8013899
>Like you are in a WORLD where PEOPLE MAKE THINGS
Sad state of affairs. People would also get paid to make those stock images too. Photographers, actors like Harold (who makes good cameo money just from being a meme), graphic artists, etc.

There was a whole ecosystem for creatives that AI gobbled up. Who benefits? Only the epstein class technocrats. It's so over.
>>
>>8013913
people like to compare ai to the printing press, but the printing press was really a huge boon for creative work. its kinda the opposite where literally no one benefits besides those who already have enough and things just look uglier and strange.
>>
>>8013895
Then you only consider graffiti and images uploaded to deviantart, art?
I won't deny your definition of art though. If a fucking shitty urinal can be considered art now, or a literal tin can of shit, then there's something wrong with the general art world's definition of art -- who's to complain about yours?
>>
>>8013931
no, niggers can't do art
if a bigger is doing it somewhere, it can't be art

Unironically low cognitive-resolution niggas. They can’t see the difference.
