    Why Be An Artist When There's AI?

    A lot of things in the art world have changed since the last time Marshall and I talked, perhaps nothing more so than AI art. More and more artists are wondering what this emerging technology means for them. That’s why, in this episode, Marshall and I will catch up and discuss the current landscape of AI art, its ethics, and potential uses. Btw, the same day that we recorded this episode, Steven Zapata released a video about his thoughts that has been passed around widely. His video instantly made our episode outdated! As you listen to this, keep in mind, at that point we had not yet heard Steven's message - https://youtu.be/tjSxFAGP9Ss Stan's Drawing Basics Course: https://proko.com/drawing SHOW LINKS (some contain affiliate links): Disco Diffusion - http://discodiffusion.com/ Stable Diffusion - https://stability.ai/blog/stable-diffusion-public-release Midjourney - https://www.midjourney.com/home/ Dave McKean - https://www.davemckean.com/ Interview - https://youtu.be/I-PaCc96oQM Kirsten Zirngibl - https://www.kirstenzirngibl.com/ Kirsten Zirngibl Art - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/kz-art-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Kirsten’s presentation - https://2022.lightboxexpo.com/guest/kirsten-zirngibl/ Karla Ortiz - http://www.karlaortizart.com/ AI Spectrum from Kirsten’s presentation - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/kz-ai-spectrum-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Dorian Iten - https://www.dorian-iten.com/ Winsor McCay and African Architecture AI image - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/dorian-winsor-mccay-african-architecture-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Referenced McCay images - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/winsor-mccay-references-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Stan’s McKean AI - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/mckean-inspired-podcast-ai-art-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Art Parents episode - https://proko.com/330 CS Lewis - The Abolition of Man (book) - https://amzn.to/3UaBqfs Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein - https://amzn.to/3zukecE Perspective Box episode - https://proko.com/369 AI Marshall Young (not done yet) AI Kristian pimples - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/kristian-pimples-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Proko logo generation - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/proko-logo-koi-pond-ai-draftsmen-s4e01-4.jpg AI stuff sent to Marshall - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/ai-art-sent-to-marshall-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Skull paintover series - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/skullz-paintover-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Sandman Netflix poster - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/sandman-poster-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg AI Kim Jung Gi - https://restofworld.org/2022/ai-backlash-anime-artists/ Album covers - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/referenced-album-covers-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg Aaron Blaise art in studio - https://static.proko.com/media/images/stan/aaron-blaise-draftsmen-s4e01.jpg  Learn more about your ad choices.
