EP9: AI Art (NOT) A Real Artist
-
- Visual Arts
In this episode, we try and establish our feelings and thoughts towards AI.
Key Takeaways:
Since the beginning of time humans have wanted to express themselves via art, and with the use of tools. A.I generators are a tool.If we look at this tool in isolation, it is a potentially exciting development for those who are differently abled and may only have tech available to create. It’s also valuable for those who want to keep their art practises more independent of other artists.If we remove that isolation, we can see that: AI models have been trained unethically, without consent from Artists or compensation to artists.A.I Models are only as good as the data it has been trained on: that data consists of all the current issues we have in our society: Racial bias, patriarchal values, sexualisation of women.While seeing such beautiful images being generated by the click of a button can be disheartening we say: You will always find something to dishearten you in your art practise AND the value of art lies in the process of doing art, and not just the end result.Ways to pad yourself against AI if you’re an artist uncomfortable with it: form connection with your clients and community, we all want art from people we know and care about. Remember that story matters, keep telling your story, using your preferred tools.There are ways to opt out of having your art used for training AI models in the future. Resources to see if you’ve been trained also exist: https://haveibeentrained.comAlways remember that there is a lot of money and work going into telling us how we should feel about the tech that we get presented to us by big tech companies. And that opinions about new things are often strong.Therefore we advise you to have a look at AI and investigate it on your own before formulating an opinion.
