A Question That the Development of AI has Brought About
By Valentini Sismanidou
In our common era, our lives are centered around our phones and technology.
We scroll mindlessly trough posts, photos, videos, etc., with every chance we
get. With the success of AI, we come across multiple media made by artificial
intelligence on our feed, and we often don't even notice.
Art is a
creative form of expression, known for putting shape into words and feelings
and allowing everyone to take a peek into the mind of someone else. Art is full
of life, as it is one of humanity's greatest creations, with roots going all
the way back to our cavemen ancestors. Art is built into our instincts, and
though some may have a stronger calling to it than others, it still stands as a
beauty made from the heart.
With that
being said, people try to connect art with Artificial intelligence, completely
ignoring the fact that AI goes against the very core of what art is, which is
emotional human creation. They feed these machines illustrations of beautifully
crafted drawings made by artists who had to grow and learn the skill of art,
only to have their work cheaply stolen and replicated. These images lack soul,
have many inconsistencies, and are put zero effort into.
Now, why is
that such a problem, you may ask? Well, for starters, art is already a small
industry which has many risks as a workplace. Not many people dare to pursuit
their dreams as an artist, due to the income being low or due to it being hard
to find a job. With AI, these problems only increase, further damaging an
already fragile line of work.
Furthermore,
big companies will neglect skillful people and instead turn to AI in order to
create logos, ads etc, just to save on money that they very clearly have. A
very recent example of this is shown on JoJo Siwas’ new album cover, which many
people have pointed out as AI.
In
conclusion, with AI reaching a new peak and finding its way into the world of
art, many people are in danger of losing their job and possibly losing their
passion for drawing, as it becomes meaningless when it's not created from the
soul of a human, but rather the code of a machine. As humans we should embrace
the beauty of creation, and leave it for ourselves, as our machines should take
over other aspects of our lives.
