>>49242237AI is a tool. I actually had a legit artist hit me up on pixiv the other day to ask some questions about how I was doing my generations. Not some no name artist either mind you, someone that you've probably seen their vtuber art posted around /vt/ quite a bit.
We chatted and he showed me his own gens. He's using the AI in tandem with own skills/knowledge as an artist to make some pretty stunning stuff. I think he's a good example as to how artists should respond to AI. AI art is a tool that they themselves can use and take advantage of. I have a feeling that the artist who learn to make the most of it will pull ahead of their contemporaries that shun it.
>any other takes or points you think might be interesting "alternative angles" for artists and anti-ai individuals to think about?I think that the anti-ai individuals are missing the big picture with how much they're pushing the copyright angle on AI. Corporations like Disney are using these people as useful idiots to have angle for stricter copyright laws, which in the end will hurt artists much more. I don't want to get too off topic but there's a good amount of reading you can do on that angle if you haven't already.
