How will artists and creators compete with AI?
Do we need to fight AI? How do we resist its rise?
Artists and creators. We need to remember that the reason we got along with AI is because it does what we cannot do, like playing chess against Kasparov (when he was world champion), or defeating two human players in a game of Super Smash Bros. What makes us special comes from our mind; that ability to interpret the world around us and create new things.
We live in a world where anything can be automated, or at least made easier. While this is great for people with certain jobs it could put many artists and creators out of work. As the world becomes more connected ,we are seeing rapid changes in our lives because of technology. Some fear that it will change and automate our jobs and consequently put us out of work.
Artists and creators find it hard to compete with machines that can do things that we cannot, like playing chess against a world champion or painting something that looks exactly the same as a famous piece. This begs the question: What makes human art special? And should there even be a distinction between “human art” and “automated art”?
The mind behind the art is what crafts it. Machines do what we tell them to do and can even think like us, but lack that insight into the world that only humans have. We cannot deny that there…
