It's a similar shift to how photography and film changed the world.
Humans can make photorealistic images. But it takes a long ass time. Even if that's just one day. But most painters would work on their pieces for way more than one day.
So a photo makes a realistic painting kind of a waste of time and effort. Just take a picture of the person instead of having them pose for a portrait.
Did that kill art? Hardly. People just used their time to make other kinds of drawings. Comics. Anime. Graf. Things that photos cannot capture.
AI kinda takes away the effort of setting up a photo. No need to even travel to the spot and make someone pose for 10 seconds. Now, just have the AI cook up the photo. And of course you have way more subjects, outfits, and settings than any real person could ever amass.
Will this kill art? No.
The Simpsons.
Giger's art that inspired the Alien xenomorhs.
Imagine Dragonball without the human design element that has become so iconic. A hyper realistic image would never match how cool some of the manga images look in simple black and white. You could REPRODUCE the design that has been established. Make an AI manga page that's cooler... But you'd have to feed the AI all of the hand drawings FIRST to make it "improve" on it.
Real photos will never die. There's a news story, major gathering of public figures, or a sporting event.. you wanna see a record of it. Not an AI generated fictionalized version of a boxing match, the real footage of the fight.
Right?
The best thing you can do is educate yourself and educate those in your cypher about how to judge the images online. Going forward, "believing" a random photo, song, or video is the same as me drawing a stick figure and claiming it's real evidence. Just STAY WOKE. Be aware that bullshyt is on the rise and stay skeptical.
