Comment on Pika Labs new generative AI video tool unveiled — and it looks like a big deal

What artists do you know that make money off their art?

this is such a bad take, I present to you, society. and the hundreds of thousands if not millions, tens or hundreds of millions of employed (either self or through businesses) artists.

and using the “starving artist” as a goal we should transition to just really sucks in concept. I’m not sure you would say the same if it was your profession.

I am an artist, who uses AI to assist me…

I know reddit lemmy is full of techbros but geez have some compassion for other people.

So because I don’t see AI as a big scary monster coming to devour our souls I’m a Tech Bro and don’t have compassion?

But yeah, fear AI all you want, but artists will always be needed even if the bleep Boop machine can do it faster.

  Writing prompts for an image generator doesn’t make you an artist, lol

    Well not in the sense of the word you’re using, but there is an art to getting them to do what you want if your doing more than just dumb shit like I post on this account.

    There is some technical skill involved in making it output something in the direction you want, but nothing exists until you hit enter, only a vague concept. The process is so detached from the artistic decision making that it is a complete outstrech to call it art. You can never have a personal style doing AI stuff. No vision, no nuances.

  I am also an artist, and I frankly think you are a shite artist if you need to steal other peoples work.

  Do you mean that you were an artist who made art before AI image generation existed and you’ve incorporated it into your art, or do you mean you’re an artist because you type out what you want for the AI? Because people just paying artists to make something for them are also artists if that’s what you mean.
