what's your take on ai art

Do you think it'll take over traditional and digital artists :(

How could AI 'art' reasonably take over a commodity which by virtue of its existence is valuable purely for the context by which it's made? Even prior to the AI-surge there existed artists of extraordinary skill and output that simply lacked the artistic and cultural context to give their works the same derived-value as someone less technically-inclined. If technical skill were all that made art valuable to us, we'd have coined it a novelty centuries ago. Image generation will replace a certain category of art: the commercial, the disposable, and nothing more - and that is a monetary downturn for the artist. It's not as though companies, hell, even mid-tiered businesses ever truly lacked the means to buy and fund whatever creative projects they wished to fund prior the burgeoning of AI 'art', and though some have the vanity to try, it never, ever, works - without a discerning vision, they could generate a trillion pretty pictures and lack the eye to pick out the good from the bad between them. The value of art in a purely cultural or contextual sense has never been more significant, if not in direct opposition of this commercialization and laziness.

day 287-- a really special Ko-Fi request:

NC is my homestate, and though I'm not in the mountains, the absolute destruction of the WNC area has been catastrophic and gut-wrenching to witness. I'm sending love to all my fellow Carolinians and Georgians + Floridians affected <3 and I would encourage everyone to try and take a little time to educate themselves on the communities in Appalachia, and/or donate to these organizations that are doing amazing work at the moment:

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

they should legalize polyamory. everywhere. and im not kidding at all. if someone wants to marry multiple people they should be allowed to. for any reason.
